Hi,Is the 306GTI6 ECU self learning ? If it is will it work well enough to get the most out of using high octane V-power fuel ?

To an extent, yes. If you've been using 95 RON and switch to 97 or even 99 RON it'll take a few tankfuls to adapt but they have a built in margin for adapting air/fuel ratios to suit  ________________________________________ Bye bye Sundance Kid |

Although mine seemed to run better on tesco99 I'd just use 95 RON. I doubt it is worth the few pence a litre extra. ________________________________________ Ex SC-6Now in a Megane R26 |

I know when using the better stuff like V power the head tends to be cleaner on the inside, compared to using the usual unleaded.I read somewhere the 6 has to be set up to take the high octane type of unleaded ?

V Power etc seemed to last longer, but not enough to warrant the extra expense. The only one I used to use consistently was Waitrose 97 as that was only 3p more than the 95.I'd have thought an ecu reset with a full tank of fresh V Power might make a difference, but we aren't talking turbo car difference. Guess it depends on if the ECU adjusts fuelling/advance on WOT as it doesn't use the lambda at that point iirc. ________________________________________ Nothing to see here |

not certain how the ecu behaves on WOT, it would pick up knock/det and retard the ignition if there's not enough fuel going in on the WOT map.thats my understanding of it anyway  ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |
