Does your rear wash wipe cause water issues in the rear passenger footwell?Mapped to 514 PS and 860Nm by MRC

No, if you have damp in the passenger side rear footwell it will be because a poor technician broke the seal in the pollen filter housing and water is leaking down into the footwell. Be careful, the gearbox TC ECU is under the front passenger seat and if it is left damp down there it will fail.I'm sure you know of the RS246 forum, but incase you don't there is 10+ years of wisdom on there.

I stopped using the rear washwipe and it appears to be better but you’d have condensation in the car (then again it was late spring into summer so probably was as you flag).
I disliked the way the box wouldn’t change up to 4th or 5th below a set speed yet it had ample torque to do so. It could easily pull 5th in 39mph but it wouldn’t engage anything above 3rd and 5th was 50mph and above only engagement.
Epically fast / brutal in the top end delivery

The gearchange issue is dealt with by a gearbox map which MRC do at the same time as the ECU map. It enables 4th and 5th to be used at any speed.I stopped using the rear washwipe and it appears to be better but you’d have condensation in the car (then again it was late spring into summer so probably was as you flag).

I only kept it a year and that was my plan from the off 12 months only and use it inbetween services with fingers crossed nothing went wrong. Mine was identical to layer cake colour but light interior leather.
I used it as a daily bought on 100k put c20k on it and had fun. But made good friends with fuel stations..... back when fuel was very high.
