2001 Volkswagen Golf TDI - Diesel Grven
Volkswagen TDI Tuner CarAt first glance you might wonder what a compact car with 19-inch rims, custom paint, and a lowered suspension is doing in Diesel Power. Rest assured that you haven't picked up Import Tuner by mistake. Although you can't hear the clatter through the pages, the Volkswagen shown here represents pure diesel performance. Ben Swain's '01 Golf features a 1.9L TDI engine that came from the factory with 90 hp at 3,750 rpm and 155 lb-ft of torque at 1,900 rpm. You aren't going to pull your fifth-wheel trailer with that meager power, but it will move a 2,800-pound car along with ease. Ben is a shrewd businessman and has owned scores of cars over the years-and he never loses money on them. The Golf was no different; he purchased the vehicle recently for pennies on the dollar after the previous owner modified just about every aspect of the car.

2002 vw golf tdi sluggish throttle
My golf all of a sudden stopped accelerating sharply. I revs up alright but has a slight delay at the top before revs fall. Like it has air in system. It happened right after I replaced the brake light switch. My wife was driving. she said it just lost power and the eccelerator wasn't working. After I got it ,it would run alright but pedal was spongy. It still has plenty of power. but revs hang. any clues on why? 84000 miles I've had it scanned with no issues showing up.
