Just a quick one. I've always found 100% throttle to be a little pointless below a certain rev point in all my TDI's. For all this time, I've thought it was normal. Does anyone else think its normal?

 

For example:

 

3rd gear, 1500RPM > Dump Throttle to 100% > Next to no acceleration till later on > very low torque feeling (push into seat feeling)

 

Normal driving:

 

2nd gear idle - 2000ishRPM 20 - 30 % throttle > increase accelerator slowly > high torque feeling.

 

Is this just a characteristic of a turbo diesel or am i talking s%^??

 

PS: TDI VRS Engine however had the same with all other TDi's i've had (ASZ, ARL)

u got to wait for turbo to come in just like any turbo charged car

makes sense!! Brake booster vacuum pipe holding well by the way!

Basic turbo lag really.
