Re: fuel issue :/
they vary a bit, although i would take it easy till you get the fuel sorted.
ideal situation is get it mapped for 95 ron, anything else is winging it.

Re: fuel issue :/
you'll loose some power because of it, but if you can only get the fuel its better to have a bit less go but safe go rather than risk the engine.

Re: fuel issue :/
Thanks il keep that in mind, but I wont be able to get anything like vpower it was here for maybe 7 months on shell and it was gone as quick as it came, so im gessing getting it remaped and trying to put more power into it is kind of pointless

All maxol unleaded in the lower half of Ireland is maxol e5 and is 100 Ron. Get it mapped for this of you can get it locally. E5 contains 5% ethanol and will work far better than 95 in a scoob
