Well after deciding it was time to return to a diesel i stuck an advert up tuesday and by the following night she was being driven away, i regret it still but on saturday found a nice black GTTDI150! . Forgot how quick these were and still returning decent MPG :evil:
Ill stick some pictures up but at the minute its totally standard but im on the look out for some 18" rs4/rs6 winter wheels and ill sell the standard alloys on them. got a few plans for when the weathers better (tints, lower, anni valances) other than those and the rims hoping to keep it sensible and maybe buy a mk2 track toy down the line. i need to get the cambelt done as theres no record of it so if anyone knows the change intervals and expected price that would be helpful as i only know 1.8T's!
cheers! smoke and out :grin:
-
will look out for the "I've popped my boost hose off " thread from you at some point then :grin:
-
i would do the cambelt every 60k still like a 1.8T.. get some piccies up mate.. im debating swapping the 1.8t for a gtTDI in the new year..

thats what i thought but being a diesel and with the common camshaft fault on the tdi 150 didnt know whether it was different :smiley:
-
just read an old thread and steve_pd said every 60k and water pump as well..

" The Mk4 Dark side forum"
"200 bhp derv? No probs! " :grin:
-
no your right there tech but the mpg is way better than that of my 1.8t :laugh: thats why i try an drive the wifes derv lol
-
200 bhp derv i like that idea :grin:
-
maybe in march i may be on the hunt for a GTTDI to swap with my 1.8t.. see how much petrol rises to in the new year..
-
200 bhp derv i like that idea :grin:

Ray reports easy 45mpg when not booting it, probably more :cool:
-
I dont want to go down the remap route due to the camshaft issues + the need for a stronger clutch, should imagine the torque is proper epic though! :cool: feels just as fast as my beta r-tech remap i had on the T!
-
Camshaft issues happen whether its mapped or not
-
get it mapped dont be a whimp !!
-
Camshaft issues happen whether its mapped or not
yeah true, but the remap puts more stress on the engine and makes it more likely!
what mileage was steves at when his went rhyso?

Urm about 45 - 50K miles I think. Must be well over 130K on the clock and he's still on the original clutch............
What year is it? If its a late one then it may have had the revised cam followers fitted from the factory
-
done 104k and its a late 52 plate (december 2002 registered)
so hes had the map about 50k before it went?

Same as Steve's then
Yeah easily 50K I would have thought
-
so mine won't have the followers fitted?
-
Steve's may be for sale soon :evil:
-

Unlikely to have the revised followers being a 52 plate like Steve's
Steve's may be for sale soon :evil:
With intergalactic mileage :grin: :grin:

boost hoses pop off due to the turbo vanes sticking and the weak as sh!t plastic intercooler joins, not a remap :wink:
