Re: Diagnosing coolant loss on a golf 7 2.0 TDi
Quite a big difference hey, feel sorry for the tyres lol. I did ask for a map to keep the delivery as close to stock as possible, feels stock when driving decently, but really wakes up when smashing it. Still adapting and going to get the cat and dpf out, will see if that makes any more difference to the power delivery

Re: Diagnosing coolant loss on a golf 7 2.0 TDi
So far so good, have noticed a change in the way the exhaust fumes smell as well - doesnt have the hint of coolant smell any longer - I hope this isnt just my mind playing games on me'. Anyway have to drive for atleast 1000kms to know that i've had some success, its only been about 300kms thus far.
The car is booked in on Monday for DPF and CAT delete. Replacing with 76mm downpipe. Turns out getting the DPF and CAT off on this car is quite a mission due to space constraints so will need atleast 2-3 days at the exhaust shop for this to get done. Hope all goes well
seeing as i was going to get the software and the downpipe done I was interested to see what gains would be had. I had a stock dyno run so i could guage the increase as well as power delivery.
Car is rate at 110kw from factory so either this Dyno is reading at the fly, or VW have their figures under quoted. Made 110kw at Rally Cross Motors in Durban - which I think is a wheel power dyno???
Will do another run after the pipe is in and i'm certain that the coolant problem has been fixed.

Re: Diagnosing coolant loss on a golf 7 2.0 TDi
Seems like it, anyway the intention was more to get the shape of the graph and a base reading for gains as opposed to peak figures

Re: Diagnosing coolant loss on a golf 7 2.0 TDi
Need to start the run at 1500 rpm not 2000. no good on diesels as you can't see the initial torque rise.

Re: Diagnosing coolant loss on a golf 7 2.0 TDi
Don't know what gearbox, but 3 for a 5 speed, 4th for a six speed and 5 for a 7 speed. But gear makes no difference if the engine is loading ok.

Re: Diagnosing coolant loss on a golf 7 2.0 TDi
Coolant issue sorted now? When the stock turbo on my ex-Jetta 5 TDI exploded, I opted to fit the Sportline turbo. After @Dieter spent almost 40 minutes trying to remove the EGR cooler, we decided it's not going back on.. LOL. I also then opted to delete the EGR and throttle body to replace with a race pipe straight to intake. Software was needed to code all out, but in the end, less oil and coolant issue to worry about, car still running strong about 40,000k's later.

Reaching the clamps to by pass the EGR cooler was a mission, especially working with jack stands, but I made a planPik Sooter wrote: ↑Wed Apr 24, 2019 4:21 pm Coolant issue sorted now?

Yes it seems to have been sorted. Downpipe is in as well and she is going very nicely
