DSM10000 Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Hi I just got this, so I'm sure I'll be writing about it. It's a 2014, and it's more quicker than I expected; also, the sports display may reach 320bhp at times; I previously had an x1, and the sports metre appeared true. Is the large blue callipers with m logos on the vehicle an upgrade? Do you think the sports metre is accurate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skd884 Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 if you put the VIN into mdecoder, it will tell you the original specs, such as a bigger brake kit, and you might be able to time the 0-60 or 60-100 times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Screwdriver_1 Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 You may compare performance characteristics on fastestlaps.com and determine the horsepower by inputting the registration number into parts sites like autodoc.co.uk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSM10000 Posted June 20, 2023 Author Share Posted June 20, 2023 Hi Both sources state that it has 258 horsepower. My bum, though, tells me there's more Does 320 horsepower on the sports computer always equal Stage 1 320 bhp? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSM10000 Posted June 20, 2023 Author Share Posted June 20, 2023 Is there a way to save the car's navigation data? There will be a recall soon, and all the data on it will be deleted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Screwdriver_1 Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Ignore the recall; it is not mandatory. It's a 9-year-old automobile, so whatever the recall is for, it's a little late in my opinion. The majority of them are because manufacturers' corporate backsides have been kicked since the VW emissionsgate for lax compliance. My in-law owns a pair of VWs and was pestered by the local dealer to get them serviced, but he refused. If it's a safety recall, disregard the preceding.

DSM10000 Posted June 20, 2023 Author Share Posted June 20, 2023 Thankyou. I had an x1 before this one, and they recalled it, installed a new map, and voided the remap. They also declined my request for a vehicle loan. It doesn't specify what the recall is for, so I have no idea whether it's related to my safety. My best guess is that it's the same recall that the X1 had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skd884 Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 If it is for the airbag recall, which I believe it is, then you should have it done. The same goes for the egr cooler recall; it would be a good idea to obtain all new components for both of these recalls. Neither of these recalls need an updated electronic control unit, as long as your vehicle is of a date where the egr merely has to be reprogrammed.Nevertheless, I am certain that these are later models of automobiles.meaning 2016 and later for the purpose of that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clk320x4 Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Probably a DDE upgrade and EGR and cooler recall. Tell them to ignore the software for the cooler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
