Remapped..

They're fueling too high for the burn and sending unburnt fuel down the exhaust. It's well known that a bad remap will cause excess soot.

The engine from the R10 is destined for the Q7 all be it in a cheaper version. (y)

Quite right Mr Hellcat! You know we so take Red Dot's re-mapping for granted I forgot about all that crap mapping that gets done out in the world!

I can honestly say I get no black smoke, and I still get the economy and performance is right there on tap when I want it. 41,000 miles now and still going strong! (whats that in kilometers?)
 
I think if I had smoke half the amount of that Astra I wouldnt belong in going back to RedDot. Standards mustnt be very high in that garage or they dont know how to do remap properly.
 
38,789 miles to break even!? I do it in a year!! so Mjet for me!!(y)
Did soemone said the Tjet is quicker than the Mjet from 80-120? you talking about KM or Miles? I dont think the Tjet will beat mine Mjet from 80-120mph for sure.
Why mentioned the smoky "REMAPED"?? I thought we comparing standard car here, so you want to talk about REMAPPED Tjet VS REMAPPED Mjet, dont even go there!!!:rolleyes:

OK well here it is fella..

Pre re-map my MJet was making 144bhp.... End of discussion! :p
 
Here is a T-jet owner, who equally likes diesels :). What T-jet lacks is torque dispite turbocharger althou it drives like a turbo diesel. But it gets full torque at 1750 RPMs, but turbo is only evective till 3500 RPMs, and then you run out.. But I wouldn't trade that engine for any other.. (y)

You run out of what? The best thing I like on my t-jet is that you can drive it easily like a diesel, no need for often gear shifting, because of the 200+ Nm and when you press the throttle the car starts pulling nicely from 2000 rpm's.On 4000 it goes wild and revs up to 5500-6000 rpm's (and 150 hp) very fast, and that' s what i like ( the best characteristics of both worlds diesel and petrol )
 
Trialled the MJ and T-jet for a few days before deciding, The performance felt similar, if anything the MJ felt alot faster when the turbo kicks in. They were so similar it seemed stupid not to get the derv, after all you can cruise on the otorway at 55MPG or thrash it above 2000 revs in any gear and it was just as fast anyway...

And this is coming from a guy that had a petrol drop-top as a previous car, and a petrol before that.

I ****ing love my car.
 
Interesting take yes, and also shows that where you are has a lot to do with the choice. Living in France Diesel is cheaper than petrol - very important. But even so I drove both the diesel and the petrol 120bhp offerings and decided on the diesel - why?, because i do 320km/day (about 200 miles) and on the motorway the diesel was a smoother and easier drive, yet it still performed well on smaller roads. No difference in comfort, no real difference in noise, no noticable tendancy for the nose to spill wide due to extra weight. The diesel was 700Euro more than the petrol, but I would make up the difference in 3 months. After that the service intervals and running costs make the diesel by far the better choice. As I say where you are has a lot to do with the choice you make.
 
Who seriously and realistically buys a car these days (especially new) and expected to break even or profit? Dealers excluded!

You buy what you like and enjoy it
 
Compared to my previous car, my Bravo is saving me about £1-80 a day on fuel, thats on an 18.2 mile round trip to work and back! So the savings will pay for the car in say, about 20 years, with 91000 on the clock :) Trouble is I'm driving more now...............so 91k will come up in 10 years :mad:

You'd be silly to keep a car longer then 5 years here in AUstralia...

It's silly everywhere. It's typical how diesel-lovers would say anything to justify the extra bag of money they gave for their car... :D

When I bought my car in June last year, It was pre-registered 31 Oct 2007, 14 miles on the clock, and there was not another Bravo cheaper on Autotrader, even petrol with 10k+ miles. I'm not really worried about theoretical economics. I just know I got a bargain that doesn'y fit the "rules".
