I wonder if the average punter could tell the difference in engine power between a V6 and V6S.<br /><br />I have a V6 (non S). If you fancy a drag race somewhere remote, let me know. <img src="http://www.ftypeforums.co.uk/images/converted_files/smileys/smiley2.gif" border="0" align="middle" />
<blockquote>Nobody seems to be that bothered Geoff. Lets just get ours sorted. Will increase the resale value when we come to sell. We can add "runs at a true 375BHP unlike other V6s models for sale"</blockquote><br>True!<br>It seems quite bizarre that no-one seems to be bothered about it. Especially considering what we have learned since ours came to light.<br>
I am intrigued, but not really annoyed by the idea. Bought the f for the looksnoise,not the power (which really isn't anything special even if all ponies are present). Plus I've always thought manufacturers overstate so also not surprised. Seemingly im not alone.<br /><br />I would like to know what jaguar say in the end though - esp as it seems their customer service is not always all you might expect from a premium brand...<br /><br />Jess

Its the same kind of thing. If a company says their product is x, you expect the product to be x, or the company should expect repercussions. There is overstating BHP and downright lieing, a difference of 40BHP is a hell of a lot, ome people spend thousands to get that kind of a gain in power to their cars. I and I think I can also speak for geoff, would not have bought the car if we knew it only had 335 BHP, I would have probably gone for the V8, or another car altogether. As for Jaguar customer service, the dealership have been great, but Jag HQ seem to be dragging their heals. Eachtime the dealership asks them a question it seems to take a day before they get an answer. The dealership I feel would like to take a more logical approach to diagnosing the problem, where as Jag HQ are getting them to check the air filters and spark plugs! I suggested to the dealership that they put a 6 and another 6S on the rollling road to see what results came in. They were not allowed to. It appears that Jag like to take the more expensive route in diagnostics. I'm hoping they have a plan. As if come tuesday I am not getting any feedback I think I will be seeking legal advice.<edited><editID>Bambou</editID><editDate>2015-06-21 00:42:48</editDate></edited>
No but I might overlook a missing acre on a farm, if it was well known farms always overstate acerage and I'd only bought it to get the farmhouse 
Seriously though I do get your point, just thought you might prefer some feedback to silence, as you were pointing out how quiet the thread was. Jess
Seriously though I do get your point, just thought you might prefer some feedback to silence, as you were pointing out how quiet the thread was. JessWhat fuel you guys using ? My mate had his Porsche 911 4S tested two weeks apart, one with Asda fuel and then after 3 tanks fuels run through with Shell Nitro-plus. he did this as he was so disappointed with the first test which showed 357bhp (book states 400bhp), the tester asked him about the fuel and so he came back two weeks later, with the shell he achieved 392bhp, same car, same test rolling road. This was the calculation taking into account transmission and rolling road losses.<div><br></div><div>So it is just a thought ! Quite often people spend a fortune trying to get 10% more power, when all you really need to do is use the correct fuel.</div><div><br></div><div>This might be of interest;</div><div>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTaBngvsPrc</div><div><br></div><div>food for thought !</div><div>Jamie</div>

I Used high octane fuel, 98. This BHP problem we have is just part of a list of problems I have had with the car. It's been back to them about 5 times since I bought it in late April. I have asked for a refund, or replacement with another car, I may possibly go for the V8.
