I must be getting miserable but I find the exhaust smog really obnoxious.
I'm afraid I agree. It's just really unpleasant and anti social. I'm no environmentalist, but this "rolling coal" thing should be clamped down on heavily.
k you' attitude. I love the car, sound and boost noise so not a 'hater' but the smoke is awful and ruins everything you're trying to achieve with the car.Tbh I hope the old bill pull you over as you shouldnt be running like that on the road.

8000rpm. i think not. It ain't even gonna go past 5500. There's also precisely zero chance of it making a real 550bhp.
Why is that? Plenty of VW diesels have been modded to run that kind of RPM.
Not so much on common rail modern stuff but the older injection pump type diesels it's not uncommon.
Is it a fake 550bhp? Or are diesels just not very fast.

O/T sorry OP but how can that be a G reg mk1 Golf?
My money would be on it being an import from South Africa, where the MK1 lived on for a long time in the guise of the "Citi Golf" That said...
NOT a Citi Golf, NOT an import, NOT the wrong plate

You need an element of smoke when mapping a diesel. It's always better to inject a tad more fuel than you specifically need.
However thick black clouds of smoke aren't ideal. Mine doesn't really kick any smoke out at all unless I've been pootling around for a few hours and then plant it in 2nd.
Why is it ideal to inject a tad more than you need? I know in older petrol turbos this was done to get some evap cooling on the hot side valves. But in a diesel the temperatures are no where near as hot (and if they are hot you're generally burning all the fuel and producing little PM and a boat load of NOx).

Diesel stoichiometric ratio is the same as petrol, but if you run that AFR it will smoke heaps.Diesels run lean to reduce particulates.
Nothings been really happening. Ive been driving the car regularly.
Yes, it is advertised for sale, priorities and all that. But id rather keep it in all honesty. Id deffo have one again so it seems a bit daft to get rid now - it was my childhood dream!
The car has started to feel a bit wandery up the front end, hardly suprised considering all the suspension is standard.
So its coming off the road over winter for a few tweeks to be made, dependant on how funds allow. Its going to be a long project...

When you stripped the failed engine did you notice evidence of bore score on all cylinders? I imagine bore wash would be a major concern on this car.
Also, given the amount of fuel you're chucking into the cylinders, do you get oil dilution? Imagine the smoke you'd see when this thing runs away!

I didnt take the failed engine apart. Looked down the intake and could see the piston in the valves! Also, given the amount of fuel you're chucking into the cylinders, do you get oil dilution? Imagine the smoke you'd see when this thing runs away!
Never heard of bore wash being an issue on these, or had an issue with dilution.
These dieselmeken pumps have never had a runaway, but with the lift pump id just turn the car off, soon run out of diesel lol

Diesel runaway is when they start burning their sump oil. Turning off the fuel won't help. Never heard of bore wash being an issue on these, or had an issue with dilution.
