280HP VW Golf MK1 TDI // REVIEW goes WRONG on AUTOBAHN!

You know you are in for a crazy ride when your speedometer behaves like a pendulum.

[@rickjames6867]

120 in this thing is hilarious. Very sketchy.

[@mysock351C]

Classic old car problem lol. Older speedos used eddy currents which basically was some magnets spinning around in a metal cup with a clock spring connected to the needle in the dash. Problem is the cable from the trans gets all gunky and worn after a while, which causes it to bounce like that. So bad in some cars that the needle will literally break off.

[@napraznicul]

Probably it's STOCK golf 1 speedo, which works using A CABLE coming from engine compartment. Is not precise or even reliable system.

[@mysock351C]

@@napraznicul Some of the bouncing could be simply down to how the cable is routed with the new swap. Has to be a fairly straight shot in or it will bind if there are too many twists and turns. I have a car that is getting close to 40 years old that still has its original cable drive. They are fairly reliable for the most part, and can be accurate if the spring tension is set correctly.

Some comments for the owner having had a 220hp g60 MK1. Be very careful with the windshield above 200kmh because it's held by rubber, not glue. It will come out at some point which doesn't need explanation how dangerous it is. The hoses and pipes. Hoses came loose on my MK1 as wel a few times. What helps is to rough up the surface of the shiny pipe where the hose goes. Use sandpaper and use double clamps instead of just one, then it will hold. And try to find another hose because your right 90degree one is jamming the flow. Pretty sure you already know this since its clearly visible. And last but not least check the basics... if wheel alignment is off you may face some unexpected behavior, with this kind of power and speeds I wouldn't take any risks. Such a cool car and wish you lots of fun with it. Please be careful and stay safe.🤙

[@agooodolecoder]

[@R8andGT3Fan]

[@giuliettaevo]

The windshield being mounted in a rubber is no problem. You do need to check your windscreen to see if you have a laminated type. The older ones usually have a hardened windshield and that can shatter into your face... The laminated type cracks but stays together.

At 1:54 you can clearly see the squashed air hose going out of the intercooler which is probably the main reason you are loosing boost.

You need a longer hose and the pipe should be shorter then the problem is solved. Translate: Aangezien de eigenaar toch NL is dan maar zo, De motor kantelt en aangezien de buis te lang is en de slang tekort is waardoor er teveel spanning op staat klapt deze eraf wanneer de max boost bereikt word.

[@cemsarioglu5947]

Black smoke? Not for me. Fun car but they can build it without black smoke. We have those modded TDI engines here in Istanbul. And without that black smoke of course.

[@rafa_vsky]

As far as I'm aware, black smoke is to cooldown exhaust gases. Which are a big issue on these high powered diesel engines. You can run it without smoke your just prone to kill your engine faster. Or use metanol to reduce temperatures as well... But... That's just too expensive... Needs setups and what not.

[@DaveSpecC]

@@rafa_vsky overfueling can actually causes increased EGTs, but when running big power it seems safer to have too much fuel than not enough. shame people who plough money into diesels never bother with a decent ECU and run switchable maps.

[@wobllle6526]

Yea true. For me it just ruins the whole car to see that cloud of black smoke behind it. It's just lazy and cheap ECU tuning.

It's not about clamp, is about the end of that pipe which has no "bumpy border" to lock that hose and the clamp on it. I run an 1.9tdi 260bhp from 5years ago, daily and is AWD torsen AND heavy (1550kg), so it make that 2.3bar each time in 3rd, 4th and 5th, but never any hose jump, and i have A LOT of links of pipes-hoses there. ALSO he engineered that intake .. not ideal, with way to many fast flow pipes wich came directly in 90° turning - there always will be a weak point and no very efficient design either.

[@rafa_vsky]

​​@@emanuelmorosan622you can make smoke if you want. Just ask your tunner. Black smoke is unburned fuel, and usually on this high hp diesel engines they need to run rich to keep lower exhaust temps. This also means that with smoke you'll spend more fuel obviously. I have a golf 4 3 door 1.9tdi pd100 with roughly 150hp. Love that thing.

Smoke is the best thing. I modified my Diesel to have smoke on purpose. Its way more fun

[@memorimusic420]

Its an old(er) diesel 😂 thats part of the fun

[@rafa_vsky]

So basically, diesel engines tend to run higher exhaust temps, especially with this kinda power. Which is not good. One way to make em temperatures drop, is by running a rich mixture, meaning unburned fuel, which means black smoke. Or you can reduce power, or you can run it without smoke, and your engine'll just break earlier. Or you can yet use metanol injection. But that all requires a complete build. Which some just doesn't think it's viable

[@giuliettaevo]

​@@rafa_vsky in a diesel when you add fuel you get higher egt... They usually add too much fuel in the lower rev range to get the turbo to spool better/faster. After that the smoke should disappear to get a good afr and not too high egt. Excess fueling and smoke means power is being lost.
