Feeling sluggish

[Stefan.]

Just noticed on my way home from work really, that the car was feeling abit sluggish only way i can really describe it.

car has/had done

* k-tec ik
*yozza cat back
*rs tuner/98 ron map

I did fill up with tesco super unleaded and it has just felt slow since

Anything that would cause it or maybe it is just me :clown:

cheers

Could just be a placebo effect, Tesco Momentum is 99 octane as well.... I fill up with V Power 95% of the time, sometimes I have to put a bit of Momentum in, it doesn't seem to make a noticeable difference..

sorry to hijack the thread

this is my first clio my car feels so slow when cold first mile it feels like i get a split second of car losing power when putting foot down also going to a garage on friday to have my exhaust checked for any holes sounds like its blowing near middle of car can a blowing exhaust make much difference to performance

^ that is normal bud, let the car warm up!!

It may need a bloody good electrical check up to make sure the H02's, MAP, CTS, ATS are all doing there job correctly. Sometimes there's more to servicing than just changing oil and filters.

I've noticed on my 197 it always feels a bit sluggish when its cold but as soon as it warms up its back to normal again

i already know this i meant even when up to temp just felt held back/sluggish. sure it is nothing just me being a pleb.

Sure its not the extra weight of a full tank? Lol. Mine feels fair bit slower with full tank, I only put in half inless i'm doing a long trip.

haha nope just a coincidence i filled up with tesco super unleaded and it just seemed like the clio didn't like it must be a shell v power *****.

in all seriousness it just felt like it was held back even when up to temperature. i am going to ring fred up in the new year and although a mahoosive trip just want him to give his keen eye a look over.

yeah but i wanna see what btm is all about

Just to update this, since filling up but with shell v-power this time (which i usually do) it has been spot on

It is either a big coincidence but my car just didn't seem to get on with tesco momentum. :S

anyway all is good

My car DRINKS v-power. I get on average 80 miles less to a tank with it over sainsburys super, which it feels better on too.
