Highline Features + Climate Control
Empty weight data: 1313 kg + accessories (estimated climate adds around 30 kg), Tires: 205/55-16
Ulfs's transit test revealed the following approximately.
All tests were conducted using biodiesel :

2000 - 4000 Revolutions 3rd Gear Original Condition approx. 9 sec.

2000 - 4000 revolutions 3rd gear with Speedbuster box approximately 8 seconds, maybe a little more or less.

I don't know exactly if the box is set up optimally (self-set), have you had similar values with the same vehicle?
The Vmax is at 200km/h according to the speedometer, with the box, RPM is at 4400 revolutions.
Thank you for your answers

[Translating...]hab auch nen Highline G IV mit Climatronik und 215/45 17 rundum.
Hatte aber beim Ulftest bessere Werte:

2000-4000rpm in 8,3 sec.

mit 10cent Tuning

2000-4000rpm 6,8 sec

(alles Mittelwerte, Messung wurde jeweils merhfach durchgeführt)

Hei!

A3 mit Chip 2.000 bis 4.000 U/min 5,3 Sekunden, bei frostigen Wintertemperaturen sogar 4,7 Sekunden (ehrlich, mindestens 20 Messungen). Ich habe leider keine Daten ohne Chip.

Hi

According to the DZR, your car should be able to shift from 2000 to 4000 RPM in approximately 7.7 seconds when the weight is 1350 kg with normal power.

Estimated 5% performance loss due to biodiesel results in approximately 8.2 seconds.

2% gradient or 40 km/h headwind or 150 kg more weight or further 8% loss of power (or a combination of all of these) will increase the time to approximately 9 seconds.

What might be true now, you must determine for yourself.

In case of poor performance, it is recommended to check/replace the diesel filter, as they tend to clog more frequently in organic fuel systems compared to standard diesel.

The Vmax works with Box and Biodiesel, but it's okay. If it is "real," meaning measured at the level in the calm, then the reason for the somewhat slow passage is probably not due to a lack of performance.

The torque loss is very significant with biodiesel. Based on my subjective estimate, it's likely much higher than 10%. I've personally experienced this myself. Vmax was fine, but the Nm were missing.

Best regards, Uwe
