Hi all
Again, I know there's heaps of information out there but I would like to summarise a few things I've found whilst trawling the forums;
Recently purchased a 2012 with 100k on the clock and want to keep it as reliable as possible. What I've read seems to be that a bad batch of fuel can throw the injectors out which is not ideal. So to combat this I'm going to put a secondary fuel filter with a water catcher on asap. I'm also looking at a catch can to join soon - I also believe you can electronically shut the EGR valve too? This will help get the inlet manifold as clean as possible.
I won't bother with a tune or chip but I was a firm believer of easy in/easy out in my old car and had a snorkel and exhaust system which I think saved me ~2.5L/100km all combined (was an old petrol though). Most of the exhaust posts seem to be noise/performance related but have people found gains with fuel economy from an aftermarket exhaust system?
Other than than I was going to grab a techstream and engine monitor to keep and eye on things. Anything I'm missing?
Thanks
Nick
