would like to know if there was something that was causing the car to have a fairly poor performance though =(
#17: Re: gti's 0-60 not too good. Author: Seabook, Posted: Thu Mar 10, 2011 3:46 pm ---- are you sure you got a Gti? not just a 1.1 with a gti badge?

Although you seemed to change up into third at you hit 60. Might have been even quicker if you pushed it nearer the limiter.
As for the OP's time. What were the conditions? Dry gripy road, dead flat, coldish? Also how did you measure the time? on a proper recorder fitted to the car or by eye and a stopwatch? Very difficult to get an accurate time even with a video.

#21: Re: gti's 0-60 not too good. Author: scottsgti, Location: ramsgatePosted: Thu Mar 10, 2011 4:56 pm ---- yeah was on a dead flat road, at about 10 - 11 at night, so it was pretty cold. tires are basically new tbh. recorded with a stop watch. so may be abit out.. jus doesnt feel quick, used to have a vw polo 6n, 1.6 8v and that didnt seem any slower in all honesly and they only have about 70 - 75bhp :S
#22: Re: gti's 0-60 not too good. Author: Seabook, Posted: Thu Mar 10, 2011 5:13 pm ---- it is hard to figure out why it is slow.
a good service is always a good start.
hook it up to a computer to check if there is any fault code.
check all the exhaust joint, clean the throttle body, check compression, rail pressure.
there is so many things would affect power, without further detail we are just talk s*** really
