Title: Anyone had any problems with acceleration over 100mph
Post by: jhook661 on January 27, 2015, 06:35:37 pm: Hi all I've been trying to find out what's up with my golf recently when I give it all when it comes to 100mph it struggles all the way too 130 mph then that's it ? :(
I know the golf has a speed limiter on it to 155mph as standard
I got Revo stage 1 with gfb dv+
Milltek cat back
And Revo intake
Revo said to me I may have cracked turbo housing anyone had this before ?

Post by: dansmith180 on January 27, 2015, 07:02:37 pm: Sounds like some sort of boost leak. It should pull hard At that point

Post by: samiul11 on January 27, 2015, 07:26:39 pm: Should pull like a train even after 100mph :signLOL:

Post by: th3_f15t on January 27, 2015, 08:11:48 pm: Check you intake pipes from the intercooler and also the GFB DV+, as these have been reported to leak boost.

Post by: jhook661 on January 27, 2015, 09:34:24 pm: Should I go for dionoistics and smoke test and rolling road ? Maybe buy a boost gauge to see a significant loss of boost might be the hpfp perhaps it's weird because it pulls up to 100mph then after that it doesn't seem lively at all :(

Post by: GrayMK5GTI on January 28, 2015, 07:10:39 am: Red Robin on here cracked his turbo, seen a few others go too. Only seems to be K03 turbos cracking.

VCDS logging would show requested boost vs actual. Maybe a local forum member could help you out? See the VCDS register

Post by: ROH ECHT on February 05, 2015, 10:48:58 am: Yes it is daytime running lights, but I have my fogs set to run as the DRL's.

Post by: GTiBlues on February 05, 2015, 07:00:03 pm: I got to a 167 racing a motorcycle and a S3. Ever since then I can't go above 80 because I get a horrible knocking vibration through the car and steering wheel under acceleration. Indicates a CV joint has gone.

On topic, it must be boost related surely? or a fuel starvation?

Yes exactly that, is it as simple to do as the usa drls. Id prefer the fogs as drls as the indicators illuminated on stock halogens dont appeal to me
