SELOC had a rolling road day and the figures are available here http://www.saabscene...c/SELOCruns.xls

On the FFZ tab is a vx220 with miltek and AMD chip. The seloc login name is PaulB. I think our Paulb's car plate also ends with FFZ :unsure:

However the point i am raising is that this vx's figures from Emeralds RR were 149bhp and 156lb/ft ..... :blink: :(

Anyone know anything about it???

Just checked the seloc events log and it def was PaulB.... Is there still a problem with the car?? As you ran 170bhp at AMD.... :unsure:

Paul's car went into Hartwells with an electrical fault which they initially diagnosed as an ECU fault and recommended a replacement. Standard procedure with and ECU error code is to re-flash the memory back to standard which they did. They then discovered there was a wiring short whch caused the error code. Sadly Paul didn't manage to get it back to AmD before the RR meet (no one knew they re-flashed the ECU) so he did the RR day as standard. A bit of a surprise really.

It was runing very rich but until AmD get to look at it they don't know what it is.

We don't actually know that Hartwells reflashed the ECU. That is Thorney's/AmD's hypothesis but until they actually look at my car we are in the dark. All I know is that it felt slower than it should at Bedford. I have no doubts about Emerald's results as the rest of the cars were pretty much spot on. Hopefully AmD will ring me soon and tell me they are ready to finish the work on my car.
