mid and engines
« on: 13 October 2009, 10:11:41 »
currently have a 2.5 v6 manual pre mod estate

205/65/15  wheels and tyres

soon to have a 3.0 lump fitted  ;D ;D :y

do i need to change the mid for one off a 3.0 to keep the readings true ?
or will they be ok  :y

( providing i keep the wheel / tyre ratio the same  :y ) 

ie  215/ 55/16 ........... 225/45/17 ............. blah blah blah

cheers   steve

havent a clue.

but it DOES know engine size and gearbox type.

guess you will get error codes / incorrect operation of some sort.

slightly related....when my ABS ECU was replaced, with a BRAND NEW one, it had no config.

this caused TC light to be always on, and also caused the car to stall when idling for about 2 minutes after starting the car if the revs werent kept up.


programming the config solved both instantly.

engine note changed as well when the config was set.

black magic at its best!
