Polo GTI power problem?

maco · Post by **maco** » Sun Feb 15, 2004 1:46 am

Or it isn`t power. Ok, I will try to explain! As you know the car has 125HP! One wheek ago I had an 185/55/14 WINTER tires on the car. And now two days back I fitted SUMMER tires 195/50/15! And the performance of the car sucks?!?!? When the winter tyres were on the car I could get even 215km/h easily! But now the car doesn`t wan`t to go more then 180km/h?!?!?!

Could anyone help me? Is there maybe something wrong with the clucth(did I spell this correctly)? I am going out of ma mind! What the F**K is wrong?

Thanks for help!

Your original tyres should be 195x45x15 but I can't see how this can make your car so slow?

Maybe put your winter wheels back on and see if performance goes back to normal?

I also have a service in 2 days! Let the mechanics try to fix the problem. Whatever it is?!?!?

Hello again. The car was on the service. there was something wrong with the senzor on one of the camshaft?!?!? And the cable of 4 cilinder was defected. Hmm??!?! Everything is ok now-happy

180km/h is about 113 in mp/h
