Turbo V's ATMO

I have owned both and found the ATMO's performance a little disapointing. It still is quick don't get me wrong but it just hasn't got that kick that a turbo charged car gives you.

If I had to make the decision on both to run as an everyday car then it would be a closer run thing but again would prefer the Turbo.

Resale on an ATMO is harder as well, it took me nearly 3 months to sell mine and only had 1 person to view it :shock: it was a good colour and price as well!!

Good luck.

P.S There is a nice looking one on ebay at the moment:

Mr. Gentleman,

You never know it might work for mine!
Did you mean you earthed it on purpose??
Also where is the flow metre or the conneection that it talks about in the manual?

remind me again - why do we love these cars??[/quote]

As I said above, because we are all barking. I drove mine yesterday and it still hits the spot and it looks great and I can actually reach the pedals and it has nice seats and girls like it and it handles like a dream and it doesnt try to kill me if I make a mistake but lets me get it back on track and and ............... :roll:
Driving an A610 is just so sublime.

I havent got an atmo to hand, so I can't!

If you look on the front of your engine, left hand bank, there is a silver round theremistor (about 13mm dia..), with two spade terminals on it, on a metal bracket.

I didnt do it on purpose. When I pulled off one of the spades, the wire came out from it, and touched the steel bracket its mounted into for a second..

NOTE : I bear no responsibility for your actions! :lol:

edit: depending on the car, the sensor may be just above the water pump to the left side, under the air filter..
