Hi there, I drive a Saga flx and my question to you will be, my car gets to 185 km/hour in fourth gear, but as soon as I go into fifth, it loses power why is this and how can I fix the problem? It is also heavy on fuel, 7L to 100 km. Could it be that I need to remap the ECU or might it be due to the stock intake? The engine is stock standard.

Hello,

The first thing we should do is run the codes to see if anything comes up that will point us in the right direction.
