Jordans Golf 1.8T

Sooo was getting a little bored with the diesel but loved the fact it was a golf so after lots of searches for a new diesel and nothing found i bit the bullet and went for something more fun

i came back with a Golf 1.8t 3door
AGU 150bhp

heres how i picked it up
genuine r32 front bumper
hideous rear exhaust
steel wheels
6month tax
12month mot





first thing i did was swapped over my rear lights


then de-badged


i also removed the front silver gill and replaced it with my black grill off the diesel



theres lots more to do :
fit my alloys and spacers
boost gauge
cold air feed
de-wiper
the list goes on

carbon fiber wrapped my rear badge

Yessss ;-) I hear you want some 312mm calipers n carriers?

Oh and to answer to the question in my Passat thread, I can only think of one or two things that would transfer from mine to yours, a cone filter which should be the right size for your MAF sensor, and the Forge 007p diverter valve but I'd put a stronger spring in it and its a pain to get to.

Awesome mate, new car looks well, suppose you have more potential in the petrol turbo look forward to seeing it sometime!

thanks

Jason

Yeah I am after some bigger brakes but just orderd a Decatt down pipe so better get saving again lol

N how much u after for the 007p mines been blocked off and got a bailey dv26 on it :/ sounds good but not to sure on performance with it fitted

N cheers Jason I do think there is more potential but think most I'll push it is a ko3s turbo aim to make it a Scooby eater and I'll be happy

Deffo get rid of the dump and get a diverter, i fitted a cone filter to mine and it sounded like this anyway.....

Im leaving stuff on it dude I'd prefer to sell it as it is now. (if i ever sell it )

I love the sound of the bailey

To fit the 007p or equivalent I will need all the oem parts again as theyve all been blocked off So keeping my eyes pealed at the scrappy

Did the passat have a ko3s turbo ?

I'm not sure mines running 100% seems very laggy and big flat spot till around 3k revs Then it pics up :/

I no im late but

Nice car mate was looking at one of these the other week
I like the way they drive and the nice lump of boost when the turbo comes in

How much are u wanting for it

mine was very flat to start with (150bhp in a heavy car coming from 160bhp in a pretty light car) but i dont think it was as bad as that, got any fault codes or anything?

Yeah I'd fitted what some would call a K03s on the passat (was the turbo for the 190bhp Audi A4 BEX engine code), mounts different to the transverse engine though, hence not really having anything for you, and also the piperwork for even the re-circ/diverter valve is different.

James I'll message you, dont wanna clog someone elses thread

Thanks james And yeah i like how smooth it feels to drive supprisinly better than the diesel


No fault codes but just changed the temp sensor as that was causing a bouncy idle Seems a lot better now

Yeah I thought the passat was slightly different , I'm on the look out for a ko3s

Just ordered some

JOM coilovers and a 3inch down pipe Decat

Fitted a cold air feed pipe too try get it to breath better lol

I can get hold of brand new turbos but only oem (hence mine being the Audi one) so if you know of something which has it fitted standard and is a straight fit for yours I could have a nosey price wise, possibly an A3 or Mk4 Anniversary with the 180bhp standard Polo 9n3 GTI? Some turbos are a fortune though. But I'd always rather buy from a reliable source than say a 300 quid chocolate one from ebay which will sh*t its guts eventually meaning engine re-build lol.

The de-cat will make a noticable difference btw, feels much free'er at the top end. Get a stage 1 map for now though if it hasnt already, and add all the other bits later :-)

down pipe arrived friday and got it fitted today

on the down side i need a new water pump coolant is boiling in the expansion tank after 2mins of driving so of to the garage tuesday for new water pump and a gear box mount too

erm the k03s turbo is fitted to the golf gti with engine code AUM 2001 onwards

Nice lookin car a big step up from the previous car i like nice shiny down pipe im sure there's a lot to come in the future

I'll have a nosey at work for the turbo if I remember mate, may be a decent price, may be a fortune but its worth a look either way. Was going to say hows the decat feel but I suppose youve not had much of a play because of the problem.

You doin the timing belt aswell? If the water pumps driven by the timing belt and thats coming off I know its added expense but if you dont know the history on the timing belt its definitely worth throwing one on while the rest is apart?

Cheers Ryan glad ya like it

Cheers Ricky much appreciated , if the timing hasn't already been done I will be getting it done with the pump , I do think the old owner has done the timing but Tryd to save cash and avoided the water pump Silly thing to do in my eyes for the sake of a £30 pump

Oh And a random picture

So my cars still not fixed in garage tommorow so fingers crossed

In the mean time this is my ride to work

why whats wrong with it or is just the t-belt your having done

I believe its the water pump that's gone coolant doesn't seem to be getting round keeps over heating and boiling up in the expansion tank

That's a shame but i have noticed recently at work iv'e been working on alot of VW's Audi's and Seat's must be the time of the Month

Lol strange isn't it

Good news car is now fixed the water pump was leaking And engine block was blocked

£180 later cambet kit and water pump fitted running fine now

I've got a free flow back box on the way and my Jom coilovers are getting fitted satday

Nice one dude, drove my old passat the other day and forgot how much it flew, cant imagine what this will be like if you end up with similar or more power as I'm sure its a good 150-200kg lighter
will be evil

It still doesn't run 100% feels very laggy and over fuels I personally think its down to the dump valve fitted , so on the hunt for a 007p

And I hope it is or will be evil !!

just managed to get hold of a awsome forge 007p in black
