A New Guy

[F6 UTE]

Hi

I guess one thing to look for is the Average litres/100klms on the trip computer. It is a long time average and can't be faked. Mine on average is round 14.5 lts/100klms. That is with the occassional blat around town.

So if it has 18 litres/100klms and the guy is telling you that he only drives it to the shops and to church on sundays....I'd think again

I'm talking a standard (2003...38000klm) T with just CAI.

Hope this helps.

Cheers

Easily fudged..............

Disconnect the battery, re-connect after 5mins.. then go for a long cruise with cc on.. it'll drop your average down a mile......

Easier fudged - as XRT UTE said, but just hit the reset button instead of disconnecting the battery.

Call me stupid but I hit my reset button and it doesn't reset anything on the left hand side. Only the Odometer A & B on the right hand side.

Which reset button are you guys talking about so us dummies know.

Get an auto..... Simple..... And make plans to keep it for only 2 years cause if you hang around here you will want to get the best out of it which I might add is about 300 kw at the wheels......

You have made and excellent dicision to get a T however make sure the colour is Mercury Silver cause they are the best and will hold the greatest resale value because there owners are people of discerning quality.....

The trip computer button. The same button that changes modes on the trip computer. Hold it in a few seconds and it will reset the trip computer function that is currently displayed.

Am I the only one that reads the manual?

Welcome to the forum Will, obviously you are a man of great taste, and a man that understands where true power comes from. All you need to do to complete the trifecta is choose the right colour (*Cough* Winter White*Cough*)Happy to talk to you further on what you need to do to get around the weak points of the car, so you can get out and get some serious power Otherwise if you spend some time ready various posts (18 beers should suffice) you will get a pretty good summary of what you need to look for and do.

Good Luck

but white silver blue (light or dark) or the purple would be nice as well

And if you hold it down until it beeps twice it will reset all of the trip functions – I learnt that from the manual :o
