Hi Steve,

Is that because she's done a lot of these, and it's not too good for her? That makes me a bit nervous as mines a 94k'er.  :scared:

....As you know, mine's now done 100k miles and I've lost count of how many JKM rolling road sessions! I don't see how a dyno session by someone like Jim can be harmful.

If all fluids are hot and the car is well maintained, it won't do any harm  :happy2:

As Robin says, his is fit & healthy after many a run. It's actually less harmful to your car than thrashing it through the gears on the road as there is no wind resistance on the dyno, plus the car doesn't have to haul it's own weight. . .

Its mainly because the last time I went , I was told my Dsg clutch packs were faulty by the guys at JKM. (slipping on the rollers) This was only the 2nd car they have had do this, and funnily enough, that was another Bluefin stage 2 car.. Seeing as bluefin is ment to me a less aggressive map then others, I didn't believe that this was the case, so I done a Dsg reset with VCDS, and also had the bluefin map replaced. she's now had a CAI installed, and I'm totally happy with the way she runs and have logged to check alls well, and also have ZERO slippage on the road ( infact only experienced it once before Jim suggested it) .. She's been roller'd nearly a dozen times over the years and I know a figure which she's achieving, so I'm happy with that. Car is awesome on the road, I don't want to told anything else like I have been before that I've proven wasn't true.So I'm happy to come along and spectate.

I think you already know, Robin but I will be running a Octavia VRS.

Just thought I'd mention it now as I know JKM will want to group similar cars together  :happy2:

Will be good for me to see the difference between Jabba's Dyno and JKM's Dyno as most of the current mods will be done by then (in the back of my mind I am thinking APR fuel Pump, RS4 Valve and FMIC of some sort, but undecided yet)

Look forward to putting some faces to forum names  :happy2:
