Fantastic day, even though some us got a little sun-burnt

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.

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

I'm impressed too. See you at Santa Pod next time will we, Andrew? You should clean up in the diesel section! Unless it's down to that clear, cool Welsh mountain air, of course. Shame the Welsh Nano was after our visit to Podington.
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.
