Hi Guys (and gals),

I'd like to extend an invitation to all SAU members to come along to our Mid Year drive through Black Spur and the infamous Reefton Spur.

This is going to be an awesome day along some of the best touring roads in Victoria.

The details are as below.

REEFTON SPUR and THE BLACK SPUR!

WHERE: Outside Yarra Valley Nissan, 460 Maroondah Hwy, Lilydale.

WHEN: 8.00am Sunday 19th June.

WHO: All welcome. Total of approx 260km. All sealed roads.

HOW: Up Reefton Spur to Marysville for a quick coffee at the big bakery. Then thru The Black Spur to Healesville and onto Melbourne. Remember it is winter the roads could be icy. No Lake Mountain drive during winter.

NDSOC PROMOTES SAFE RESPONSIBLE DRIVING AT ALL TIMES.

I hope to see some of you guys there.

Cheeers,

Raul Mas

This is sooooooo tempting, I just got the car fully sprayed and upgraded, should be on the road that weekend.

The car has been off the road for 3 months and the quickest car I have driven was my parents' VT Commodore :D. I have been suffering withdrawal symptoms for the past 2.9 months.

Decisions, decisions..................:confused:

    • Keeping in mind that for most people this is a week to month long job!
    • Its also worth mentioning that 30 years after it left the factory and god knows how many missed oil changes since, there is every possibility that one or more lifters are ticking because they are sticky/gummed up. To resolve that you need to pull the cams then pull each lifter, disassemble, clean, reassemble, soak in oil and re-install, and they should come up good as new.
    • What air filter are you running? Is it a panel filter in the stock air box, or a pod filter? Is the air filter the type that is oiled?   If you unplug the IACV, what rpm does the engine idle at?
    • Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.
    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
