Should a G7 GTi do this to me

To be honest I am not worried about cars pulling away from me. In fact if I do mod I will be wasting my money as I don't race. Once in a while I do get the urge to play a bit but that is few and far between.

I mostly sit in the middle lane in the N1 doing 100 - 110 km/hr. Since I got the 335i nearly two years ago I got my first fine a month ago - 70 in a 60 zone.

When I thought the GTi was a stock G7 I was worried that there is something wrong with my car. So more my paranoia that I have a fault than someone being faster.

Stock G7s I kill them its not even funny, then one day I had G7 on the highway pull up next to me he ran ahead of me but my fender was at his front door, I was surprised how well it ran, back then I had no downpipe though. With some mods they will take out a 335i

This one time at band camp....:roflol:

OP, you worried for nothing.

It might beat you in a straight line, but a BMW corners like a boss.

You also have more luxury, more comfort, more packing space, more safety...

you haven't driven a 6 or 7R around the twisties... more accomplished than you give it credit however not as ëventfull as a BMW...

The question is, do you want to be faster by time or pleasurable as an experience?

I do believe your car isn't as healthy as it should be, you said your break pedal is hard in the morning which implies that you have a vacuum leak, its this same vacuum pipes run your boost control as well which can give you that "non responsive" moment when you plant the accelerator pedal. The n54 is renowned for it responsiveness and what you telling us is counter what the car should be like.

No way that car wasn't stock, either that or as you said, your car might be unhealthy, but it would have to be pretty damn unhealthy to be in that situation - 335i is no slouch so I'm sure you'd notice the deficit if it was there.

I've had no issue with them in my 330d (before the mods).

supposed to be 162 kw Fly

 

[bilal04]

the g7 gti does put down power very well, but on the highway to keep up with a 335 mus be modded

 

[Xack]

Think we confirmed that's it's modded

Vw diesels also supposed to be producing less than 100g/km co2... Dont believe everything you read.

Some G7's are putting out 240kw, 500nm+ with software...Modded R's are doing in the 280-300kw mark now so these golfs aren't playing around.

 

[individj]

hahahaha

well to be honest that power figure is even with better fuel. I can't believe it pushes out over 180kw on the fly stock

Have to agree with Kish, these cars are very credible, and respond to Mod's very well...However it boils down to personal preference...do you want to be a passenger in a car, or do you want the experience of actually driving

Sorry for the hijack


Hi Kish

would you mind elaborating a bit more into detail with regards to the vacuum leaks using the same system as the brakes? My brakes feel as if the need to be bled which I will do but I would not mind replacing the necessary vacuum lines related as well.

thanks

This is what I am thinking as well. I know when I just got the car that sport mode was maniac and the first time I tried it I thought that's too much for me. I was thinking of changing all the vacuum pipes as a preventative measure.

The car just does not feel as responsive as it used to be. There is also very slight jerking when accelerating from standstill. Could be the slightest of misfire. Here I think I need to take the car for a carbon clean.

Will it help if I buy one of those Bluetooth OBDII dongles i.e will it be able to pick up boost issues or any other faults or are they just "toys"?
