Hello everyone,
I recently started having issues with an OTR and dyno tune done to my 2015 VF SV6 and was hoping to draw upon your expertise, to help me find the issue.
I've recently noticed that the car is acting sluggish, has a strong fuel smell from it's oil, has a rough idle at times, has an egg smell from the exhaust at times, and also has a rattling sound upon acceleration. I initially thought that the increased air had caused the cat to break off and cause the rattle.
But after speaking to a mechanic friend. They said that the issue is probably a restriction caused by having the stock cats. He said that the stock cats are restrictive and since the exhaust is not leaving the engine, it builds up within it causing fuel not to be burnt and the tappets to work harder, hence the rattle sound and fuel in the oil.
I'll be taking the car back to the tuner for them to look over. When i spoke to them, they assured me that the fuel smell in the oil is normal, which i don't think is correct?
If anyone is able to point me in the right direction, i'd highly appreciate it.
Thank you.
Other details:
- Always used 98 fuel
- Car was serviced by Holden prior to OTR and Tune in March this year
- OTR and Tune was done in June
