Tuning Volkswagen Golf 3 own hands

German cars occupy one of the leading places in the world market. Nevertheless, the tuning of the Volkswagen Golf 3 for some car enthusiasts is relevant, as there is no limit to perfection. To modernize the machine is quite affordable on its own, without investing significant financial resources. But there is another alternative - to maximally work out a vehicle for the sake of obtaining an exclusive racing car. Let's consider the possibilities of self-modernization.

Transmission unit

As a rule, owners start tuning Volkswagen Golf 3 with the conversion of the transmission unit. Malfunctions with clutch begin after two hundred thousand run. If there are no obvious signs of malfunctions, this does not mean that they will pass by. It is advisable to pay attention to the following details:

• The main clutch disc;
• Cart;
• Release bearing;
• Transmission cable.

Alternatively, you can replace these parts with more modern analogues such as SAHS. This will achieve the desired effect and save a quarter of financial resources in comparison with the original elements.

A native node will cost several times more with an identical operational capability. The main thing is to choose analogues that have the appropriate quality certificates. An additional unique color will be added by the exclusive painting of the element and its finish in 3D mode. In addition, uniqueness will be given by original stickers and aerographic images.

Improvement of light elements

Tuning Volkswagen Golf 3 is appropriate in relation to the headlights and backlight elements. Optimum option will be the installation of xenon lamps, which in their parameters are superior to halogens. First, the lamps are not so exposed to heat. Secondly, the consumption of electricity is reduced, and the lighting itself covers 25 percent more territory.

To perform the tuning of the Volkswagen Golf 3 with your own hands in the lighting part, it is enough to purchase the Hella kit with a pair of special lenses and blocks.

Headlight Improvement Instructions

Observing the following recommendations, you can transform the exterior of the car beyond recognition in terms of light elements:

1. Completely disassemble the headlights, remove the glass with a hairdryer, so as not to damage the case.
2. Separate the reflector from the frame by unscrewing the fixing screws.
3. To make a groove for a new optics, taking off the dimensions by measuring the dimensions of the caliper.
4. Carry out an approximate fitting to ensure that there are no obstructions from other elements.
5. Install the lenses in the middle position, correct the light flux taking into account the height of 450 millimeters from the ground.
6. Adjust the position of the blend in relation to the basic details.
7. Glue the glasses and install them on regular places.
8. Adjust the light beam.

After that you can use the updated headlights, enjoying their possibilities and beauty.

Tuning of the Volkswagen Golf 3: modernization of the engine

Taking into account the use of the recommended oil and its timely replacement, the power unit will have a decent time without any modernization. As a revision, experts advise regularly to change the rings and old crank liners, which will avoid excessive carbon deposits and deterioration of the entire unit's functionality. In addition, it is necessary to monitor the condition of the stuffing boxes, seals on the tumblers and the timing belt tension.

Preventive work, which allows to maintain the resource of the motor at the proper level, consists of such manipulations:

• After removing the pallet, all gaskets should be replaced;
• Check the oil pump chain for wear;
• Tighten all fixing bolts using a torque gauge;
• Check all contact parts for leaks.

Tuning Volkswagen Golf 3 (station wagon) proves that the diesel engine of the car is fully operational, non-fueled and consumes about six liters of diesel fuel for a hundred kilometers. After the resource is developed, the motor turns into scrap metal. Therefore, it is more expedient to simply replace it with a new variant that is suitable for general parameters.

Transform the instrument panel

Let's consider how to make a color illumination of the working panel of this car. The procedure consists of several stages:

• Purchase of six LEDs with a spent bulb and a similar number of resistors (resistance - 850 ohms), as well as five white candelas;
• Stitching on the top pair of lens elements to the desired size;
• The inner cone is bored with a drill;
• The fixing space is filled with suitable glue;
• LEDs are placed in cartridges and shield;
• The panel and safety visor are dismantled;
• The control position of the arrows is marked;
• The rod is carefully detached from the LED, the old paint layer is erased with a sharp object;
• With tweezers, a blue or other color film is glued;
• Assembly of the assembly is carried out in the reverse order.

The tuning of the Volkswagen Golf 3 (pictured above) will ultimately lead to approximately the same result.

Chipping

Chip-tuning the car is one of the fastest ways to improve some of its characteristics. This procedure allows you to increase the maneuverability of cars, reduce fuel consumption, improve dynamics. Correct and high-quality firmware adds at least ten percent of the power to the vehicle. At the same time, having the necessary skills and equipment, the operation can be performed independently. In the presence of ABS, it is reasonable to carry out the procedure if the injection setting, the advance angle of the fuel supply and their aggregation will give a noticeable effect.

In principle, the engine with sixteen valves and two camshafts can be reproduced without hesitation. Motors with less performance will bring more trouble than real efficiency.

In conclusion

Tuning Volkswagen Golf 3 (91/97) will eliminate the weak points of the car, which is not so much. The main alterations are aimed at external equipment by installing additional body kit. As for the internal equipment, the transmission unit is most often transformed here. The spare parts for modernization can be easily selected. There are a lot of enterprises that sell licensed parts for all models of German cars.
