under power or just the wife?

[sking_1]

The wife drove my standard 225R for the first time and she wasn't impressed. Is there something wrong with it? seems ok but don't exactly get pushed back in the seat is it worth getting looked at? [by the way she drives a Renault modus][

That was your first mistake.

 

[Andrewcupra TDI]

did she change gears ???

 

[CUPRACAR]

Pull the seat forward so she can reach the pedals

if your maf is under reading it will feel pig slow
vagcom logging can confirm this

i have seen a 225 TT with maf reading of 109g/s and the new owner of that car also thought he "thought" it should go better, but did'nt have a comparison. I swapped the MAF over for new one and he thought I had remapped it such was the difference

 

[Andrewcupra TDI]

i suppose the handbrake was also left on

dont suppose a remap was in the bill

 

[sking_1]

Cheers, i will look into getting the MAF sensor checked.

 

[Fl@pper]

swap ya woman over if the maf don't fix it - anywhere near 3000rpm in the 16v and mine's screaming her head off to slow down

 

[NotPotter]

wrong section but I think the thread is appropriate...

What do you say to a woman with two black eyes?


nothing...she's already been told twice

.....tough crowd

 

[225]

She wasn't impressed or you were not?? Dont forget you will get used to the cars oomph over time so doesn't feel as fast, just get it remapped, let her drive it again and tell her to use the other 5 gears this time..

My girlfriend grinned so hard when I put my foot down in my standard 210, to be fair, it used to shift. Now it's been remapped, she stops mid-sentance and holds on for dear life

Mine did the same. Never driven a turbo before and soon as the boost came on she changed up. Short shifting and no boost the LCR feels dull. Back in her white van and its rubbing bumpers to keep up the reputation of WVM or woman.

my missus "loves it when i drive fast" (on my private road obviously )

 

[Willie]

I didn't think my LCR was fast when I drove it for a start but soon got into driving a turbo'd car

 

[m0rk]

who's faster car is she used to being taken in?

 

[skahigh]

I'd guess she isn't used to revving the nuts off a car and is changing up too soon.

My missus can't drive mine but she holds on for dear life when I give it some beans.
