Been driving the scoob for 3 months now and to be honest i have not had a car that gives the smiles per mile that it does but there is a problem, even when its hot there are flat spots all over the place sometimes you boot it and it gives you the beans and sometimes usually in second gear occasionally in third there is a flat spot around 3000rpm which is when the turbo should be doing the business...

Any Ideas.....

thanks In advance

I have tried all the fuels V Power, Tesco 99 and ultimate still does it.....

Alright bud....
As you know i have got the same car as you and i use bp ultimate..... Mine does not do that so i would be tempted to take it to the garage. Iv done around 2300k if that makes any difference

I've done 3400k and she is run in, don't get me wrong with the decat and the back box when she goes she goes, my mate came out for a pint with me the other night and when i picked him up, He said its miles faster now the engine has run in but you don't notice it when you drive it every day, its like you are waiting for something to happen, had a bit of fun with a Clio 182 the other day, All above board you know on the right roads and lost him...

But it just doesn't feel right maybe that's the engineer coming out in me...

Mines alot faster too since the 1k service.... I am told ill need a 3100k service.... Have you had this?
I wont tell you what speed i do on the way home then on a nice wide open motorway if were keeping it all above board. wink....wink...nod...nod..........

Yes you need a 3000k service to keep the warranty intact i am getting mine done when i get paid next week its only £130 which is nothing to say what we saved on buying one @£20K Eh!!!!

But its been like it since new but its getting better might be part of the engine running in, I thought it might be the plugs as i have had this problem on a Calibra many years ago and the gap want set right, fixed it myself, just thought with a few of you guy's having Hawk-eye's or even just a bit of prior would be enough...

Simon I see you name is down for next week looking forward to meeting you..

Regards Paul

Although still haven't got my service book from them yet still waiting, kept the receipts and will be chasing there **** next week when i have the time ...

simonbb1328

Havent had that prob with mine tho...........

zaxs1973

They are changing the format of them so it should take a while but as long we are doing our service bits. that's okay is it not going to affect our warranty or resale...
