Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

Off topic
I know it's off topic
but the Golf TDI does ~ 1800rpm @ 100kph in 6th and ~ 2000rpm @ 110kph. The turbo isn't really on boost until 1750rpm so you have to drop a gear to get any oomph....

Similar to a MK4 GTI, mine does about 3k at 110 and 2700ish at 100kph.Comment

VW: it aint just a car, its a way of life
There are few things more satisfying in life than finding a solution to a problem and implementing it

The funny thing was half way through the drive she asked me what i like more about the swift than the polo and the car was silent......... I just couldnt think of anything. Honestly unless there was some very very good reason why you needed a 5 door hatch you would have to be crazy to buy it.Comment

I am driving the 81 GLI cabrio while my GTI is having a touch up at the moment. At 100 km/h its doing 2,400 RPM in 5th gear. Not much above idle. Definately worth fitting a 5 speed to mk 1s.

Well gtigrl I have done a lot of driving in my day [ started when I was 7 & went thru 8 cars before I had a license & later had semi-trailers ] I found that I wasn't doing the speed what the speedo said. I had it checked & found it to be 9% over read. Asked VW Aust & they said that they allow 10%, I told them that after some tyre wear that it would be, THEY would not me answer on this point.

Just used a GPS to check mine and with the speedo reading 100kph the GPS was saying 93! To do 110 as per the GPS I need a speedo reading of a 119!Comment
