Why are cossies so shit!!!
Went to the rollers to get it set up today and it was fine on the rollers.. except it wouldn't hold boost and only made 360bhp.
But when i left it started missing and played up all the way home. Changed plugs leads cap and rotor still toss. revs fine at a stand still but kangaroos like mad when driving!!!!

Its not a blunt answer its the truth , if the car isnt running right its not the cars fault is it??? its the person who set it up etc . It piss's me off when people moan how shit these cars are when really there excellent when serviced/looked after . so less of the "shit , dont say anything atall bollox.

just ring them up tell them wot its doing and if they any good they should have it back and have a second look at it to see if it any thing they have done thats the answer to this problem in my eyes

Didn't care what power it made as long as it was safe which it was and ran crisp. Just 1 of them things that 1 mile down the road it starts messing about don't think its anything to do with the set up. Just anoying as i want it running well for sunday.

If there so shit then why are they rated by many into fast road cars as one of the best tunnable engines ever made and why can people like julian godfrey and mark sheed get 800 - 900bhp out of them? and have over 600lb ft of low down useable torque? dosent sound that shiter engine to me mate

Ive had 2 cossies and my first one was shit coz it wasnt looked after by the previous owner but my 3dr was the most reliable car ive ever had, got it setup at 350bhp and it didnt miss a beat after that so i agree with the above its the tuner alot of the time

Mapping is the only complex part of a cossie, its a Sierra, with a modified pinto pig iron engine. Mapping is complex on most engines and is really only a Proffesionals job but jesus most cossies dont have Lambda control,cats,coil packs etc
If a mechanic cannot work on a cosworth, he shouldnt be a mechanic

Cosworths aren't exactly shit, but can be a bloody pain in the arse when it comes to fault finding for simple problems
