Howdy,



Just thought i'd share some pics of my VW Golf GTI DIESEL, She's an 03 model pumping out 172bhp /282lb torque & gives at least 55mpg :D



I clean her at least once a week & wax her no less than twice a month, the materials used for these pics were;

Painted areas:

Maguiars scratch-x

Maguiars deep crystal polish

Maguiars NXT Tech Wax

P21S Cannuba



Plastic & rubber:

Maguiars Tech protectant



Glass:

Quick Detailer





I hope you like her, I do :cool:

bmxboy - It's good to see a fellow autopian ( and VW diesel fan)so close. I'm in Ashby-de-la-Zouch. The Golf looks excellent and is a credit to your efforts. I've previously used meguiars products and been very pleased, but am now using a mixture of Klasse and 1Z which I sourced through Autopia. For information these products were ordered and arrived in the UK within 5 days.

I take it from the figures that the engine is not standard. What are the mods? and are you pleased with them. Also how do you find the "new" Road Angel.
 
I am loving your taste in cars. :bigups To a fellow dubber.



Question: How are you making 172bhp and 282lb/ft. I know they start with 100bhp and 177lb/ft. My only guess here is perhaps a Stage 3 Rocket chip? I want details...defenitely cool ride though, my bud and fellow autopian has an 04 TDI.
 
Very nice...

I think in the summer, UK autopians should organise a meet.

Pass on tips, experiences and product recommendations etc.

Sparky,

How bizzare to find a dubber so local on a usa website, you may see her Tescos carpark, whilst Im shopping, not sat in the corner like some .



What VW you driving then?? is it a mk4 ?



You should check out

Yea I bought my stuff from autopia back in jan I think it was, you just couldnt get NXT localy, maguiars uk are a bit slack I think.

I've just received some pinnicle sourvan wax last week, blimey that stuff is awesome, such an amazing shine, well worth the £40 it cost:up



The RA2 is an a amazing bit of kit, & it matches the colour of the dials:cool: I had an RA1 before & thats was good too, & a snooper S5 before that but that was rubbish, unless you wanted to know were automatic shop door were:down



Breakneckvec: She came from the factory like that, shes a Pumpe Duse 150bhp version, but they tend to come with quite a bit more than their official figures. The only thing I changed was the pannel air filter to a piper-x, but that wont give any more than 2-4bhp extra.



m4xmw: you could be on to somthing there :xyxthumbs

bmxboy, nice job. We've got a couple of TDis, the Passat is chipped while my Bora has chip + injectors so my dyno numbers aren't far from your own.



Out of curiosity, did you remove the sound deadening material from the underside of your bonnet?

Only to wax it, then I put it back on.



Just didnt feel right knowing it was dirty under it:o



TDI's are the future :xyxthumbs
 
I could be wrong but I thought they came stock 100bhp/177lb/ft



My bud has the 04 which is a pump duse version and thats his power output :confused:



I know the MKV gets a bump to the numbers you have listed, but its a 2.0TDI. You have an MKIV, what did I miss :confused:



Not bashing, just curious, I didnt think the UK versions got anything different than us and as far as I know the 150hp/282lb/ft version is the 2.0TDI that will come in the MKV.
 
the 2.0L Euro engine is putting out 140hp in EuroIV emissions trim for the MkV Golf...don't recall the torque rating.



I suspect bmx's car is a PD150 with a few tweaks ;)



I'm not certain the MkV cars are going to have all the engine iterations that have previously existed.



The NAmerican 2.0L 8V PD engine is putting out 134 hp with 240lb*ft, IIRC. The 100hp/177lb*ft ratings are correct for the NAmerican 1.9L PD engine.

Our diesels always receive some 'de-tuning' due to the poorer quality of diesel fuel in North America. Same thing happened with the Touareg's V10.
 
Hey guys,



My PD150 is totaly stock apart from an aftermarket pannel airfilter, but that will all chnage in jan/feb when the ecu is remapped, then were gona be talking around 230bhp/375lb, now that will be fun :D . I cant wait to shame some boxster drivers :cool:





You'll find that all PD engined cars do actualy come with more power than is listed down by VW, 7 alot of PD130's actulay pump out around 140bhp

:up
