Re: Fuel consumption

hey where did you get the manual from nando210
they are meant to run lean at cruise but either the fuel is bad or the sensors are wrong in the engine it doesnt seem to work,some people say its cause they get carboned up others say its bad injectors but no one seems to know for sure
personally i think the gdi is a badly designed motor that was released onto the market to soon
but im stuck with mine pitty cause the rest of the car im happy with
does yours sound like a tractor(noisey lifters)
let me know if you had had any help from anyone.
I was going to replace the injectors but at Nz$450 each i changed my mind apparently they dont last this is what might be causing the shudder(running out of gas feeling)mine does it real bad to the point i put a resistor on the temp sensor so it wont go into lean burn at least the car is better to drive also had to put a sensor in for the fan as the car now thinks its running cold
no one knows nothing about these cars in new zealand
cheers stu
