How does you JTD drive?

[Tommy K]

ok... it's around the 2-2.5k mark... i think its about 2.3k on my car.. well thats wen u start to feel the urge of power if u've started off in 2nd gear by misstake :-$

wotever the actually rpm.. you should feel the turbo giving some power, and if not.. the MAF is more than likely not working.


isn't it a pain wen there are so many JTD drivers on here.. they pick up on everything lol....


BTW... wheres the fuel filter? and how easy is it to change???

great stuff... i guess thats the same place on the 105 & the 100... cos they are different filters!!

Oil filter price... £7.36+vat
Fuel filter price.. £8.97+vat
Oil price.......... £45+vat

Service cost....... £61.33+vat

Thats just over £72 on a service!! Every 6,000 miles!! :'(

How come the oil is so expensive? Is that 5L?

 

[Tommy K]

no mate.. thats for 25letres

Thats why i change my oil every 6,000miles... cos i buy 5 oil changes worth of oil at once!

well wen i say i... wot i mean to say.. my daddy buys 25letres of Agry III, so he can do an oil change on his tractors and I can do my car at the same time

So i only really pay for the filters

but hush! it's still expensive!

I dunno wot you lot are gonna say about me using ARGY III tho.. its good quality tractor oil... it says so on the can!

[Anonymous]

oh yeah and on a 2000 bravo is the red key a necessity like on older bravos? or did they stop providing red keys like they did on puntos?

thanks

 

[carterado]

Yes, there is red key on every bravo including last series.

 

[Tommy K]

The red key is needed on the JTD only for programing new keys and if something hapens to the imobiliser.

The cambelt guide isnt done - think that ppl generaly dont want to do it by them selves, but I have a fiat one
