I think it has a little more left in it :twisted:
Mind you, this is GPS speed and not the speed shown on the speedometer.


Am I missing something 84.7kmh....was that uphill :lol:

In that case you have a 204hp dsg which is in another league price wise (but some are limited to 184-ish).

The 180hp is around 180-188 km/h real speed and the "new" 150hp around 178-181km/h.

I'm highly suspicious that it's limited sadly.

It will go faster if the electronics would let it.

My euro 5 125ps will hit the limiter very easily even fully loaded so god knows what it could do unleashed and the 170ps fully wound up would be mental, but I'd give it a go :roll:

Be lucky if I've done more than 50mph in mine, it's not seen a motorway yet. It is way more powerful than my previous Trafic around town, and only about 10% worse on fuel so I'm pretty happy.

What does you mk7 has to do in this forum section?
My old mk7 (2012) with sport tires lasted 12k miles without any problem. Heavy foot but not fully loaded.

Fuel consumption was around 9.**L/100km. The bigger tires compared to the trend raised the consumption by 1L/100km.

Local rare motorway?

I never had any problem but I drove both motorways and in the city.

Driving on country roads shouldn't be any issues. Just in the city might.

The euro6 uses Adblue so it's not comparable. I don't have any problem with it. 6000 miles of range.

The new euro6 engine is ten times better then the old 2.2 in driveability.

My van yesterday went for repair egr valve and some other bits (van is literally starting to fall apart at 45k miles horrible)any how i got a new 66 plate limited 130psi and what a piece of machinery.It feels faster then my (remmaped 155 to what ever it is)is quieter is better on fuel pulls from low revs,even when you shut doors feels much better now when you unlock van side lights come on there is some changes in interior that i like.There is only one thing that i do not like is that radio controls have dissappear and phone controls has move up on steereng wheel.It looks like they did step up with quality on custom but after i started experiencing problems with my i honestly do not think that i will ever buy a new one after horrible customer service.

Just got a update from ford And Of course ford being ford there is no faulty with egr valve and they can not see any history of codes because aa guy cleared (aa guy told me he can not clear it fully because it has to be done by ford) but they can find problem with discs that they are 2mm tinner then it should be at 45k is just ridicules.
