No egos, that's why. Panda folk have nothing to prove!
Quietly capable , especially in the mud.

Err, what's a DMF?I think the DMF experience is hot n miss, some suffer, some don’t
£621.51 + VAT if bought from a franchised dealer!Err, what's a DMF?

Dual mass flywheel…just had a conversation with two folk that have had very bad experiences with Audis being charged £2500 on top of their clutch replacements…one with a ‘two point gearbox sensor’ replacement but couldn’t describe what they meant, I’ve asked to see their receipt as I’m lost on what they’ve describedErr, what's a DMF?
Might an impending failure cause resonance and noise beyond what might be expected or does failure create a different effect?And to answer the question, a DMF is a Dual Mass Flywheel. Read all about it here.
My experience is that it sends some extra vibrations through the gear change 2-3000 rpm in second and third (I expect they are still there in 4th etc but road noise takes over).Might an impending failure cause resonance and noise beyond what might be expected or does failure create a different effect?
Echoes my recent experience - apart from the cost, which is going to be 4 figures, or very close to, at best!My experience is that it sends some extra vibrations through the gear change 2-3000 rpm in second and third (I expect they are still there in 4th etc but road noise takes over).
Some report rattles but not my experience my clutch and DMF were GBP 650 installed but this was a while ago now.
I am pretty certain its not like that. The ecofunction does not seem to me to be related to fuel mapping, and its taken me a silly amount of time to understand that its a funtion of the TA VVT system as much as anything else. Mt 2019 car is so different to my 2017. The 2017 was very slow in eco and appalling on fuel altogether. The 2019 car is so good in eco I only use the power function part of the time. I have more than enough power to out run our 69hp 1.2s even when these are driven at full chat. Eco off and the TA becomes brisk and is capable of very swift overtakes on main roads.I do, OH says she do, but a remap to move normal to eco, and normal to more power would be nice

Clearly the engines can be remapped by specialists and I have read at least 1 good review. As the 4x4 has obvious hand;ing limits especially on winter tyres I have decided that this and the TA system being something that is probably a bit of a wild card in any upgrade to err on the side of caution and not mess with it.
You could talk to these guys who seem to have a good write up
https://www.celtictuning.co.uk/ They clain to be able to do something for a reasonable cost.
Please note you MUST ONLY ever use a 4WD rolling road to test power and all four wheels must be involved at the smae time or you risk damage. There arnt many about and they are as they say kinexpensive.
Simplicity and commonality over fitment across the range?Yes its tempting as it raises the game to what the 90HP version produced so shouldnt overstress things. I have read nothing to suggest the 90HP engine has any performance advantage at all though. And you have to ask why they dropped it......
Sir, you gest. They cant even use the same radiator or filler cap!!Simplicity and commonality over fitment across the range?
Great, I will be very interested indeed in the result. Make sure they only use a 4 wheel dynamometer. Im pretty sure they made the distinction and knew about tis when I spoke and that would have been 7 years ago now.Funny you should post today @The Panda Nut - I enquired last week and booked Celtic this morning, I’ll see how things go and report back when it’s done in a few weeks.
Not sure they offer my vehicle on the dyno, it’s a map they come out and apply. They assure me all testing and tolerances are with vehicle’s capability, suck it and see. I tried to find a 4x4 tuning service but couldn’t wade through the choices as most did not have a dyno when I dug deeper.Great, I will be very interested indeed in the result.

Fiat used to do a 90HP version. There is no evidence itmsade any difference to performance though any where I can find.This is why I’m asking really, as there’s a few other considerations with the 4x4 system… you can’t just apply same 500 options to it I guess…
