    Thumbs up Full Service Update..

    ..so just had my full service done on the truck plus the 80lt long range tank added - She feels like new - Always nice driving home afterwards..

    my MAF sensor needs attention as they think this is what is increasing my fuel consumption.. not sure what to do here.. replace it or try that cleaning thing?

    anyway said that the truck is pretty tidy and no major concerns with it at all so that makes me happy. Fuel tank of petrol and will see what consumption is like at the moment..



    PS - those 80lt long range tanks are bloody huge!

    The ECU self learns as you go so after cleaning the MAF disconnect th Battery for 30 Minutes to an Hour. Probably does not require that long but its better to err on the safe side

    Nice offer from 3D there... once you see how simple it is you'll be happy to do it yourself.

    deleted the rest, I was jibbering about the wrong engine

    Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.

    Is the MAF sensor the black box or the metal pipe or both?

    That's it mate. Just remove and clean. Looks like a gq if I am correct.
