Motorway - pitch black - empty roads.... what could go wrong?

[KieranYeh]

Yeah i just got this lovely little saxo furio, cost me a tidy sum and is a very well looked after car.
4-1 mani
px induction
straight exhaust through.
(possible remap at one point?)
anywho, thats not the problem.. i did some entusiastic speeds and stopped as it was closing in on the red
so i slowed down to 60 and noticed the engine managment light was on.. dont know if it was because the ragging or not but it just was..
why so?
its just had the mani put on so could it be a dodgey labda reading.. or?
help please and thanks :y:

[-shuggles-]

your clocks are miles out tbh

[KieranYeh]

i may have been enthusiastic saying 130.. but i hit 120 and stopped in fear :)

It feels so much quicker than my last one, but you may be right because it has vtr dials in it...

[KieranYeh]

lolzzz. welcome to sax-p.

Ha, lolz.. love it :zainy:

[craig1gk]

use a sat nav to get a more accurate speedo reading.. your clocks might show you hitting 130mph but in reality it will be more like 115, not bad for a furio

[KieranYeh]

Any ideas on the issue at hand though fellas?

[adamskiTNR]

You guessed it right. Probably the ragging and an issue with the lambda sensor. Possible blowing of the manifold gasket.

[KieranYeh]

you reckon the mani gasket blew? surely id notice something like that?
didnt sound any different..

[KieranYeh]

any more ideas?
Engine managment generally means labda then?
it looks okay but you never know..

[titchster]

Mixture of dial over compensation, mebbe a stronger engine, and mebbe a different gearbox.

Reality though, it wasn't actually doing nearly 130...

[D--R--E--W]

In in no time i was doing near on 130.
anywho, thats not the problem.. i did this and stopped as it was closing in on the red and im not that irrisponsible :)
so i slowed down to 60

:S yeah ok then lol

[KieranYeh]

:S yeah ok then lol

Haa :panic:

Youve all done it when you got your new cars :P
curiosity gets the best of me :y:

[KieranYeh]

Again the situation at hand.. please help on what the light may be.. if it is a gasket ill get a new one today.. if its a lambda sensor ill get a new one today.. and so on :y: I may go get it linked to a computer to see what the big hoo ha is, hope its not big because im skint D:

[D--R--E--W]

Haa :panic:

Youve all done it when you got your new cars :P
curiosity gets the best of me :y:

Coming home after getting the cupra, the clock seen a nice 160 and the sat nav saw 154:homme:

Keep that btween me and you though :y:

Why on earth would you post on a public forum that you where doing almost double the speed limit of a road on a public forum?

[craig180]

Km/h tbh

[rorz_vts]

can you not go to a garage and just ask someone to check with the diagnostic machine and find out that way, most places wont charge for this
