Today, finished off the work on the engine with removing the Synergy2 and the PB MAF (out of spec anyway). Replaced with the original Bosch MAF that I took out when I put the S2 in..... Undone the air intake mod..... and put it back to original. Also oil, PCV, air and pollen filters renewed. I change the PCV filter every other service, which amounts to every year. Oil & oil filter changed every 8k miles (or thereabouts) Took the car out afterwards with 2 up and 0-60mph on the flat was 11 seconds. Not bad for an auto Forgot to say.... on a 20- 25% uphill with sports mode engaged she did 0-60mph in 12 seconds. In both cases the power was applied fairly gently... initially the take off was nice and even, not as much as a wheel spin as before with the "over-fuelling" Impressed ? Yes

Hi All and thanks for a warm welcome, what I noticed was that I used almost 1/2 a tank to the meet and just over a1/4 on the return trip to Cornwall, or was it because the return trip was all down hill :-)
Thanks Brian for the 160, Looks like I might need some new tyres soon as I get a bit of wheel spin going up hill now from my home. the response from stand still is ssssssooooooo much better. I have taken on board the other information you said, new O rings and Gold fan resistor ordered, cleaned out the EGR, Just picked up drivers door actuator, and got 2 door trims to replace the rusty ones, so that gives me things to do when the rain stops. Hope to meet you all again soon. Barry AKA MevagisseyMedic |

I had the 135 remap and Synergy 2 and wheel spins were "embarrassing" But with the 160 re-map I find that the power is continuous and evenly spread.... No more wheel-spins

You're Not the Only One!

Using "Sports Mode" makes no difference to the acceleration times of the a diesel. Anybody care to do an officially timed test in a petrol auto (where, I suspect "Sports Mode" should have an effect)? And - as I'm sure you are aware - the publicity figures supplied by MGR show no difference in the 0-60 times of the auto and the manual. Regards Robert
