I just got a banger diesel golf!!

[Jon_nova1]

How many other people have them?lol

One problem that concerns me...or rather appears to stop me getting any decent power from the 1.9TDI lump is the fact the engine doesn't rev until the throttle body?? is half open anywhere between closed and half open does nothing, anyone any ideas?:confused:

[MK999]

Diesels dont run a throttle body, brain **** or what? :p lol

[Sloth]

they have vaccuum controlled butterflys on em iirc.

this is how i got my patrol to go tish lol

[Jon_nova1]

I've never had a diesel in my life, thats why i put a question mark after the throttle body, because i didn't know the name of it lol

so does anyone have an idea?? or are you all going to pick on my lack of diesel knowledge lol

[John]

umwelt shoite? (mk3 golf?) if so don't expect any performance at all, ever, fullstop.

[Sloth]

pics of said goof, and its bay. i have a reasonable old vag knowlege. but its the same as any derv, wind fuel and boost up, and enjoy. i had a mk3 estate once, wound the fuel up, fitted a later 150bhp turbo and a big ic and it was hilarious...

[mowgli]

put the engine code up on here, i might be offering you money for it.. our 2002 caddy met a huge puddle the other week

edit.....not the same code

[Jon_nova1]

lol i can't sell the engine anyway, the cars got to get me 20 miles to work, it drives...but only when you press the accelerator over halfway lol

[Sloth]

just wedge the butterfly open or snapo the butterfly off.

[Sloth]

[Sloth]
