Toms306s Project - Fodge!

[Eeyore]

I don't have money to waste like you do lol.....to swap from nad is gonna be like extra 450 quid as it is....

So keeping the nad won't even be possible when I properly swap the golf on. Fed up of lack of money tbh.

[THE_Liam]

Same here on the money thing mate, I need to get rid of the VRS for a nice, economical HDI/XUD before it bankrupts me. The wishbone bushes are just starting to knock, I priced them up at nearly £100... That wouldn't even be £20 for a 306, the insurance is £150 a month, my rent has gone up, the washing machine a couple of weeks back and I still haven't got one and to top it off, there might be another mouth to feed in 9 months...

Being skint is shit

[Toms306]

So I'm sure you're all as eager to know the rolling road results as I was..................but don't be.............really!



Heres the graph...........I was told that although the revs read wrong, the power is accurate........then I noticed that I only have 70Nm of torque......and I'm only losing 9bhp through the tranny!? hock: So yeah doesn't seem to be too accurate to me, can't say whether the powers accurate or not though.



Also...the second run I tried I was only getting 30 WHP at 2.5k rpm.......so did it go in to limp mode?? :? Either way, there was a stored overboost/boost control code which I cleared and it didn't come back after a good rag, so possibly an old code from the old turbo....but that doesnt explain the 30hp then lol.... Btw, I felt no loss of power when actually driving it, but obv couldnt tell on the rolling road as driving feels weird enough on that anyway lol.

No time for another run so thats it really. But I have just had a very nice offer of a rolling session after posting on another forum from the guy selling the maps so he's clearly sure it should be making more....

Oh and my tutor decided to add to my dissapointment by writing in the soot I left behind. :roll:

[THE_Liam]

Still want to put it up against the Octavia?

[Toms306]

Still want to put it up against the Octavia?

On this dyno?.....Yes!

[THE_Liam]

On this dyno?.....Yes!

So what your saying is your Golf made about the same power that most 130s do with a remap? Must be the dyno then eh?

[Toms306]

On this dyno?.....Yes!

So what your saying is your Golf made about the same power that most 130s do with a remap? Must be the dyno then eh?

It made 70nm of torque though.....my wheel bolts have more torque than that....its clearly not accurate is it. plus I should be losing a lot more power through the gearbox, so I'm pretty sure the power isn't accurate tbh.

[Eeyore]

you didnt have to pay for that run did you? D:

[Toms306]

you didnt have to pay for that run did you? D:

No of course not! I did it myself and the college had the dyno donated to them....so there's nothing that needed paying for.

If I can find a decent local one do you want a dyno run too? :think:

[cully]

:

they have to pay for it to be calabrated! or your just pissing in the wind reading those figures if its not calabrated

oh and you can get any figure you want from a dyno depending on the settings you use
so maybe most of the figures comes down to the inexperianced dyno operator!

[DaveW]

Prob get more accurate figures off a phone app!

[procta]

get another place to dyno it tom or see about a golf meet doing a dyno. but with what you said before about it been bedded in at 1k id have say you should wait another few more k just to be sure.

Wait longer?? It'll be broken again before then!

Seriosuly though, think theres a boost leak somewhere now as theres quite a bit of on boost smoke (nothing like when the turbo went though!).

But, bad news is after tomorow it's no longer insured....and it doesn't look I can insure it anyway. So dunno what to do now, might try sell it as it is, might put some standard parts back on and sell it....might see if I can swap it for a standard PD150 (makes sense as I already have parts to swap onto another golf/A3/Leon before I get the 'buy a hdi' comments).

Otherwise.....well....if it doesn't sell well and leaves me very out of pocket then I might be looking at HDi's....sigh.

Whatever it is NEEDS - High spec, at least 125bhp, diesel (sigh), cheap tax, 60mpg...................but I'll just use the NAD for now (yet another sigh ).

[Eeyore]

what you described above is a 306 hdi tom! Just get one already! Yeh i would find a local rollers to go with you on but ill be getting mine done at FCS

[stevobeavo]

So what your saying is your Golf made about the same power that most 130s do with a remap? Must be the dyno then eh?

Lol some make that power as standard

Just buy a diesel 306 Tom. you know you want to.

[Toms306]

Hmm.....two months without an update on this lol. Its for sale if anyones interested..............pahaha, like anyone on here would be interested.

[Alee83]

Nobody wants a Vag.....

[Toms306]

Well, hopefully someone will lol.

[Tom]

I might be.... Buts i swear you said it wasnt cheap? which rules me out lol

[Toms306]

It won't be cheap....find another top spec, 5 door GT tdi real tidy bodywork, with 130k, full vw service history and all the mods too. It owes me over 3500 quid as it stands (inc wheels, towbar, power mods).....so I'll lose out whatever happens...obviously I want to lose as little as possible though.

But it has a broken DMF does it not? So surely its worth no where near that?

[C.A.R.]

I was looking at Golfs a while ago Tom, I'd say you've way overvalued your car there! What it owes you and what it's worth are quite different! You could get 02 plate gt tdi 130s with less than 100k on for around the £3k mark, what reg is yours?

Exactly this. You can spend what you like on the car but at the end of the day you will only fetch market value + maybe a little extra depending what you've done (people pay more for 12m mot and tax etc). Spending tonnes of money then expecting it to be worth the market value + what you've spent just never works sadly

[Toms306]

It's a 52 plate....and I haven't valued it at all yet so how can I have overvalued it lol? I said what it owes me, I know I won't get that back.

Apparently I'm just having hypo-car-ndria about the dmf, I've been told its not broken and I'm imagining it lol.

I don't know whether or not to remove mods and sell eeperately yet, if I do....I'll be looking for around 2500 ish.....if I sell with mods, a bit more obv.

How about this.. a custom built 6 and a mcflurry

[Toms306]

Well, I don't like ice cream, but If I could afford to fuel a'6....hell yes. Unfortunately I can't.

[Toms306]

So erm, you know how cams are usually cam shaped like the one below, usually with a little less filings hanging off....

   

Yeah umm, the far right one is more egg shaped!

   

But on a serious note, with that much wear, and the huge dent in the lifter, the exhaust valve barely opens, litteraly a couple of mm max! Guessing that's the main problem lol.

[Pugmarshall]

What engine is it? I thought the 150's have crap cams?

[Toms306]

Clearly 130s do as well!

It's actually the same part, but the 150s work it harder so they wear quicker.....that is until you're pushing mote than 150bhp through a 130.
