    Exclamation VS Clubsport Running Rich

    Why?

    Exhaust isn't spitting fuel & apparently extra vapor lines have been added to the fuel tank.
    New pump & filter - 6 months old.
    Chews through petrol.

    had the same problem with my vr v8 when i first bought it, I was filling it up every 3rd day (no lie) and wasnt driving it hard or anything, I did Plugs,leads, rotor cap & button, IAC valve and also TPS. just did a service as well and it was running absolutely perfect. before I did the IAC & TPS it was till drinking a fair bit of petrol but once i did the IAC & TPS seemed to do the trick. Let us know how you go !

    i had similar issue with mine. i replaced my ignition module and cleaned out induction system with carby cleaner and instantly shaved an extra 1.5 ltr per 100 off my fuel consumption. oh and got more power back
    Stuntmanmike: At least he didn't advise for me to check the head light fluid and bring it in to tune the radio...
