Ive read a few paosts relating to fuel types where people say they have reset their ECU's and the results have been positive - can someone please explain how you reset the ECU - and is it worth doing if you cant guarantee always using the exact same fuel?

Thanks,
Phil

Simple, disconnect the battery overnight, reconnect in the morning. ECU reset, job done.

The ECU will monitor the RON of the fuel you use. If it detects a lower RON i.e you have filled up with NUL because they have run out of SUL it will automatically run the engine differently. You would then have to fill up with SUL lots of times before the ECU went back to the original settings. By reseting the ECU it will detect what RON is in the tank at that time and run accordingly.

Cheers Nathan..

 

I've also been considering this, does disconnecting your battery set the alarm off.

Hey MDC,

How did you get on with the wheel balance?

BOB - took the scoob to selecta tyre in grantham (apparently selecta tyre supply wheels and tyres to Notts and Mansfield Subaru)- they quoted me £90 a corner for Toyo proxes 215, 40, 17's like ive got now - which i thought was good??

I got all 4 wheels balanced and the tracking done - was quite a long way out - now drives much better - no steering wheel shake at cruising speed - £43 all in. Had an hour of questions and ar*e licking from the mechanics though and everyone in the garage was having a good look at the scoobysport exhaust when it was u in the air!

Cheers!!

 

I can get a set ordered for a meet if anyone is interested - Toyo proxes - 215, 40, 17's, new from selecta tyre for £90.00 each??

 

Ah that's a good job then

Those tyres sound like good money too
