Re: TDi top speed
I have taken mine up to 145 with decent power and still feels like it wants to accelerate more....
Road conditions weren't perfect and I had a passenger so I didn't want to risk going higher. -
Re: TDi top speed
something ain't right...in my dads TDI Jetta I've been up to 180kmh....and it was still pulling like a mofo. Of course this was ahem under closed track conditions.
Is your MAF ok?? I used to have the same problem back when my MAF was no good, couldn't get past 140ish if it was a life or death situation.Last edited by nismodrifter; 08-23-2005, 07:52 PM.Comment

Re: TDi top speed
Ive had mine up around 200km, closed track of coarse
but I have ran in to the limp mode situation when its hot out and im pushing the car. It is chipped so this may help a bit.

Re: TDi top speed
245 km/h for 15 minutes.
Tach readings suggested true speed was around 235-ish. Used an obscene amount of gas.
Made it from McKenzie Towne to Lethbridge in 72 minutes. On a closed sanctioned McKenzie Towne to Lethbridge simulated track of course.
Oh, y'all were asking about TDI's. Just ignore this then.

Well ive got up to 180 as well, but the car isn't "Pulling like a mofo' per se, you're basically out of turbo at that point (I think its about4k rpm at 180) so its pretty sluggish, but 145 shouldnt be a problem, thats like...average highway crusin speed :PREAL men use harsh language as self-defense

180 for me, but had to stop rather abruptly for a deerThe world has but three sports, Bullfighting, Mountain Climbing, and Motor Racing. All the rest are merely games - Ernest Hemingway.Comment

Re: TDi top speed
I would suspect that some larger tires to give taller gearing would help out quite a bit. I can't see the TDI running out of steam due a larger wheel circumference.
Too bad changing final drive gears is such a huge chore on FWD cars.Comment
