BenG, i got told that our cars should try to do a wheelspin when standard and when remapped go absolutely nuts? how true is this as my car dont even attempt to spin... i think im finding it slow because ive gone from a golf 1.8t aum remapped to this pd150 lol.
I think it would have been hard to spin the wheels in the dry pre-remap. Car felt pretty sluggish generally in any gear above 3rd, despite putting out the rated power/torque.
It was possible in the wet when i got the car but then it had ditchfinders fitted which were pretty appalling - like banana skins. The car has loads of traction now with decent tyres fitted
Post remap I'm sure wheelspinning would be easy with 300lbft torque but I've not tried as I'm hoping to keep using the standard clutch and DMF a while longer
The transmission really does not like hard acceleration from low revs - much below 2000rpm - though. I've inadvertently done it a couple of times and a severe thumping from the DMF and clutch smells result - not recommended... I have to drive around the transmission's shortcomings to a degree, which is slightly annoying as the engine could clearly deliver good torque at
lower revs than I am able to use for fear of screwing the clutch/DMF.
If you've got the cash I'd go for an uprated clutch from the likes of Sachs and a new DMF. Not sure how good the single mass flywheels are for the Leon, or whether SMFs cause more problems than they solve when fitted to cars designed for DMFs.
But I guess that wasn't your question
