Maintenance or more kind of a resurection. It my old DD since almost 8years. But its been sittning for about 4 years. I suspected the 3# shiftfork i transmission had gone bad but turned out to be just the robotic shift linkage. Have changed all 4 brakes and now changing e-brake cables which have seized also. Half the interior had to come out to change the most forward part connected to the lever inside.
Next i’m going to do the timing belt. Also A/C stoppad to work when sittning, going to be looking in to that also.
Its done about 33000km, about 10000km in my possession. so i hope its going to so at least 20000 more with som work. The alu body is not going to rust. Best Consulting i’ve managed is 2,6l/100km in one trip but usual avarage according to trip computer is between 2,8-3,0liter/100km in summer time. With the webasto in winter time its an awsome little car.
BUT in the meanwhile I am looking at a Suzuki GV XL7 which i also like and Will likely buy. What can be Done with its rather high consumtion of nearley 11liters/100km of the 2,7liter V6 with auto?
Some aerowork, Warm air intake, skinnier tires? Will this accountedge for som gains?
