Is it just my Terrano or is it normal?

Is it just my Terrano or is it normal for loss of boost when left foot braking, it is as if the boost is cut. Any ideas anyone?

 

[rayf3262]

It is normal, the ECU knows when the brakes are applied, so cuts fuelling.

i guess this is just on the new ones?

 

[bonesXU1]

I thought it would be something like that, next question is can it be overridden?

Just have a look at the pedal switch, you can probably bridge the wire if it works on an open circuit or tape it down if there are 2 seperate switches

But why?????? they aint a rally car:nenau

 

[96terrano]

just don't left foot brake :lol

 

[bonesXU1]

One reason is that after going through water I have a brake that I know is going to be there when I put my foot on the brake and don't put it in the ditch.
And on the road you can put the weight forward into the corner to give grip and then put your foot down out of the corner rather than having to wait 5 seconds before you have any power again. I am not a big fan of fly by wire throttles give me a mechanical system any day, dead simple is best.

You can ofcourse by pass the brake switch but it'll knock out the brake lights. I agree left foot braking is a pain on the TDi, that's another reason I love my Trol, especially now I've done my brake bias lever :sly

I do this on the Picasso, and it doesn't like it, Engine fault light comes on, and it looses power.. But Mav 2.7 td is fine.

It is not really a good idea to bypass it,

I've got my Victor Meldrew head on guys. I can see a need for this kind of braking on a racing track but seriously on public roads. Surely this is a dangerous method of driving? I know I'm going to get shouted down for this but this is seriously dangerous driving on public roads.

I dab the brake before cornering to transfer the weight to the front and load up the front corner as i go into a fast bend.i did this naturally as a youth before I realised what I was doing just common sense as the weights where you need it. Last thing you want is sudden weight transfer when cornering fast

Agreed Jim.

I only do it to dry off the brakes after water, and boy... It's most days this year:doh:doh

So it's not just me then.:thumbs
Sudden weight transfer is just grate on Manx roads in a 4x4, my old driving instructor who use to teach advanced driving never had any problems with it.
Next thing 'Victor' will be telling me I can't cut across the white lines.:naughty

If I am trying to get out of a sticky situation off road and need to do a bit of heal and toe to stop me from putting the thing on it's side I'd like to be in control of my vehicle not it in control of me, I hate turbo lag and now electronic throttle lag too now I'd consider that to be a danger on the roads. Wouldn't you?? :nenau

LIKE :thumbs
I did my advanced driving test too and have raced a bit. Left foot braking and T&H proper skills and in the right place make a box of a car a tidy little mover. Use the road boys :sly
Lines are gay :naughty
