just test driven a mk4 gt tdi....felt gutless as compared to a mk3 1.9 tdi...chipped to 110. are they slow or is this one duff?
The 90 bhp version is deathly slow but I would have though the 110 was a bit better. I suppose it also depends if by "chipped" you mean a tuning box type thingy as there's no guarantee the car was at 90bhp initially so no guarantee it's 110 now.
chances are it's just tired, not hittiong full boost & worn MAF, even so that are only 110BHP is a heavey chassis
My Bora TDI 110 is pretty quick, certainly not gutless. However, it's still booked in for a 145bhp/245lb/ft torque remap in a couple of weeks so make of that what you will...
the mark 3 had a tuning box plugged in. the mk4 has just had a new clutch...just doesnt seem to be running full turbo boost
My other halfs Mk5 TDi (1.9 105hp version) gives my Mk3 8v a run for it's money up until about 50-55mph, these diesels arent as slow as people think. my old pug 406TD on the other hand, with the old old 90hp engine is DEADLY slow
