saxo vtr abit slow

[shaun-vtr]

Right my little vtr just seems slow. Gears seem to long and doesnt really go past 100mpj. Has a induction kit cat back stainless and a decat. Is there anything i can do just to make it tjay little bit quicker. Have been told the vts aint that reliable and the vtr are the better ones for everyday useage

[martin1985]

i got a vtr didn't like the power that much so changed the engine to a vts and its better in every way, gets even more power when tuned!

what you mean aint that reliable? just as reliable as any other saxo

[shaun-vtr]

Few people have said the vts suffer with alot of faults head gaskets electrical faults big ends etc. Not sure if its true but does kinda put u off when people say stuff.

[Ali123]

not true atall mate

[shaun-vtr]

What are the common faults with the vts engine really if any. I use the saxo everyday have abit of a heavy right foot. So want to be as reliable as possible

[Ali123]

nothing mate, theyre just as reliable as any other saxo engine aslong as its obviously looked after!

i've put a vts engine into my quicksilver, the engine was on 105k when i put it in and it drives beautifully! even with a fair bit of stick every now and then

[b63_vts]

try giving your vtr a service might help

[Gandi699]

a 16v engine shouldnt be more unreliable than an 8v. A vtr in good health should pull more than an indicated 100mph too

[shaun-vtr]

Its had a full service bar spark plugs.

[-shuggles-]

Are you sure it is a vtr engine? Just incase somebody has blew up the original engine and replaced it with a lower cc engine so they can get rid of it?

[MartinObviously]

Yeah maybe someone replaced it with a furio engine. it's got loooong gears.

Anyways, you need a VTS :P not any more unreliable.

Yes more of them break, but that's down to owners giving them shit from cold and not looking after them.

[DanMacca]

I had that trouble with my vtr, serviced it every couple of months, was just so under powered for what it was, just replaced it with a vts, just 16v yours mate

If your car doesn't go past 100 something is wrong try doing a full engine service!
