  • RPM @ 100kmph

    I am just curious as what the Revs are when driving on the Highway. I can't remember. Thank you.

      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.

          Cool thanks for that. Just for Ships and giggles i test drove the Suzuki Swift Sport. It sat around the 3500 when at 100. Boy that car sucked.

                  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.

                      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.

                        I was told by a salesman that 200 limited 3door golf GTI's coming late in the year.

                          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.
                          Whoroo.

                            Yeah not that the road side speed checks are accurate but one I have been through registered my 100k at 92k..

                              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!
