Few Noobie Questions...

[Flashy]

Hello all,

I have just got myself a 2000 Mark iv 1.8t and I really impressed, I used to have back in the day Astra GTE,s 205 1.9GTI and a 206GTI where these were fun cars I really like the solidness of the Golf. One thing is im not used to a Turbo and the sudden power that kicks in at 2500-3000rpm? (cant hear the turbo that well) anyways was just wondering a few things.

1. When I change gear when excelerating hard the engine carries on reving up about 1000 more RPM is this just a turbo thing?
2. I have a rev counter of course but the engine noise is very low and I dont like to look at the needles really. anything I can do to fix this apart from a new exhaust?
3. On starting my car in the morning leaving it for more then 12 hours I get a noise like the fuel pump is starting up later then normal and it run very choppy for the 1st 2-5 mins. It has just been serviced so I am not sure if it is that. Anyone have any ideas?

Sorry for the noobie questions but I plan on keeping my Golf for a long time. I hope you guys can help me out.

Thanks,

Flashy.

secondary air intake thingy or whatever its called? what engine code have you got (or do you have a cable throttle if you dont know code)

that might be the noise when its cold

Good Morning

just taken it down the local performance center and they said it over revs coz the clutch is on the way out : / it also seems that is hasnt been serviced for a few years even though the dealer says he did it ( and I belived him why? lol) so that might be the choppy running.

As far as I can tell its not a cable throttle tg1, the guy at the shop had 1 machine for the codes and it was beeing used so he couldnt get hte codes for me today.

Thanks for all the replies.

Its from the front for sure

Hi
In that case it is not the fuel pump noise.
