Dunno whats going on, but I seem to be down on power, if I floor the car in 2nd / 3rd / 4th the car used to pull after about 3k revs and it was noticable ! now there is no sense of being pressed into your seat ! and at 5k revs it feels like it is giving a big push !!

any ideas ?

got it booked into the dealer but want to know if anyone has any clues in case they bull5hit me

thanks

Mines just started to act the same...put it down to running the last couple
of tanks with normal unleaded but would be interested if you found
out any different.

Is it similar to what I describe here: http://www.scoobynet.co.uk/bbs/threa...hreadID=110695?

Would be interested to hear what the dealer has to say.

Dave - I have been running on Optimax mainly but SUL when I cant get Optimax. wonder if Optimax is to blame ?

16k on the clock so engine should be nice and run in !! does it need a service ??? under the old scooby rules it should of had one by now but I have been told by the dealer not until 20k !!!

or is it cos its not cold and the intercooler isnt getting cold enough ( really dont have a clue what im talking about now ! )

Last week I had a porka 911 'G' plate behind me, he was up for a sprint so off we went I let him go past me at 120, then proceeded to match him to 145 ( private road ) but I thought I should kill him up to 100 at least ?? maybe not ?

then last night on the same private road had a 00 scooby in front of me and a Nissan GTi-R, blew them both away but not in the fashion I would of expected ! the car still goes fast but its not what Id call scooby fast !!! ie I expect to feel the car really pull and me to get pushed into my seat when flooring it !!!
like I say maybe im wrong, but I let my mate drive the car the other week and I was passenger and he floored it and I didnt feel any power, if I had been getting a test drive for a new car and it felt like this there is no way I would buy a scooby !!! the car is definitely not behaving in the same manner as it used to !!

Simes - I read your thread last week and it would be quite interesting to find out what caused your prob ! ? sounds VERY similar ( a defo kick at ~5k revs ! )


It will be interesting to see what the dealer finds ?
