Question

Hi folks.

I've noticed over the last few weeks, that my scoob (MY00 UK turbo with Magnex backbox) doesn't seem to have the oomph that it used to, especially before the turbo kicks in. For example, my brother in his normally aspirated Rover 620 can just about match me in accelleration (which never used to be the case). The engine seems to be running ok, (no misfires, funny noises or anything) and it is doing quite well on fuel economy so I don't think there's anything major wrong. It just doesn't feel quite right.

Anyone got any ideas?
Cheers,
Iain

Check the floor mat is not blocking full accelerator travel

It's better on cold mornings, and I am saving up for a PPP I'm just worried that this seems to be getting worse. Can I reset the ECU or is this a dealer thing?

p.s. I have already checked the car mat Steve

Cheers,
Iain
