Hi all

I need some advice I had an OBDII reader on my 4.6 range rover as it seemed to be running rich and had a rough idle. This turned out to be the MAF.

My OBDII reader showed the fuel trims as

Short Term - 25 Lean
Long Term + 25 Rich

I booked the rangie in to have the fuel trims reset at my local stealers. I got the vehicle back today and it still did not seem to be running properly

When I put the OBDII reader on the fuel trims still read

Short Term - 25 Lean
Long Term + 25 Rich

Would I be right in assuming that they have not reset the trims, but have just reset the fault codes?

The vehicle is running rich 9mpg round town, where as 2 month ago it would do 13mpg under the same conditions.

lambda?
 
Why not ask instead of getting opinions. Then you will know.

I phoned them today and they insist they have. Just seems very coincidental that the long term trims have not changed after a reset.

It would not be the first time I have had issues with my local stealer, but there is no-one else with the right kit for 90 miles
