Megane Megane 275 cup s

[Darren Lomax]

I took ownership of a Megane RS 275 Cup S on Wednesday. At first i was worried id made a mistake as every time I hit a speed bump it was like hitting 3. Then yesterday I drove 130 miles along A roads down to worcester. Im still running it in but it handles like a BMW M4. buying this car has been one of the best things ive ever bought. Awesome tool. However, im supposed to be getting 37 mpg average but all I got is 31mpg. Tyres are at 2.5bar approx. Revs were kept below 2.5k. Does this mpg sound correct?

Dont sweat it , new car , new engine. New way of driving.

 

[Darren Lomax]

Suppose youre right. Just in the manual it says better mpg than my old car. Ine of the reasons i got it.

 

[Andyquadra]

don't forget its a new engine and will loosen up bit. My company hack used to do 48mpg for the first 10k, not its past 20k, I'm getting 57-60mpg

 

[T&biskits]

31mpg is about right. I have had 37, but that was in cruise control on a long drive to the `ring` doing about 70-80mph. Rarely see 37, 31 is about right for a mixture of driving. Tyre pressures seem a bit high, Should be about 2.1 bar front & 2 on the back.

 

[Darren Lomax]

Just reset the average mpg meter an went for a drive, got 36mpg. That is slightly better than the T4. Its an awesome machine, one of the best Ive driven. Cant wait for a track day once its run in.

Nice colour

Ooooh, I like. I want one.

 

[Darren Lomax]

at first the ride was rock hard but once you are at the limit it seems to change its dynamic and becomes soft and predictable. Ive no regrets, if you can get one, get one.

Looks lovely

 

[Big Steve - Raider]

Luscious! :ax:

 

[Dave_gtt]

Love the colour, suits that shape of Megane better than any other colours imho.

 

[Darren Lomax]

Agreed.

Is it possible to retrofit the R.Monitor? I didnt get it as I thought the Android Torque app would do the same thing but it cant talk to some of the sensors. I cant get MAF, MAP or Boost. Cant get instant mpg either which is annoying and the trip computer doesnt offer it either.

Have you tried calibrating or adding in some of the sensor codes to get it ? I was missing some on the r26 but added them in as needed.

 

[Duncan Grier]

Do not all half decent spec cars have average and instant mpg, miles left etc? Maybe worth reviewing manual to see if its under some French humour way of toggling through

Seems strange it would not have it been such a premium model?

If it does 20mpg average I am happy in a performance car tbh. 30 for a derv love bus

Both always have to be Turbo

[Darren Lomax]

any idea what the PIDs would be? do I search for them or something? I once tried searching for PIDs using Torque and it was gonna take about 5 hours and if you turned your car off you had to start again. impossible.

 

[andybond]

Google should be able to advise on the PID

 

[Darren Lomax]

Good thinking. Wouldnt have thought of that one
