Tuning a Mégane 3
Posted: Wed Apr 19, 2017 5:24 pm
Hey, guys. I'm new to this forum - and, indeed, owning Méganes (I've had a Renault before) - and I'm pretty pleased with what I've bought: a 2009 (59-reg) Coupe, 1.6 with just under 32,000 on the clock.
So far, it's ticked all the boxes: It's more reliable than the (awful) Corsa it replaced; not too bad on the fuel (beating the 27.7 mpg I get out of my Hyundai); and, so far, I've had no problems with it - even when I'm averaging 100 miles a day.
I'm just wondering, though - and it's not a big issue, but just something that I'd like to explore a bit - is there any way that I can safely squeeze a bit more juice out of the car? 110 BHP is more than sufficient - but are there little things that can be done (ECU reset, air intake, etc.) to give it a little more oomph?
Like I said, it's not a biggie - but I'm just curious!
Thanks in advance!
