Question - Legacy 2001 GTB eTune

Post by nickmar »

Just bought this and heard stories about fuel in the Uk

Should I use 95 or 98Ron

Does anyone know the actual performance figures for this model?

It's slower in a straight line than my chipped Volvo V70R so I suspect I need a ECU upgrade

Any advice on where to go for one in the UK?

thanks

Hi Nick, use 98 RON, the better the gas you use, the longer your engine will last and the higher your performance numbers. As for chips and such for your car, you may want to try contacting DemonTweakz or Prodrive over there in the UK for some information. Other then that, maybe some of our UK mates will pipe up with some info. :)

Hi Nickmar.

Definitely use 98RON. It's worth checking with a local dealer. I don't know where you are, but my local dealer said they get quite a few import twin-turbos in needing engine work because the owners have run them on low octane unleaded.
