BADOIR 2 Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 Just looking out the window at two frozen VR's, and know that when i go out they will both start 1st time, Now i was just wondering how many FI VRs are as reliable ,given that the majority seem to always be having the bonnet up tinkering around withem, or on here asking this and that about FI,not being really clued up on the FIcourse was just thinking how reliable is the car , once going down that route ,given the considerable expense people seem prepared to go to ,,JUST A THOUGHT.. *-) Link to post Share on other sites
xyber 1 Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 No difference at all mate, the main thing is once FI more strain/heat is put on the old components, so they tend to die and need a swap, Ive swapped coolant temp sensor and lambda, which both looked to be original so the new ones will last out my ownership of the car, so long as its done properly reliablity isnt affected Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Seabrook 4 Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 We keep putting the bonnet up and tinkering because we have more interesting things under the bonnet to look at seriously though ...... we do !! nope with the psi I am running will use my car as my daily and am not expecting any more issues with the car than i had anyway Link to post Share on other sites

spindat45 0 Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 Mine starts first turn of the key even in this cold weather and with a sticky exhaust valve (not charger related). Pretty much bolted the charger on and used ever since. It's only a stage 1 but it does exactly what it says on the tin . Link to post Share on other sites
