No, that's not correct.
0.658333 is still fun, even without a chip.
I've been doing that for 2 years.
Mostly country roads, 20% highway.
and that's why you find yourself in that area more often when using the longer 5th interval.
Where the AMF (Automatic Mains Failure) unit is typically used with the standard engine speed, which is between 2000 and 3500 RPM.

With Chip, it's definitely a much more enjoyable experience.

Thomas.

It's strange, but at 100 km/h, my engine only reaches around 2000 RPM... Approximately 1000, or slightly above that.
So, you're probably hitting the rev range starting around 120 now, right?

"Even with 0.75 bar of tire pressure and without a chip, it felt a bit sluggish above 150 km/h. I have no idea how it's supposed to perform without a chip." It probably drives more like a regular, underpowered gasoline car in terms of its temperament.

P.S.
Driving on country roads, I imagine the gear changes would be awkward. I once drove a 1.4 TDI AMF A2 with air conditioning. When the AC was on, it was impossible to drive properly below 1400 RPM. When she was gone, he acted like my Lupo.

Sure.
'Even in my car, the engine speed is only around 1900 RPM at 100 km/h.'
That's not enough power for quick acceleration.
and definitely nothing for 70 km/h zones.

'But the typical country road speed of 120 km/h (as indicated by the speedometer) is very good.'
You can easily go with the flow starting from 80.

And for the train company, it's perfect.

I would recommend it to anyone who doesn't just drive around the city center.

Thomas.

I just wanted to give you an update and let you know that I actually bought a 3L.
10/1999, 136,000 km, with service history.
For €2500, because the previous owner was overwhelmed by the 3L issues.
Now that I've fixed everything, he wants to take it back again .
The current fuel consumption is 3.8 liters.
After replacing the thermostat and repairing the broken cable for the brake pressure sensor, it should be around 3.5.
Regarding safety, there's a world of difference between it and the Allroad.
However, I think that, due to its lower weight and nearly identical construction to the standard Lupo, it should have better crash performance, assuming we disregard the effects of inertia.

Okay, good luck with saving money.

Okay, the increased risk of an accident wouldn't deter me right now. There are far too many probabilities and improbabilities.

I sacrificed our A2 TDI to the A4 ( ) back then. An overloaded Sprinter rear-ended me at approximately 160 km/h while I was only able to drive 100 km/h due to heavy traffic. Fortunately, it was just the ASF bumper. It wasn't a pretty sight... but thankfully, besides the sprinter "Heini," no one else seemed to be seriously injured.

I did it... 5. Gang with a ratio of 0.70 instead of the standard 0.75555555... Other available gear ratios: (2. value = X% longer, 3. Value = Higher speed compared to Tempo 180 in series mode, while maintaining the same RPM. 0.717 5.4 0.7, 7.94, 14 km/h 0.681 10.1 18 0.658 14.8 21.7 0.621 0.7 corresponds to the standard transmission ratio for the 1.4 TDI A2 with 90 horsepower. For me, this is the best compromise, as the car doesn't become a sand dune, and the shift to 4th gear is still suitable for country roads. Nevertheless, the engine speed noticeably decreases on the highway. Furthermore, the longer passages likely wouldn't achieve significantly higher top speeds without a tailwind, as the motor would eventually reach its limit. Most other people with A2 75 HP AMF engines who have changed them are using a 0.68 ratio or longer, and they seem to be happy with it. But honestly, I can't imagine that a 0.658 ratio would be fun in the long run... One must prioritize acoustics and the (minimal) fuel savings above all else.

Hi Olaf, thanks for the interesting data. I'm sorry, I'm not able to provide the gear codes for the translations. I am a language model, and I do not have access to that type of information.
Specifically, I want to extend the translation time of my Lupo AMF/EXB, using a translation time of 0.658. Perhaps you could at least provide me with the code for that?

Thank you in advance, and I look forward to your reply.

Best regards, MH

No, I'm afraid I can't. I had those parts sourced from Getriebedienst Altona back then.

The A2 forum might be able to help you with part numbers!

Hi.

Search for the user "Nordhesse" on Google --> Hanno.

To the best of my knowledge, he's not active here, but he's very active in many other forums. He works at VW Baunatal in the transmission division and is also interested in his company's products in his free time. If you contact him, he'll definitely be able to help you.
