Rolling Road figures

[Dubbernut]

Well just got back from a club day on the Rollers. Only had the FR Tdi a few weeks and really enjoyed the torque but like most allways want more so a re-map was on the cards.
Was looking for standard numbers as it was from a main dealer etc and only 2 years old.
How amazed was i to see 205.9 bhp and 339.7 lbft Result

Obviously had work done by the previous owner but no record as to wats been done.

Can you contact the previous owner to ask what they had done?

339lbft is a high figure to be running on a standard clutch, does your clutch slip?

yh thats reely good, bet u was pleased as punch.
gotta have had something doing on it surely... sneaky!!

 

[RikH]

you NEED to know what its had done to it as a priority
not knowing this is more likely to make it go BANG!

339lb-ft or NM? Big difference in these figures.

It isn't, its bloody dangerous figures unless its had some BIG mods to cope.

 

[smiff]

As long as he is happy then so be it.It dose seem an amazingly high figure though

 

[daveyonthemove]

Yeah, your right. They say cure is better than prevention, so might as well ignore it.
Out of interest, who's rolling road did you use?

 

[smiff]

It was done on stealths rollers

lb-ft mate.

The turbo has had some work done to it by the sounds of it as it whistles like no other derv I or the staff at Stealth ever listned to.
Its going back to Stealth so Vince can have a good look at it, plus im going back to the dealer to see if they can shed some more light on it.

Suppose you could do. Most people can easily afford the cost of their own car, someone elses, compensation and court costs etc without any help from insurance. I'm almost gutted that i spent £450 to cover my car when i had my accident 5 yrs ago and saved myself over £80,000 by being legal. I should maybe jump on the bandwagon and let other people pay a big hike each year to cover me.

 

[Willie]

If he doesn't know about the extra power and the garage didn't tell him or even know themselves how can he be liable?
I wouldn't but it is always an option in this case

What have you told them? In your first post you didn't know what had been done to it

 

[Seat til I die]

he rang them to confirm the car is COMPLETELY STANDARD and has had NO MODIFICATIONS OF ANY KIND

 

[Dubbernut]

Told them its had a re-map and turbo upgrade as starters. They have pretty much said that it doesnt matter what gets done to it performance tuning wise as it wont affect my premium although the excces may go up.
