Today I was driving this thing in the manual shifting mode and I pushed the pedal passed the full throttle position and it shifted down..why did my car do this?

@guitarjoe209 the wlfsburg has bbs wheels and a sportier sspenson with sport cloth seats and three spoke steering wheel . and the 2001 has the aww engine =150hp and the 03 has the awp=180hp

the 1.8T makes its peak power at about 5700 rpm, wouldn't it be better to shift around there. i do with mine and it just flys. and whats the difference between a regular jetta and a wolfsburg edition?
-
yea mine is lowered on coilovers its nice for the acceleration but when it comes to braking or wet weather it gets slippery
-
yeah if you wuda let that rev back down while in first it wuda been perfect. Nice car though
I was surprised at the drop between 1st & 2nd gears. You went from 40 all the way down to 35. Missed shift, or is that typical for this car?
I'm thinking of getting a newer MkIV 1.8T, I had an '01 MkIV 2.slow that got totaled.

i shifted like 500 rpm too early because the road was a little wet and i didnt wanna spin too much.
1.8t is a real joy when your stock intercooler isnt heat soaked. i suggest replacing that first.

Is there a limited slip differential mod or something like that to reduce wheelspin? 180 hp to just the fronts seems like a bit much, and it could be even more with a Neuspeed or Revo chip on 91-93 octane (215 hp).
I mean, my old Jetta had 115 hp, and the fronts were wearing out after 12-15k miles, the backs took the full 25-30k quoted by the tire manufacturer. Rotating them doesn't help much either, it just causes tons of road noise and vibration.

i think its the soft suspension eating up the tires. try a sport package. i dunno im just guessing

its like 10 or 12, but its a very small turbo. that why when you chip it and push it up to 18ish, it only makes a 30 hp gain. If you did that with a big turbo, it'd be awesome.
