·Well my new engine is almost run in now (1700 miles, I will wait until 4000 miles before getting anywhere near to max revs). I did notice on the odd occansion while running in that I did get a few fuel cuts (no more than half a dozen at around about 4000rpm). I have had my E6 back from its first engine service (1500 mile/18000 mile service) and I have noticed that it is totally fuel cut free!
The question is why?
I know it is nothing to do with the air temp/humidity as whenever I got a fuel cut I always made a mental note of the outside air temp and the conditions (rain or dry). Since the service I have had no fuel cuts in similar outside conditions, in fact I have increased my self imposed rev limit to 5000rpm so in theroy it should be having more trouble in the same conditions?
The only change is obviously it now will have proper oil in the sump instead of thinner run-in oil and it has a new air-filter (part of the 18000 mile service, I thought they would have stuck a new air-filter in with the new engine!)
I maybe tempting fate and find a fuel cut tommorrow (I have tried to provoke a fuel cut but with no effect), it just seems weird to me! Does the new oil have any bearing on the lack of fuel cuts (I don't see how?) I must admit though I think they disconnected the battery when it was being serviced (the radio lost its presets) so perhaps the reset ECU has sorted it out? Perhaps the new air-filter has something to do with it although the old one wasn't bad?
I just can't believe that my car is sorted once and for all!
No fuel-cuts and no warped discs due to the Dragon set-up, I just need to decide if I can live with the SQUEALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!
