just had a look and some how i just dont think it will to be honist

[Chris B]

Thats pretty much my thinking... they look like a good idea but im probably better off sending it in for a tunit chip (boosts it from 156bhp to 192bhp)

People, people. They are complete and utter bull manure and another example of how money can be fleeced from the gullible.

If a piece of tat like this really gave more MPG, more power, more torque and less emissions the manufacturers would fit them from new - it would save them millions in development work.

See this thread for more examples of daylight robbery. http://www.itocuk.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?t=5990&highlight=

had one on my old passat (tunit box) improved mpg and power sold passat at 120k with no probs bar check light coming on now and again.have you tried any bio yet chris in the 3 ltr

[brains]

the trouble is most people are blinded by the words power and mpg because less emissons and more power just dont dont work in the same sentence ,its one or the other, just dont get fooled in to it .

[rabbitt]

while we on about air filters and that sort of thing is there an induction filter and performance air intake system availible for the 3.1 bighorn ?

cheers

[brains]

see if k&n do any thing of a sort?

A clutch?    How many miles has it done now then?  My truck needs the gearbox removing next service so am wondering about having the clutch replaced at the same time to save on the labour.  
Also if you use supermarket diesel it's all 5% biodiesel!  Kept that quiet didn't they!

Hi there

Saw your post regarding slipping clutch and it set alarm bells ringing here.

Once a clutch starts slipping then it is obviously ready for changing due to too much travel on the pressure plate and it not being able to exert the required pressure to make the clutch plate stick to the flyweel.

Clutch plates are designed so that the asbestos plates closest to the pressure plate are slightly thinner meaning that the rivets that hold the asbestos plates to the centre plate start to wear the pressure plate first and not the flywheel so once it starts slipping its good practice to get the plate and pressure plate replaced as soon as possible as damage to the flywheel is a whole lot more expensive than a new clutch and plate.

Hope you dont think I am sticking my nose in where its not wanted but I learned this through bitter experience years ago and have never fotgotten.

Jon

Cheers Jon! (and welcome to ITOCUK)

It is on my radar to be done ... trouble is they are not a cheap do on these beasts
