another thing ive noticed is that is doesnt do that hesitation thing when its just been started up that somewhere on here said it needed a software update to fix

after another few days of driving it i can't believe the difference its like a different car, feels more responsive with a real hard kick at 5.5k and i now even think it sounds better too !

you would think i worked for BP or something but i promise i don't lol

its deffo worth a try if your currently running 99 vpower just to see if it makes a difference with your car too :-)

Italian service relates to thrashing the nuts out of your motor :FIREdevil:

BP is convenient for me too
Worth resetting the learned fuel trims too.
