Just a few points. Air contains roughly 78% nitrogen, so when inflating your tyres you are getting mainly nitrogen anyway. Many of the benefits claimed of nitrogen could be achieved by using dry compressed air from a good compressed air system. Its the moisture in the air that causes most...

A light greasing of the bolt thread reduces the required torque to achieve the same tension. The tension value is what you're really looking for when tightening a bolt; too loose, and the parts move, but too tight, and the bolt stretches. Designers of bolts usually asssume that a bolt will be...

Car air con compressors consume about 5 KW (6 HP) of energy when running. This equates to about 2mpg on your average fuel consumption. Obviously the smaller the engine the greater effect. As previously stated the compressor has an electro-magnetic clutch so it won't be running continously and...

:sign_omg: Not sure it is totally necessary to provide a picture. Nevertheless, you don't seem to be exactly folically challanged in that area.

Mine is part of a nick name - as in Buzz Lightyear. Apparently I look like him! And no I don't wear the costume and helmet, that would just be very sad. Anyway, has anyone seen my laser cannon as I'm off to defend the Universe.

I have a Superchip fitted to my 2.5 TDI and I have had no problems with it for nearly 40K miles. It has made the engine smoother, more responsive with better torque throughout the rev range and very little increase in mpg - I'm well happy. As has been said previously, a lot depends on the...

Greetings fellow A6 ers. Count me in as well.

The forties...........In the prime of your life assuming the midlife transition (or crisis) hasen't taken hold which it hasen't in my case - yet.

Seems a good deal. Have just been quoted £75 fitted for those exact tyres. Decided to get Goodyear F1s though at £72 fitted.

Both rocker cover gaskets leaked when I first got the car (35K miles)so had them replaced under warrenty. Apart from that I can't help, I see that you have already changed them anyway.

I have had a Superchip installed in mine. cost about £500 and gives about 35BHP increase. As well as the extra power, the engine response is more smooth and progressive. There have been no reliability problems with the car after 3 years apart from when the MAF started playing up which I then...

[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] the engines will move the plane forward [/ QUOTE ] That's where your wrong because the plane won't move other than over the belt as it says "speed sensing" so there will be no airflow over the plane. [/ QUOTE ] The original question states the belt ''senses the speed...

The only thing stopping the plane moving forward is the friction of the wheel bearings. No matter how fast the belt is moving the thrust of the engines will move the plane forward providing sufficient air flow and lift to make the plane fly.

All the planes engines have to do is overcome the rolling resistance of the tyres and friction of the wheels bearings. The planes engines should easily be able to overcome this and as previously stated the plane should fly.

Had mine Superchip'd a couple of years ago by Autotechnics in Gillingham, Dorset. Very pleased with it and had no problems.
