INteresting, time for a remap

Looks like the 100RON Shell V-Power fuel the rest of Europe has had for some time (saw it in 2003 in Germany) is coimg here, rolling out from August to September UK wide.

I must admit I would be happier if I knew I could travel around the UK not having to plan my fel stops by selected Tesco's stores!!

Tesco is still the closest for me, but might even change to regularly refulling at Shell if the fuel is good. If it really is 102RON not just 100, it should be. Having the car mapped on 99RON would turn into a much more practical decision.

If anyone finds some official links, get them shared. Love the news, but it's a bit hearsay at the moment.

have not seen it about i will check at my local shell, but like the scooby thread says birmingham is a little slow of the mark we don't have tesco 99 yet

by looks of it i'm getting mapped for 99 if this comes available

Shell V-Power was released UK wide yesterday. The event was marked by Felipe Massa driving his F1 car and Loris Capirossi and Troy Bayliss riding their bikes outside Shell Centre in central London. The fuel is, unfortunately, only 99 ron...... Shame!

Better than nothing and better than Optimax. I can now go more than 100 miles in any direction from home and not worry if I'll have enough fuel to get back!

I shall fill up from an empty tank & log my CF's - compare to the old optimax!

I think you also need to clear your fault codes to get an instant result. This also clears adaptions on the fueling.

[ZeroK66]

How do ya do this Paul? I dont have any fault codes...

[Paulm]

dont think it matters if you have any or not just hit the clear button then go and look at number 30 or 31 cant remember which one and your lambda adaption should read zero (no pun intended )
