Hi all
I had been discussing this problem in the Gallery Section
but thought it better in here
My meega has some issues when on LPG.....poor mpg....poor perfomance.....like prolly down nearly 20% when you push it on lpg....totally gutless.
I had taken it back to the lpg installer several times complaining about the performance....they checked it and declared nothing wrong
Its been fully serviced at vx dealers....last service 60k....its now done 65k (B4 u ask its still under networkq warranty.....so dont want any probs arising from warranty claims)
Martin Imber helpfully suggested some things i try.....new plugs...new air filter
The plugs i changed last, have now done 12k so are due changing again, and i have vx plugs to fit....so this weekend i'll do them.
LPG is fussy and will highlight any engine prob.....
Now....the air filter....i thought id have a look at it earlier.....i thought the air box would be clip on like my veccy....ummm no its torx screws.....ok fine torx driver at the ready.....all undone ok except the the screw at the front right of air box.....its so badly rusted it aint coming out...got there in the end with the aid of flat bladed screwdriver and ummm a hammer....so got the air filter out and guess what its black!!!!
Another prob it had....was floor the pedal from standstill and it went cough cough splutter then went.....so tried it without the airfilter (not probably the wisest of things to do) guess what...it went no probs....no coughing at all.....put the air filter back in and back to cough cough again.
So....i may have found the prob.....it needs a new air filter.....dont vx bother to change the air filter then...when you have it serviced???
From the probs i had getting the filter out.....i guess its the original air filter....
I'll get a new air filter tomorrow......then hopefully shud be better....
Just a bit annoyed that vx dont bother changing the air filter....or coz they had probs like i did trying to get the air filter out they didnt bother!!
Cheers
