no, it just drives the same all the time, i wouldnt know it was there i hadn't have looked underneath
The one on this 4.2sc looks to be a metal housing and traditional thermostat, oddly when you buy even a genuine stat it arrives in bits, IKEA version of a traditional stat, every one iv had has always been pre built.
I really want to drive a 5.0 and see how much quicker they are,
I would hate to think what a more powerful would be like, what i was not used to mine being a manual box was the sort of delay when you put your foot down as it thinks about it drops a gear or two then takes off like a scolded cat at which point its ow bugger less throttle needed, but that supercharger sound track is so niceI really want to drive a 5.0 and see how much quicker they are,
I do keep looking at changing the charger pully and getting it mapped one day its a good idea next il just leave it alone
Yeah it starts to accelerate in whatever gear it in on the torque then goes if i drop a gear or a few i can shift, if you do it at 40 45mph from coasting in 5th or 6th and click the kickdown it'll throw right back too 2nd and land at 4500rpm and mke all the nice noises and squatI would hate to think what a more powerful would be like, what i was not used to mine being a manual box was the sort of delay when you put your foot down as it thinks about it drops a gear or two then takes off like a scolded cat at which point its ow bugger less throttle needed, but that supercharger sound track is so nice
Sometimes i do think a 3.6 would have been more sensible, i did look but then before i knew it i was looking at 10k motors
i honestly though my 4.4 tdv8 would be much more economical than the 4.0 v8 in the p38Sometimes i do think a 3.6 would have been more sensible, i did look but then before i knew it i was looking at 10k motors
I didn't pay much for mine with 9 days mot so even if it blew up on the way home or failed an mot badly or was crippiling too run id have not been out of pocket,
I do think sometimes i should have kept my td6 as a plodder or something but it would never get used,
My 318i i bought just after the supercharged with intention to run a bit and not use the RR all the tine has done 18miles in 8months
I'm averaging 22 on the trip computer, when you take the tax and maintenance costs into consideration it'd be about 300 quid a year more to run a 4.2 for me. Pennies over 12 monthsi honestly though my 4.4 tdv8 would be much more economical than the 4.0 v8 in the p38
how wrong i was
My average trip shows around 28, but it's about 20% over optimisticI'm averaging 22 on the trip computer, when you take the tax and maintenance costs into consideration it'd be about 300 quid a year more to run a 4.2 for me. Pennies over 12 months
It's costing £20/tank more than in the summer!Look at it, who cares how much juice it needs
Cleaned for mot ( equivalent) tomorrow.
