1.9 GT TDI PD 100 (100bhp): 42.8mpg, 143g/km

[gibson]

I just purchased one of tese today on a 52 plate. At the minute its at the other end of the country but it should be here next week. I wanted a 150 or 130 but i got a good deal on this so i hope it aint too slow   

ANyway just want to know if someone can point me in the direction of any links with good info on this model and does anyone know if there are any mods to be done to these to increase performance ( not including sticking a new engine in it  )

Thanks people, hope this is a good replacement for my old mk2 gti

100bhp? that sounds a tad under powered to me?! 
I know TDI's are Torquey but i got a funny feeling you will be a bit dissapointed.

I know TDI's are Torquey

Ain't that in Devon

100bhp, non PD I think so you can't remap em

you  can, but you don't get many horses for your dollar from the common rail diesel engines.

best bet is probably to improve the handling as best you can, arb's, coilovers etc.. that way you can take advantage of the low down torque when exiting corners/roundabouts.

Ok great help thanks. How disappointed will i be do ya reckon?? Any one have one of these 100bhp models?? I had a 1.8 gti 8v mk2 but it was written off. I never did floor that much as i preferred to keep it in best nick i could. Same with this, i intend to make it me pride and joy lol 

Just wondering if there was a way to say get another 20-30 bhp out of it for the future maybe. Not looking to spend massive amounts on engine work. More of a audio fan meself, thats where me moneys going

well ive been looking around the net on info about this model (googling lol) but cant find any info!! can someone help me out please. I just want some info on what can be done with these to increase the bhp a little.... Dont want nothing major however a little more would be nice 

hope this car is gonna be nice to drive as i havent test driven it yet  but i know where its came from so i know there will be nothing wrong with it which is the main thing!!!

[Neaty]

give tuning people like AMD or Revo a call and see what they can do

[gibson]

The 100bhp may be a pd after all.
I have a 04 plate touran with a pd 100bhp engine, and it does go well, so in a golf it certainly won't be underpowered.
By the way, you can re-map the 100bhp model to 150bhp
