Some info on injector cleaners, in regards to what is actually in them...

I'd do exactly what you have done ;)

Make that two of us, i'm thinking about doing the same thing and are interested in peoples opinions who have purchased said item and done tuning themselves ;)

Everything on the car still works as normal, the only thing that goes missing is the Km's travelled if the car is not started for about 6 hrs.

The loose terminals have caught me out before but no, no loose battery terminals & car starts fine. All radio stations stay where they are & don't have to reset the pin code for the radio either. I wonder, is there is a battery back-up just for the K's, that might be stuffed?

The trip computer on my 02 VX won't hold how far i've traveled. Say i've gone 400km, park the car for the night, come out the next morning and the trip computer read's 0.00km. This is giving me the ****s, any idea's??? :bang: Cheers

Clearance should be fine, got 19's. Anyone know if there is a different mounting block thats needed for the front calliper's seeing as how the disc's themselves are 320mm instead of 298mm? Looking at it, just quietly, i recon it'd make sense, but still can't find squat! Anyone care to...

What's involved in fitting the 320mm front brakes from an VZ SSZ onto a VX? Can't seem to find out if the calipers are the same or not. Only difference in the rears are that they are ventilated. Actually, stuff it, what's stopping me from bolting on the front and rear brakes from a VZ SSZ...

Calais series 2, door placard on drivers door, has tyre designated sizes:- 215/60/16 rolling dia. of 664mm 225/55/16 rolling dia. of 654mm 235/45/17 roliing dia. of 644mm It's quite legal to run 225/35/20, which has a rolling dia. of 655.5mm but you cannot run 245/35/20 which is 680mm...

The Wanli 225/35/20 has the load rating but is larger than the legal rolling diameter allowed, it's 665.5mm. Said bloke that lives with me has a VE SSV. Again, not a dig, happy for all the info i can get.

There should be 8 5mm socket head cap screws holding it on. Be carefull of the viton seal under the plenum lid. It's re-usable, recess in the plemun lid for it to sit in, but can be a bit fiddly to re-fit if you take it out. Squash it in tight from where you start to re-fit it so as to cram it...

Can you name a tyre which is legally load rated for this vehicle within the legal rolling diameter as i cannot. This is not a dig at you, the bloke that lives with me is the manager of a very well known tyre company starting with "B" and has said in the past that this tyre size/combination is...

The bolts that hold the engine cover on are not "bolts" as such. They are a stud with a spline on the under side instead of a hex-head which locate in the plenum chamber lid (Take the cover off if you can, put a nut back on, tap down on the nut gently with a hammer and the "stud" should come out...

20's are not legal in QLD from VT - VX. Rolling diameter is too great and you won't get a tyre size that is legally load rated. They will fit, but if you get caught you will get shafted.....by the :cops:

How often are you changing your oil? My VX ticked over 190,000km on the weekend, i use BP Visco 5000 (5w40 full synthetic) with filter change every 5000km, suck out tranny fluid every 20,000km, do the diff every 20,000km, suck out power steering resevior every 10,000km. I have an ever so...
