I think too much respect have been given to the Vios ECU

Last time forum got some urban legends:

-ECU very smart to adapt to driver. You want fast have to drive fast and the ECU will make your car faster
-Every batch got one R&D car. Will be especially powerful
-Cut holes in airbox to increase airflow
-Vios too powerful for Goodyear Eagle F1

Actually who is the legendary satki black vios ah? :s11::s13:

Maybe you can help us understand why do you want to reset ECU or what is it that you want to achieve? For my case, I didn't reset when I took over the vehicle at 130k km.

Will this improve the response / pick up when stationary?

Whenever I start car (NCP 42) on a cold morning theres a screeching sound from the engine; alternator belt i presume?

Changed new belts since Dec and was okay until last week the same screeching is back.
Done 20000km since and I don't think the belts should be damaged so soon?

Any experts can advise?

Hate driving sell.

No choice, drive.

Got money, change.

No money, run out.
