Classic old car problem lol. Older speedos used eddy currents which basically was some magnets spinning around in a metal cup with a clock spring connected to the needle in the dash. Problem is the cable from the trans gets all gunky and worn after a while, which causes it to bounce like that. So bad in some cars that the needle will literally break off.
@@napraznicul Some of the bouncing could be simply down to how the cable is routed with the new swap. Has to be a fairly straight shot in or it will bind if there are too many twists and turns. I have a car that is getting close to 40 years old that still has its original cable drive. They are fairly reliable for the most part, and can be accurate if the spring tension is set correctly.
Some comments for the owner having had a 220hp g60 MK1. Be very careful with the windshield above 200kmh because it's held by rubber, not glue. It will come out at some point which doesn't need explanation how dangerous it is. The hoses and pipes. Hoses came loose on my MK1 as wel a few times. What helps is to rough up the surface of the shiny pipe where the hose goes. Use sandpaper and use double clamps instead of just one, then it will hold. And try to find another hose because your right 90degree one is jamming the flow. Pretty sure you already know this since its clearly visible. And last but not least check the basics... if wheel alignment is off you may face some unexpected behavior, with this kind of power and speeds I wouldn't take any risks. Such a cool car and wish you lots of fun with it. Please be careful and stay safe.🤙
The windshield being mounted in a rubber is no problem. You do need to check your windscreen to see if you have a laminated type. The older ones usually have a hardened windshield and that can shatter into your face... The laminated type cracks but stays together.
@@Isa-hn2im It seems to be mapped way too safe or just plain bad, because it should be spinning 3rd without an issue although when it gets to 2500-3000rpm it definitely scoots
My grandpa actually also did a 1.9 tdi swap into a golf mk1. He was the first to do it in NL. Idk exactly how long ago it was but quite cool that he did that as a first haha
If i ever became a millionaire id prolly do a golf 1 restomod. Its such a funsize vehicle generally and classy looking too, or with an old civic. Sleeper hatchback with todays standards would be glorious. Maybe around 300-400 hp but keep it as close to 1000kg as possible. Ha just imagine the fun with it. Make it 4 wheel drive somehow too.
Black smoke? Not for me. Fun car but they can build it without black smoke. We have those modded TDI engines here in Istanbul. And without that black smoke of course.
As far as I'm aware, black smoke is to cooldown exhaust gases. Which are a big issue on these high powered diesel engines. You can run it without smoke your just prone to kill your engine faster. Or use metanol to reduce temperatures as well... But... That's just too expensive... Needs setups and what not.
@@rafavsky9126 overfueling can actually causes increased EGTs, but when running big power it seems safer to have too much fuel than not enough. shame people who plough money into diesels never bother with a decent ECU and run switchable maps.

I suddenly want a TDI swapped Mk I Golf in my life. This is so cool despite the plumbing problem. I hope the owner can fix it permanently and give you another chance to film
Yes, because the round-edge is missing on the ned of the aluminium-pipe, to Prevent the pipe from sliding out. But, what a dumbs could not finish such obvious mistake ... i wonder how much Boost does it give ...
@@emanuelmorosan622you can make smoke if you want. Just ask your tunner. Black smoke is unburned fuel, and usually on this high hp diesel engines they need to run rich to keep lower exhaust temps. This also means that with smoke you'll spend more fuel obviously. I have a golf 4 3 door 1.9tdi pd100 with roughly 150hp. Love that thing.
that title makes me wonder @AutoTopNL have you already went to do a top speed and the car broke or you had a accident on the autobahn? (other than this one)
its really nice watching you drive and old tuned diesel golf that broke down 3 times and enjoy it more than most of the modern supercars.. this is what car enthusiasm is about 😆
"I guess you guys wanna see that big cloud of smoke!" Yes , sir, please ! I hope it's ok to speak in the name of all petrol heads around the entire world :)
It's not about clamp, is about the end of that pipe which has no "bumpy border" to lock that hose and the clamp on it. I run an 1.9tdi 260bhp from 5years ago, daily and is AWD torsen AND heavy (1550kg), so it make that 2.3bar each time in 3rd, 4th and 5th, but never any hose jump, and i have A LOT of links of pipes-hoses there. ALSO he engineered that intake .. not ideal, with way to many fast flow pipes wich came directly in 90° turning - there always will be a weak point and no very efficient design either.
@@migueldenboer5186 Haha don't worry. I meant classic like it is pretty common car, but on the other hand there is some culture around it that is legendary.😂 I still have my Golf which was made in 2003 and it still works amazing.
South Africa have a few nice factory build Mk1's the velociti ,Citi mk1 limited edition, and mother of all the Citi R line go check them out also check out the nice interiors they have.
So basically, diesel engines tend to run higher exhaust temps, especially with this kinda power. Which is not good. One way to make em temperatures drop, is by running a rich mixture, meaning unburned fuel, which means black smoke. Or you can reduce power, or you can run it without smoke, and your engine'll just break earlier. Or you can yet use metanol injection. But that all requires a complete build. Which some just doesn't think it's viable
@@rafavsky9126 in a diesel when you add fuel you get higher egt... They usually add too much fuel in the lower rev range to get the turbo to spool better/faster. After that the smoke should disappear to get a good afr and not too high egt. Excess fueling and smoke means power is being lost.
My first car was an mK2 with a 2.0 16v swap. Shrick cam/manifold, full corrodo interior/corrado straight pipe, all neuspeed suspension, REAL yellow paint with a checkered flag from front to back, euro “big bumpers”…it was a LEGEND in Colorado spring back in 1999-2001. I’d eat type R’s/Gsr/Si/DSM/mustang GT’s for lunch! I hate myself for ever selling it. I also hate myself for selling my 1991 Coupe Quattro with the “bag of snakes” header. So many rare and fun cars I owned back in the day.
So should the Golf return for a second review with full power?
ofcourse yes, that diesel pulls hard and it does not stop pulling
YES why not! Get the hose clamp under control and give it full send!
OBVIUSLY
Yes pls
YES

I had an MKII Polo a few years ago and even 120 was kinda scary in that old little thing. 200 in an MKI Golf must feel like 300 in a modern car.
At 1:54 you can clearly see the squashed air hose going out of the intercooler which is probably the main reason you are loosing boost.

Yea true. For me it just ruins the whole car to see that cloud of black smoke behind it. It's just lazy and cheap ECU tuning.
I think he just needs to flare the pipes, so that the silicone joints stay on better. It's a neat little hack for high boost pressures
