DW8 - the secret of going faster
#1
Ok I know i have a C15 which is like the pikey version of the Berlingo
but its the same lump as early ones ok?
Anyway.
I never expected an adrenaline rush when driving it but always felt
it was flat and had no get up and go
I serviced it, ripped out the EGR, CAT and all that malarkey but it didnt give it much more pep.

All thats changed

This weekend I whipped off the plastic radiator grill and sprayed it pillar box red and the bar across the back too for good measure.
The paint was 3.49 a tin but to hell with the expense I needed more power!
What a difference!
The vans never run so well, it picks up like a good un and can get up to 75 in short order, not eventually like it did before.
Not sure what the top end will be but enjoying the livelier pick up for now.

So, its red paint you need ok?
Bright red !

While I was in there I tidied up a few other things and noticed the throttle cable was 5 clicks too slack and only opening the pump about 75% and sorted that
but I reckon its the paint that did the trick
RED PAINT
