    Causes of poorer economy of ZB 4 cyl 2 litre petrol turbo

    Thank you for that detailed advice. I have been told years ago that I was gentle on my Honda civic because he saw the carbon build up. These days I have been doing short journeys as well. Do I give it some off the mark acceleration and some 80 to 110 bursts to clean it out, or is that an old...

    Causes of poorer economy of ZB 4 cyl 2 litre petrol turbo

    I have noticed that the economy of my ZB is lesser. I'm not confident of the accuracy of the dash read outs. I'm feeling I'm just running out more quickly. I only use 98 octane Causes or experience of others would be appreciated. Car has done lowish klms of 41k. It had 5k on it when purchased in...

    Hooray..I don't visit this site all the time. No, 85 k for a Tesla . I could do it but a big dint to super. Then I read about BYD.. The BYD EAN Dolphin was going to reach Australia in Nov, it changed to Apr 2022 , now changed again to late 2022 at a price of 30k and more up.to $34k. That...

    Pls at least say one thing about EVs .. I put a new thread in .. its pretty much there to get some fair dinkum stuff back.. it'd human nature to expect some good stuff.. Humour is good.. If people just started to talk about EVs some pros too I'm thinking there is engagement .. it started off...

    Yes good , just to emphasise again, the last thing I am is a conspiracy theorist.. I am the opposite. I don't know tge truth about Buffet, but I believe, I do believe also most motoring reviews. I found the ZB reviews fair abd reasonable.it was good info .. we didn't get much of that years...

    I 'vd had an FJ, a VN a VF, a VE and the ZB . yep the goldilocks car , love love love. And truly I'd be crazy to but the BYD knowing that, I'd have to keep it , so Its silly really to buy the BYD EAN ..even if it stacks up , wouldn't I , but it's worth nothing much now, so yehh I can fork...

    BYD EAN a reasonable quick car and a reasonably priced car at maybe even35 k drive away...is going to sell .. supply is the only problem. BYD will get compliance . .. a walk in the park . Yes it's a corolla size car, I'm telling you it's a big player now,, in making semiconductors and iron...

    EVs - What are you doing?

    I don't support the CCP , I support a business that has an excellent product. Like my Car, if it drives very well etc and reviews are very good , I'll consider buying the BYD EAN. If after the delay, the price is still excellent value , ditto. Whatever I am , I'm no conspiracy theorist, I...

    EVs - What are you doing?

    I I asked for them to talk about EV and their decisions etc to bring them back, if you asked me, I‘d do that. I researched a lot, wrote a lot to get more than total negativity .. didn’t bang on about my ZB, yes I said its going great .. big deal. I introduced the EV thread, it’s about the...

    Lets cut to the chase, you are a groupie, you stick with them. You never can accept rational comments, you stick with group think. You have done that again. It’s a poor look. I was looking for comments on whats happening in EV, and your thoughts.. I mentioned BYD, China, it’s tumultuous...

    This is a fable, truly it is, a fable from the dark ages. If you think EVs arent a solution, you might have rusted on groupies here who think like you, but you are in a massive minority because you are wrong. Warren Buffet has invested billions in EV, and specifically BYD. His investment is no...

    No, Aussies take up new tech big time…yes the virus will slow things down. i mentioned BYD because the indications are, no sorry, it’s a fact, they’re are going to be very affordable. They are a big entity.The EAN is amazing for price, yes we haven’t seen one, and yes I will be amazed if the...

    You, off topic, said, where is all the power coming from? Well what you say is a myth, not based on objective analysis, The link below confirms this. https://www.virta.global/blog/myth-buster-electric-vehicles-will-overload-the-power-grid

    In some place , can’t remember where, it will be mandatory for all new homes built from 2022 to be fitted with electric car chargers , no doubt solar will supplement that etc in due course. electric car sales will exponentially increase from 2022 onwards . Do you deny that? If you do, you are...

    I ha i have no interest or shares .. Buffet has invested billions in BYD. Yehh I might buy one .. they are not here yet, but represent great value.. said by others .. There have been and are terrible consequences on the climate because of fossil fuels, you are not denying that I hope, so...

    EVs - What are you doing?

    I created the thread, and mostly I talked about the rise of China as a manufacturer , and BYD in particular, so Im not talking about a subject that has lots of views. we are running out of oil too. We are in ‘ peak oil’, so I can advance that argument too. if you wrote a post , I’d respond to...

    EVs - What are you doing?

    Yehh that's not good, it's swept under the carpet. And fossil fuels for petrol are a bigger issue because there is so much of it contributing to warming the planet. I assume you agree what all the Academy of Sciences say about global warming. It’s substantially man made, and there are lots of...

    Noone interested??? Yes it is not directly about Commodores but it's relevant because you may walk away from them or it in due course. My dilemma is do I want another car when I have a good one now , and do I really want to pay another rego etc etc or should I wait to buy electric now or sit...

    EVs - What are you doing?

    As time marches on, and ICE cars are going to slip away from the radar a bit, like everything including ourselves, I just wondered what people are going to do in relation to a potential EV purchase. For example only, whether you will retain your beloved Commodore, and supplement your...

    If an if anyone owned the ZB , in my case, the 4 cyl petrol turbo LT , they’d know how perfect the stop start is … you wouldn’t bother .. omg..

    Ah um, boy oh boy my ZB 4 Cyl Petrol Turbo Sedan stop start is .. perfect .. it’s seamless, you virtually feel nothing, hear nothing, no shuddering, nothing. others have said the same. Never ever needed to turn it off. My ZB car has done 25k now ..nothing to report, tyre wear … negligible...
