Hi all!
I recently bought a 2000 vw polo 1.4 8v. thought it would be pretty nippy but i was a little disappointed although the car is running fine.
A mate told me that the ecu actually learns how the owner drives and if some old fuddy duddy had it before me then the computer has learned that the car will be driven quite slowly. he said to disconnect the battery for about 20 minutes then reconnect it and take the car out and really go for it then let the car rest in the driveway while the ecu "learns" this new style of driving. he said afterwards the car will always be a little quicker.
Has anyone else heard of this type of thing and have you any tips if you have?
