Beware newbie dumb ass questions

Hi Ive had a good look round the site, it has answered alot of questions already. Just got a few left 1, Does a ECU remap make a noticable diffrence to the MPG (its says on parts website that it improves it) 2, Ive had a look at my top mount (2.0 T petrol) and it has split but not all the way though, is it worth replacing it and if it is do powerflex offer a poly upgraded one. 3, Ive read that fitting a 5mm spacer to the front wheels makes a diffrence to the turning circle, but is it enough of an improvement to justifly fitting them just for this reason. Sorry if these get asked alot I have done a search but it didnt quite answer them.

The remaps tend to offer a slight improvement in mpg when cruising etc, but that is usually more than balanced by the extra use of the loud pedal when having fun :D As to the top mount, yes there is a powerflex one. 70 series S60

Thanks buddy i think ill replace it on spec just so i know it wont fail.

Hi, Maybe also consider a strut brace as well as changing the mount.. Aids and improved handling so much.. Des. . . ;)

"Maybe also consider a strut brace as well as changing the mount" On a P2 70 series or a S60? They have the engine bar as standard. All you can get for them I think is the IPD kit to stiffen the mountings of the factory bar. No such thing as a strut brace for them from what I've seen.

Hi Des i have a s60 with a strut brace is this not standard? Interested in these threads as i also have a strange intermittent knock Cheers Steve

Is this is what you are after.
