hi all.

need some help here.i know i shouldnt be doing these speeds but i think everyone has to try it and when i did i could only get 125mph out of my 150PD.whats that all about?
anyone got any ideas as i dont have a clue.everything else seems to be working fine.a little turbo lag but  i think this is normal for the golf 150PD's

you should be getting more from your 150PD

i can get around 140 on the dial from mine but not really pushed it as its due a service ASAP

on paper top speed is 135 or 136, you should be able to get that easily even pulling from 80mph in 6th

When you`ve had the service done, i`d be interested in a pic of you doin 140  :smiley:

i should be able to get it in next week, i might have my sat-nav by then so would be able to see what the actual speed is and not what the dial is saying.

i got a tdi 100 remapped to 145 i have done 130mph piece of cake in it,  M62 11.00pm heading North towards Leeds.

 it gets to 120 no problem and then it takes it tiem but i squeezed 130 out of it.
