Oh My God

[mike2926]

i was reading a tread on here the other day about a guy who thought is car was under powered from when he first got it. i always thought mine felt slow after in went in for a service a week after i bought it. i changed the DV and did a couple of other things but it never really felt the same. the guy said that he had diconnected his battery for 15 mins and that reset the ECU and the difference was great.

while cleaning today i thought i would id give it a go but didnt think it would make a difference...........ohh my frikin god, i think i must have been running on half power..... i now get pushed into the back of my chair...as i should,....i have been bouncing around like a kid since i did it this morning and the missus thinks ive gone mad but all o wanna say is



I LOVE SCN and all of its members


cheers guys

If you think thats good wait till you get it mapped

If it comes back then its worth a bit more investigation, but fingers crossed....

Nice to here,and i bet your mrs is happy lol

i was thinking of booking into get it mapped this week end but i went into work instead , it feels like it has been mapped already now as it wheels spins in 3rd gear down the road lol


i loved it before but now.....i wanna have its babys.

it started after i got it back from a service so i reckon they did something then and forgot to reset the ecu....ahh well its all good now

Might be worth geting it on VAG-COM to check for any error's.

Have you got a boost guage on it yet ??? If you have you'll be able to see if it's mapped.

main thing it goes how it should. It will be even more fun when you remap it. My mates as one running around 260bhp i love it

there even more fun when they are mapped 274 BHP

 

[mike2926]

is it true you get better MPG when they get mapped as well as the company pays me per mile? im not worryed about MPG hence buying an LCR not a Fiat Panda (hahahhahahaha) but getting a couple of quid extra for doing the same thing cant be bad.

i cant moan to much though as the company bought the car for me lol

i havnt got a boost gauge yet, i was looking at the liquid gauge by awesome, is this any good as it says it says fault codes and does all gauges in one???

worth the £150?

cheers

They are good but I think the screens are a bit small and they are very expensive, A normall guage is about £20 you you can get VAG-COM fairly cheap, Dont forget you'll need a pod to hold the guage in aswell.

Mine did'nt in the dry, the ESP should stop it from spining.
What tyre's are you useing ???

i have firestones on the back and kuhmo on the front, this is what was on it when i got it but they are all brand new so im gonna book a track date destroy them then get my usual good year eagle F1's

 

[turbo009]

Im sure you can get vag com cheap if you shop about. And f1's for the winners

 

[mike2926]

where is best to get one from? and what kinda money am i looking at?



cheers

Those guages are nice but expensive and if you want a nomad piler pod to hold then you'll have to add another £50 to it

Have a look on Ebay for a copy of Vag-Com and the cable
