Different from JKM's figures - down on bhp, but up on torque!

Oh and Nick said it needs a new N75 valve or solenoid whatever!
Which on a Mk4 is really easy to change but on a Passat a complete pain in the arse! :angry:

Oh I just remembered, was on 95ron unleaded this time whereas at JKM it was on super!
So does the ordinary give more torque? :grin:

Done those jobs today!

That N75 valve is a pig to do! But now sorted.

Also did an oil and filter change.

Had a hard blast down to Gatwick in very early hours!
Main reason for that was a diversion at the Bracknell/Ascot junction which meant I had to go back down the M3 to next junction of and back on again.

Ummmmm I can say what speed I did to catch up time again but the mpg only went down to 27 which I was very surprised with!
Seems faster I go the more efficient the car is! :grin:

Just been driving this mostly.
Did a mini service on Saturday, just an oil and filter change.
Fitted the aero wipers I got off Boney, looks good and work great!
