Hello everbody,
My name is Marko, I am driving '96 Golf 3 1.9 TDi 90hp.
I was wondering what is the top speed of this car, without boosting anything on the car.
Why?
Well I drive it for like 2 years, and I had car accident with it. Before it I drove it 140km/h max.
One night I run trough the wall with it doing 90km/h. Car was destroyed, but I fixed it because engine was still working. I had to change almost everything else on it. One of the things was gearbox( I put golf 4 tdi 1.9 110hp gearbox). So anyway, few days ago I drove it on highway, and my car couldn't do better than 145km/h. In the first 4 gears everything is ok(I think), and in the 5, car stops at 3500 rpm. When i hit the clutch it can go over it, but the speed stays the same. When I drive it down the hill it can go faster. Now I don't know if the turbo is maybe dead, or gearbox can't mach the engine or something else, can you guys help me?
