Thanks I suppose I best get them checked then :0(

Can faulty injectors cause an increase in consumption then?

On short bounds with a manual box I would say mid 30's would be decent enough ;0) I think if I took this down to the south coast I would get 500 miles out of the tank.

Hi again fellas...... Yeah that's a point I am probably only doing 60 mph on long runs!!!! I would say I am doing a mix of long journeys on the motorway of up to 20 miles at a constant 60 and short bounds of 5-8 miles at varying speeds so I think maybe I am not doing too bad.

Yeah I think around 65 is where I get the best mpg but still think I am only getting mid 30's to the gallon. Just wondering if the injectors could be at fault?

Hmmmmmmmmm it seems I may have a problem here!!

Hi I am just wondering if 400 miles out of a tank of fuel would be considerd a good return or about right for a TD4? I have done the EGR mod, cleaned the manifold, add 250ml of 2 stroke to every tank full and also had an Eco remap. I am also wondering if I have a dodgy injector because...

Bloody Nora!!!!!!!! :)

Does it have a spring in the arm? Try oiling that if it does.

Perhaps another Turbo too..... Anyone know of a decent Turbo and where to get it from?

Oh I have done the cyclone crankcase breather and silicone hoses too next will be a larger intercooler if I want more horses!!

Re-map cost me £150 and give me another 40bhp and also returning around 45 mpg on a long run. (Mines manual not a thirsty auto in the first place). Also done the EGR blank mod I add 250ml of 2 stroke to every tank of fuel too Mine pulls a twin axle 26ft caravan 60mph all day long and pulls...

Lol!! :)

I would have thought that was pretty stiff but I would be happy to see somewhere in the middle. :D:D

Just to clarify the one wheel up test would see a good/healthy VCU return a drop time of around 15-18 seconds so I am told ;)

Jack up one side of the FL (both front and rear wheels) spin the front wheel and the rear should rotate too as I understand. This should prove that your IRD is functioning and intact. If both wheels don't spin = IRD problem. Also do the 1 wheel up test. My FL had a Beaumont recon VCU fitted...

Lol..... Work through the night!!!!!!! My wife would love that!!!!! :)

Already got one that goes from about 80nm-400nm but need to get a smaller one 10-30 would be ideal. Nearly came a cropper doing the manifold clean!!!! Will defo be asking here for advice before doing anything. ;)

If you can't leave it to soak (like me.... I had 3 hrs to get it done) Petrol and a Karcher is the only way forward!!!! Slapped it on top of the kitchen radiator for 30mins before refitting. Just to add......all your hard work will be undone in a few months unless u do the EGR blank mod. ;)

Agreed!! Petrol worked a treat after trying G101 (which worked ok) I used 12" zip ties attached to strips of old towel to pull through each of the manifold inlets. Oh and a Karcher pressure washer!!!! To be fair it was a right pig of a job!! One point to note..... Don't clean it in your bath...
