Tickover from cold seems quite high @
1500 rpm, is this OK.

Also, where has the turbo gone, my MY94
felt much quicker...........

Yep,mine MY98 is also at 1499 rpm.Should be normal.

I have a MY99 and mine from cold holds 1500 rpm, then as the car warms the ECU reduces the revs to about 800rpm, I think this is normal operation.

Thanks, I guess it's just my inbuilt mechanical sympathy ay play.

Hi

I mentioned this the other day, I have a problem after several motorway miles (around 20 or so) when the traffic grinds to a halt the tickover on mine goes upto 1500 rpm when warm, unless I drop into neutral and let go of the clutch

Yup, certainly seems overly sensitive to throttle input etc. Mines seems to hunt quite a bit from cold but I read this seems 'normal' from posts in other threads. Seems a lot slower than my MY94 as well. I guess I'm never happy http://bbs.sidc.co.uk/smile.gif Handles v.well though.

Hi Jye,
I have the same symptoms with the idle on my 99My as well. With regard to the 'lack of Turbo' I have found that I don't rev much above 5800 rpm compared to taking my 96MY to 6500 most of the time, and I let the torque do all the work. I have also found that I don't change down when overtaking on A/B roads and let 4th pull me past.

Yup, 4th is a stonking gear on the MY99.
From 60-120mph, Its amazing. The engine
is a completely different beast to my previous Scoob though. I'll just have to learn to live with it http://bbs.sidc.co.uk/wink.gif Such a shame, heh, heh.
