Noone tried a turbo diesel KJ Jeep? In theory it ticks all the boxes except the five speed auto does not have a sports mode sequential shift. My problem is that what happens if it cracks up on the Newell? Stranded big time?

I'd like to know how/why, considering that under the skin they're effectively the same vehicle.

Exactly, Although I have heard lots more about tailshaft, driveline etc, turbo and electrical problems with the ToeRag's, but that probably just because they are more common?

q7 minor service 350 ( every 15000)

major service ( every 30k) 600 ( every 30000)

i change the oil evey 7500km costs $150

in the next week ill let you know how much gearbox and diff oils are

still waiting for teh engine to explode and it does some hard yards towing my POS

fingers crossed

their so shit ill be upgrading to the v8 tt to hall arse faster in 12 months

I never said they're shit you cranky sheet carnt. :P

I've towed using Q7 (R34 GTR) and Toureg (R32 and R34 GTR's), both V6 TDi, and I reckon they're a bloody fantastic tow machine!

However, the fact remains they scare the beejesus out of me post-warranty.

Me too...and I bought one out of warranty. :O Service in a few weeks, sphincter is tightening already.

I dare say that's something to do with it Timmay.

I also recall Capt Fathom's Q7 engine (3.0l TDi) exploding spectacularly while towing his car to Lonnie from Devonport..... still under warranty thankfully.

Was Bourkey driving it though??? Lol :ph34r:

    • 9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.

    • Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same. 
    • I have an elite 2500 running an adapter harness on an rb25de neo r34. I took the butterfly out and removed all that junk. But I also went Plus+t at the same time. The butterfly thing works in reverse to the boost solenoid on the Gtt if that makes sense
    • yeh they are 235/45/17 up front and 255/40/17 in the rears. I still didn't get my answer if i can fit a 18x9 up front. I want to get 4 of this and see if they will fit before committing as they didn't see an 18x8 as an option but there is a 18x9.5 also.   Enkei RS05-RR 18x9 35mm ET 5x114.3 75.0 Bore Matte Gunmetal Wheel
