Talking S40 new shape recent service

Hi All

I need to report something interesting:

I have recently changed the timing belt, water pump, tensioner, idler pulley, oil filter, engine oil, fuel filter and air filter..........................conlusion


The S40 goes like a f.....ing rocket!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In my mind changing air, oil and fuel filter makes a difference to the car performance for sure.

Best Wishes

Try spraying cold water on the intercoolers front surface with a garden hose and immediately go for a drive afterwards while it's still wet! guaranteed to go supersonic!

In general, it's always good for boost and performance to keep the intercooler's surfaces clean and free of bugs, insects, leafs and..... pigeons.
