Put the Panda on winter wheels today.
Same as summer wheels, black steel 7Jx16" ET31, with 205/45R16" Conti TS 860 tires, and with Bravo wheel covers.
Still the same look only with winter tires.

 

[The Pretender]

New windshield wipers installed.

Full wash yesterday and hose underneath. Hard frost overnight though but won't be using the car till Wednesday at the earliest.
Happy Christmas to all.

Hes resting in the garage in his posh coat ready for polish. Last week he was haling a tree out of the local cemetery. Piece of cake.

Happy Christmas Panda drivers!

What's the verdict?

 

[Leroypanda]

found out it runs ruff and overfuels if left for a few days, plus im only doing short 6 mile trips twice a week now, anyone else find this with the 1200?

What's the verdict?

I have yet to go off road, when I do this weekend I'll do a writeup.

 

[KungFooPanda]

Today’s job was to service the car with some Millers Nano Tech 10-40 oil. Changed the pollen filter with a MANN carbon one and patch up the exhaust with some gum gum.

Tomorrow is to get the air con regas and wash and polish her ?

Might be an issue with fume buildup in the gas tank if the pressure valve isn't working properly, though technically the fuel injection should compensate for that... which means it might be the MAP or O2 sensor tricking the ECU into thinking it needs more fuel (which is more likely now that the weather is getting colder and the ECU has to recalibrate for the denser air)

I Pre-Order my new 17 inch summer tires, for my new 17 inch summer wheels.

do i need to do anything?

 

[oyumurtaci]

See if it does the same thing when started warm, or if it doesn't sort itself out after a few miles. If the ECU is failing to recalibrate to the conditions, it's probably a faulty sensor (lambda/O2 or MAP as I mentioned) but you'll need to run a diagnostic scan through OBD to be sure and see if any of them are throwing 'out of range' codes or something similar. If you're handy, you can use MultiECUScan and an OBD code reader, if not, an independent garage could probably pull the codes much cheaper than the dealer charges for diagnostics.
