TarasSobol Posted 23, April 2014 Report Share Posted 23, April 2014 I've had my new Trophy Plus for a couple of months now and loving every minute of it....except for a couple of annoying rattles from both driver and passenger sides behind the doors. Has anyone else experienced rattles (either like this or in other places) where they probably shouldn't come from? Taras. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkie86 Posted 23, April 2014 Report Share Posted 23, April 2014 Welcome and congrats. What colour did you get? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slav888 Posted 23, April 2014 Report Share Posted 23, April 2014 Cant go wrong with a Trophy+ Yeah i get the rattles and noises... Im pretty convinced that its the passenger recaro and/or the door seals... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TarasSobol Posted 23, April 2014 Author Report Share Posted 23, April 2014 Got the Lunar Grey. Regarding the rattles, there was a big one coming from the back which the dealership fixed up (door seals and lock). It's just one of those annoying things now that I can hear it....I live in St Kilda (Melbourne), loads of tram tracks and bumpy roads which just makes it worse! I'm going in one more time next week for the dealership to see if they can get rid of them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medio Posted 23, April 2014 Report Share Posted 23, April 2014 Hi mate. Good to see you signed up here. We had a chat this morning at fennel St. Hope you sort out the noise! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TarasSobol Posted 23, April 2014 Author Report Share Posted 23, April 2014 Yep - I signed up after chatting with you this morning. Geez, your Cup sounded fantastic! I'm determined to get the loudest rattled ironed out - otherwise I'll have to be cranking the stereo. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slav888 Posted 23, April 2014 Report Share Posted 23, April 2014 You wont want to be cranking the stereo. Cause its rubbish. Like, really crap. Get an exhaust instead! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diceman265 Posted 23, April 2014 Report Share Posted 23, April 2014 GOt my Trophy+ on the weekend (almost a year old) and so far so good re: rattles... What I'm struggling to understand is how we T+ owners can access/change these different engine throttle maps (besides the standard/sport modes) a) without having to purchase an aftermarket tune or if not possible... b) with a complete engine remap product such as Bluefin/Superchip (http://www.superchips.com.au/products/s ... ps-bluefin), FastChip or K-TEC's Renflash tool (http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product ... 1&appid=12) ... and if the later, which is the better product??

If you have the satnav then you basically cant. Throttle map adjustability is only available with the RS monitor as far as i know. Im not even sure an aftermarket tool would allow you to do that..

TarasSobol Posted 23, April 2014 Author Report Share Posted 23, April 2014 Mate, we really did luck out with the T+ as the sat nav overrides the accessibility re. the engine mapping...whatever option you take I'm sue it's going to cost!!

diceman265 Posted 23, April 2014 Report Share Posted 23, April 2014 I suppose we did... Oh well a stage 1 ECU tune via Bluefin or something similar may just have to be the next purchase... I'll have to get over not being able to change the throttle mapping... DOes anyone have any info/experience on which would be the better option in this regard?

Rivmeister Posted 26, April 2014 Report Share Posted 26, April 2014 Hi guys and welcome to the forum. Yeah it sucks not having the RS Monitor (2.0!) as well as the Recaro seats but you can't complain. Whichever Megane you get it's a wicked drive and soon enough you won't miss not having them. Drive it in sports mode and that's plenty of throttle sensitivity for almost all occasions. I suppose we did... Oh well a stage 1 ECU tune via Bluefin or something similar may just have to be the next purchase... I'll have to get over not being able to change the throttle mapping... DOes anyone have any info/experience on which would be the better option in this regard? Best way is to search the forum. I'll be looking to do the same once the lease and factory warranty are up. Here's one of the threads which may help: http://www.ozrenaultsport.com/bb/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=21333&hilit=bluefin+vs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
