When you changed the cambelt, did you follow the skoda workshop procedure with the correct timing tools and checked and set the final timing using diagnostics (vcds)?

 

Overdrive ratio means its a ratio selected for relaxed cruising and economy (low engine speed) and not maximum speed/power capability.

Final gears in most cars are as others have stated, overdrive, which has a much finer gear ratio. This means, it takes more effort from the engine to increase the speed, however to maintain a speed it uses less effort than in lower gears. 

 

If your engine is capable of achieving higher speeds in a lower gear, there isn't anything wrong with your engine, nor your gearbox, it's just how you're using them.

 

I have driven VAG diesels, that in 6th gear, can go from 50kph to 200+ with ease and very quickly, however most petrols, especially naturally aspirated ones, won't have the torque/power to push the car in higher gears without dropping down a few first. 

My 1.6 TDI goes 198km/h.  Down hill it will go +200 km/h. If your car is in waranty go to delaer service something is wrong with it. Maybe your DPF is almost full. In that case, let them do forced regen.

Scan the car for error codes

I checked it 6 times in different 6 places with the original updated VCDS software without any single error and the check was at stop and at different driving speeds on the high way

Ah - that changes it a bit - is this the old 8 valve 1600 old timer? These are normally fitted with a 5 speed box and have high revs at speed.

 

All engines in the UK are turbo charged. The 1600 should be an over 100mph engine but being normally aspirated gearing could be important.

 

 

 

 

I don’t know about the type of old 8 valve 1600 old timer but this model in 2015 the car was brand new with 6 Hearsall d all the same model with my friends the can get 200 km/h

There lies the confusion - in the UK we don't have a 1600 petrol version

Yes I followed all the procedures with professional techniques and with the tools from Skoda to adjust the cams and checked by VCDS

Yes I know I just came back from Coventry after long period for finishing my PhD. However but still something missing I can’t find it in that car

I think your car is the normal ranges for this models. Sorry what is the DPF??

Yeah that’s right. But the thing that you can’t go more than 150 km/h on the 6 th gear

DPF is diesel particulate flter - but as you mentioned above your engine is a petrol so not fitted with one.

 

Do you have the specs of the engine fitted to your car? and how old is it?

 

To confuse matters In the UK as of now (2018) the petrol/gasoline1.4 is being replaced replaced with the 1.5 and will have an OPF (Otto Particulate Filter)

I think you are all wasting your time responding to this thread. It is clearly a wind up.

I'm sure there could be a genuine issue however all OP needs to do is go to a mechanic/dealer and get them to look at it.

 

Failing that, we could advise anything. I mean, the flux capacitor on the hyperdrive could do with topping up with headlight fluid. That might help... 

... or get his car put on a dyno and compare the power/torque curves from the dyno with the Skoda spec for that car/engine combination - that would show once and for all IF there is a problem with the engine being down on power/torque.

Excellent solution I will try to find one and test it.    Thanks

I went to dealer itself and Skoda agent and they failed to specify the source if the problem and they checked it many times and the answer was we are not able to specify the source of error.

The car model 2015 this means that the engine running for only 4 years till now. About the specifications I will try to find them in the car catalogs.

With your engine and transmission option I'm assuming you are in Egypt. 

According to a Wikipedia table you would need a tailwind or a slight downhill to achieve a true 200kph.

The speedometer display is usually optimistic by up to 10% so your friends may only be doing 180kph unless their claims were verified with a GPS.

Check you own speedo accuracy with a GPS. At least it will quantify the problem, if any, and cheaper than putting your car on a rolling road which would be of little value unless one of your friend's 'good' car is also tested for comparative purposes.

Thanks for this table. Actually one of my friends took a photo for his car with that speed. Whatever I don’t need 200 km/h but at least be able to get 170 km /h to check that there is nothing wrong with my car

 

thanks for your help

DPF stands for Diesel Partical Filter. If you drive the yor car for to long on short distances. DPF system won't be able to warm up and burn the ashes and it might result in lose of power. But you would get a warning by now in dash.

 

Any way your car should be able to drive 150 km/h and more in 6 th gear.

Oh sorry. I didn't get that. Must be the sand!
