Help. Golf running like a bag of nails

Mine has smoked since the day it got mapped. No boost leaks.

[JackM92]

Thought they all give out quite a bit of black smoke. Most of my mates tdi's do.

Anyway, Took the maf off then and took it for a quick blast. There is a section of dual carriage way near my house about half a mile long, Entered it at about 40mph and the best i could get out of it was 70mph. I was in 4th and it was crawling up slowly.

I will check in the morning if there is anything loose.

Try cleaning the sh!t out of your egr and inlet manifold    you fitted those pipes yet?

Not if they are running properly. Sounds like it could be a boost leak

[Steve_PD]

EGR is clean. am not taking off the inlet as I cant be arsed. And no same reason as <<<that.

Next car I buy will not have to be mapped to achieve what I want, it will be prefect out the box....oh Ive heard that before....

Went to my local vw specialist whi have got a good name and they fixed the brake pedal switch and there was a slight boost leak which they fixed.
Turns out the real problem is the camshafts, They have quoted me £400 to supply and fit some 130 cams. Does this sound about right? and is there any benefit to 130 cams?

£400 isnt a bad price then.

[Steve_PD]

No its not but Id be wanting new followers at least as the 130 ones fail as well!

[JackM92]

I will have to ring them tomorrow and see whats included.
Will the car with the current spec run a pd150 turbo or will i need more parts? I just though while it was in getting fixed and getting a remap after it might be worth putting the 150 turbo on.

[Steve_PD]

It will run a 150 turbo no problem. So its the cams on a 115PD have gone then? And to think everyone says its only the PD 150's which suffer from cam failure.....
