You clearly don't know my opinion mister BB,but it has been some time since you popped up merely to knock my opinion,i missed you x
If you do a search on my posts you will see post by me saying that golfs are overrated to a certain extent and why i think the are overrated,i was in fact making the point that all manufacturers "wind" their cars back some what before releasing them to the open market,it is simple common sense really.
No car goes forever,but a well maintained modern diesel weather it be a HDI.TDI,TDCI or SDI should be easily capable of churning out over 300k if looked after right,the key term being looked after.
Your last quote doubting the claims of tuning companies just shows how ill informed you are,there are countless reputable tuning companies that will stand by their claims and do stand by their claims,do you think established companies like Revo,upsolute etc are bringing customers cars in hooking up them up to the laptop whistling for 40 minutes and then telling their customers that thier car is know putting out 30% more power with a wave of the hand in a jedi mind trick style!
"your car is now 30% more powerful" 1,2,3 you are back in the room
My old TDI golf was 100bhp as supplied by the mhighty (in a farmers accent) VW,i brought it to a reputable mapper he did his things and told me it was now 130bhp,he didn't click his fingers or trick me in anyway,i brought the car to westward engineering in Enfield a dyno of unquestionable reputation and i got a lovely print out telling me and showing me the power and power graph of my car,the amount of porsches,lambos and scoobies i left for dead in that humble 130 golf was unreal one day i burnt past a whole row of parked up lambos they didn't stand a chance::D
I jest i jest,some people aren't the brightest and would think i was serious - god forbid, some folk need brain remaps!
Anyway that golf has now been sold on but last time i checked with the new owner it is still running like clock work,putting out nearly 30% extra power over 70k later,to be honest the remap money was the best money i ever spent on it as the 100pd was as dull as dishwater before hand.
Did I not say that I doubted the benifits of SOME tuning companies. Not all of them. I also have an idea about maintaining diesel engines. I'm a plant fitter (not the leafy type) by trade. I hook engines up to laptops on a near daily basis , but I stay within the manafacturers parameters when setting them up to run.0 -
