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...

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!
