Losing 10 mile to a tenner somewhere or maybe going daft lol ?

[Guilo2k4]

Hi To all members

This may be just me having dodgy thoughts lol but ever since getting the rear crankshaft oil seal and clutch changed on my 850 t5 , i seem to be getting less miles for my moolah.

Before the repair i was getting 350 miles to 50 squid but now i only manage 300 :wtf: and my driving habits have not changed in any way.

Could there be an air leak somewhere.

Any help on this matter will be much appreciated.

Im gonna visit VT in a couple of weeks so if there is a problem they will find it before rica upgrade i presume.

Keep up the good work guys and girls.

Cheers

Could be price of fuels gone up.

[Guilo2k4]

Nah Stu fuel price is still the same mate.

I actually think its loosing a bit power sometimes too and also noticed that there is quite a bit black around the exhaust tail pipe but that could be due to the weather.

Cheers anyway m8

350 miles to 50 quid so about 35 to the gallon mine averages 11 mpg doh, pmsl

[blackbooty]

hi mate, do you realise your motor has a turbo ? (lol)
stamp your right foot... feels nice ,huh, do that lots and youll end up getting
200-230 to 50 quid like both my T5's give me.
its worth every penny of it !!!

[Guilo2k4]

Black booty i drive the car real hard and i still get 300 but was getting more.

So it seems im getting a good deal anyway at 300.

Never mind lol

went to make a tea mid -post mate.
thats more like the consumption figures your local esso station dreams of.

Hi wayne

Had scoobys in the past so petrol cost have not been an issue mate.

Getting better return in the 850 so im happy and a much safer car for my daughter.

When the missus aint in with the bairn im racing scoobys lol.

Blitzed a new STI WRX the other day so if that is standard im really lookin forward to it being RICA'D.

Cheers

[blackbooty]

Fitted a black mesh grill the other day but you can see the horns through it and it looks ££££.

Seen links about moving them but i aint really that mechanically minded - pcs are my thing :-)

How hard are these to move.

Bought a new set of BK 300 Alloys with tires too and got a ££££in puncture in first 4 days and i now got a slight chunk out of the alloy where they prised the tire off the rim.

Cheers

tossers arnt they i watch them right over their shoulders.

[Guilo2k4]

Aye mate they said they were carefull too.

God knows what they r like when taking them off normally.

[blackbooty]

i hope i dont ever get a puncter up your way bud, enuff to make you cringe.
show us the pics of the grill mate.
aint read the horn moving thread, but volvos r nice to work on in my opinion, follow the advice from the thread and im sure you wont go wrong.
