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:

    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
