Re: Syncro 1z TDI power plateau ?

The 1.9 TDI mk3 golf holds 4.5l ...
The syncro conversion with the JX sump either holds less or due to a slight incline of the way it mounts doesn't drain to empty.
So after filling with 4.5 we removed 0.5 ...

Re: Syncro 1z TDI power plateau ?

So... finally hope and think that this is now sorted !!! As rediculas as it might sound, I think yat it was all down to an over fill of oil. Had my oil changed and the guy who lives and dies diesel VW's knows that a golf oil change needs 4.5 litres .. after fitting a new filter and putting in the 4....

Re: Hello from newby, and pop-top guidance request

I have a syncro westy pop top. Had it for 14 years now, and if I'm brutally honest camping in this country with a pop top is a pain!!! I have a gowesty rainfly to help with the elements but it's a pain really. I'm sure that there are benifits with a pop over a hightop but for camping here it's the w...

Re: Syncro 1z TDI power plateau ?

Are you using the original 1Z inlet and exhaust manifolds? The JX ones are restrictive and the CS even more so which is why I used the 1Y inlet and exhaust so that the engine could breathe easily. Thanks Mr O .... pretty sure all is standard, also sure it wasn't like this when I first had it done. ...

Re: Syncro 1z TDI power plateau ?

Had similar on mine, 1.9 1Y, it turned out to be rubber intake hose collapsing under load/heavy throttle when climbing hills. Have you tried, if it's possible, running it briefly without the snorkel, up a hil,l and see if makes any difference. Might be worth a try? Thanks for the input ..... it's a...

Syncro 1z TDI power plateau ?

my TDI conversion which has been in for the last 3 years has an annoying governor feeling to it, pulling up a hill all is great until I hit 2600 ish revs with a fair amount of throttle peddle. I can prevent the feeling by reducing the amount of throttle. It pulls strong building power well then as s...

Steering issues

My once 2.1 14" syncro with factory power steering (LHD) has suddenly gone wonky!!
No fluid lost but it feels like l have a flat tyre, it also feels like I have to straighten the wheel myself rather than it returning by itself .... any suggestions????

Re: Heater fan problem

The heater fan on our T25 has just packed up. I have heard that it is an epic job! We are based in Cornwall. Does anyone recommend someone who could fix it for us for a reasonable price? I think it is probably beyond the average DIY mechanic!

Cheers
