feels slow

[andy1982]

Hi everyone had my car with renault for the last two weeks with a starting issue they fixed the issue but when it was there they put some petrol in it but only put cheap rubbish in it is have always used v power now I have got it back it feels really slow have now put v power back in it would this cause it to be slow because it will confused the ecu help needed

It shouldn't really effect it that much. Is it mapped? Was anything else done?

No mate don't think it's mapped not sure

Tbh u out cheap petrol in mines and I noticed a slight difference top it up with tesco stuff or v power and see if it changes

You can just about notice a difference in vpower to 95ron but it is hardly anything. Certainly not enough for you to think it was slow in comparison.

I can only just notice it am going to top it up with v power

Give it a good drive until the light comes on and give it half a tank of V. Should be fine then. Mine goes dodgy sometimes if i haven't been able to get momentum or v power.

i lack power sometimes is bp ultimate not as good?

In which case if it was only that they actually touched then try decent fuel unless the somehow did a reset and deleted the map or something however unlikely?!

Is it still around £150 for a key?

Try 170 now mate yes gonna stick v power in a give it a blast tried bp ultimate really didn't like it

I thought my clio was down on power and unmapped.

Turns out it's actually quite a fast one and mapped.

It's a clio thing.


It could possibly be that they flashed the latest version of the standard map onto the ECU when connecting it to diagnostics, which I think is something they do, which if it was mapped beforehand would make it feel slower?

I can't decide if mine is mapped.. it revs to 7400-7500 rpm ish but still has a 5000 kick..

We need a little road test I think Callum.. would answer if we are both running ok I guess

 

[McGherkin]

If it revs to 7500 then it's mapped. Mine still has the 5k kick too.

 

[Chris_Beer]

Guess its down to the better driver then? let me know lol

 

[LeeRS]

mine hits the limiter at 7500rpm and is not mapped. I have plugged it into RS tuner and it shows the original ECU cal.
So I guess 7500rpm proves nothing.

 

[182Trophy]

Don't the mapped ones almost reach 8k? Or is that only cammed and mapped ones?

 

[andy1982]

Good news just gave it a blast and the power is back yehhhhhhhhh

 

[Chris_Beer]

Perhaps having an off day? I've had the same sometimes, I swear its slower than other days but I drive it twice everyday of the week so don't know if I'm just used to it

 

[ADS_V6]

i get this i think its the car not warmed up enough imo

 

[andy1982]

I think I just get used to it because when I get in the wife insignia it's so slow
