i will drive the car for a few days . i drove it today and it did get a little better, but still something not right. , on a very flat clean road . i pulled over removed the BMC Air filter and inspected it, it was about 40% blocked . i then drove home approx 2kms without the air filter, to my surprise . THE GT WAS BACK. induction noise and all.
since the shain tensioners were done i checked the economy. and it went from an average of 15.7ltrs/100kms to 17.9.
i cleaned the air filter and re installed into the car, and reset the trip computer. i'll monitor over the next few days, and see what happens . if the economy returns to 15.3-15.7 as has been over 3 years , i'll suspect it's all good. if not , i'll take that as proof.
