• Hi Guest There will be essential maintenance on the server on Monday 10th November from 5am meaning the website will be offline for a period of time. We will do everything to ensure the downtime is kept to a minimum.
Cool.

P-Torque is where mine will be going.

Will was quoting 185bhp with DPF and 205bhp without DPF

If i'm going to get it done I want rid of the DPF - don't fancy the replacement cost a few years down the line.


Thats wot he sed to me first then wen he was done he told me he pushed out 204!
I was lookin to get rid of my dpf but i do alot of motorway drivin so havnt botherd!
You changed your panel filter?
 
Total pain in the arse - the DPF is the big box strapped to the back of the engine.

Take a look down the back of your engine - you won't want to replace that box each year.

from what ive seen its under the car? not at the back of the engine
 


The intercooler too! im curious to the other box ive seen under there then cause ive had all the silencers removed
 
Oh iv never seen that one before!
I bin lookin at a pipercross one on amdtuning i fink!
 
Picked up the FR this morning. Wow, it drives so much better than the Fabia VRS. The handling is almost night and day. I'm getting used to the engine too and it has some nice punchy mid range torque, managed 57mpg mixed driving too on the way home which is nice. Some pics:

I came from a seat ibiza 130TDi sport and felt like you - night and day difference.
 
Looks great, love the chrome wing mirrors!

enjoy the new car.

I wanted one that colour but couldn't find any near me at the time - had to travel 200miles to get a black one.
