OH you waited till i went and got my manual though did you see me going out the gate  :cry:
yep that concurs with what ive got here. New golf do you know what the drivetrain loss is ? Im guesing thats the difference between the fly wheel and the wheels, is this correct. Cheers for your help ADVENTUALLY  :laugh:

I'm guessing this is to do with that app again :rolleyes:.  If you leave the % loss blank it will give you the wheel hp.  Wasn't sure about the % loss figure though :undecided:

Cheeky Tw1t!  :cool:
I'm cooking dinner for 6 people here, as well as posting on multiple forums....! Not easy!

Drivetrain loss is the friction/resistance loss from the flywheel throught the transmission to the wheels.

See here for an explanation that I'm too lazy to type it out!

PS anyone have an opinion on the new SLK range, 280/350 models?

If you ever come to Guernsey Phil, I'd take you out for a meal and a few beers mate  :wink: That also applies to any GTI forum member.

Us Channel Islanders are known for our hospitality, watering holes, and good looking/(easy) friendly ladies! Oh and tax avoidance! No VAT here chaps!

Plus being occupied by the Germans during WW2, but we dont mention that. Well apart from "Liberation Day", every May 9th the whole Island shuts down and everyone gets drunk! thats when the British Army came and rescued us!

Let me know when you come over next time Gaz, seriously I'll come pick you up. I live 10 mins away from the airport. I'd guess you were working for Aurigny, Anglo Normandy etc?

Theres a BMW/Audi/VW/Porsche and Mercedes dealer right next door to the airport, they have a R8 there at the moment.....outta my price range though!
