fuel usage.....cant be right or can it?

[Henerz]

Can you list all the sensors you have changed, and whether they were new or used...
and roughly how much for each one...

thanks

sensors were sourced from a self service wreakers (u pull it), cost me a dollar to get in, and u can figger the rest:whistling

temp sensor - 1 dollar, searchd the wreaker over a 2hour period looking for the best and i found one which as brand spanking new,
o2 sensor same as temp,
CAS second hand dissy with warrnty for 4 months -88bucks
set the AFM to 382ohm
ACC valve same as the sensors, clean second hand
timing stock none of that advance BS
i run on standerd fuel 92ron (no pingin)
every now and then run a tank of injector cleaner 2
oil change every 5000 including a new oil filter every time

then i got mods

I took my vs exec down to Bundaberg,QLD at easter time this year (about 10 hours drive) and i was getting over 800 k's with a 59 litre tank. the car was in a fairly average condition, with the only mod being a new exhaust

thats a vs though, theres a slight difference, 9L/100 k's seems very good 2 me even 4 a vl in the city, i get bout 11 in my vk but thats a less economical motor, mind u thats not granny footing it either, the extractors made a fair difference 4 me (was about 13 b4)

anyway sounds like ur engine is running sweet and i hope u keep having a good run with it

 

[mynuvu]

I'm just saying if my beat up vs can do it, a vl should be able to get up there as well

 

[VKStevo]

ok but vs's normally get a fair bit better economy than vl's though

 

[mynuvu]

hey stevo i was just having a look at your car in the other thread. noice. hows it going for you

 

[VKStevo]

woohoo signatures working

yeh she's a great car, just wanna get something newer though

but i guess i cant really afford it so im gonna do up the old vk a bit 4 now til i earn some decent money

 

[mynuvu]

yeah cool bud. i love those vk's, used to have 1 a few years ago. take a bit of maintenance but they're worth it in the end.

 

[mag]

that would be 205/65R15's y u ask?

and slapnuts the motor in the vl is completey rebuilt and all new sensors so its basicaly running at perfect performance, right?
so must mean mines is good condition, could b because all new sensors too:w00t:

Just to see if they big wheels,:thumbsup: it'll change ur speedo reading..
