I'm yet to actually monitor the solenoid duty cycle with the pds and make recordings before and after to get some hard evidence that it works, It feels like it made a difference to my car and other people agree, just wanted some figures just out of curiosity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they need lubricating every 10000km? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pelican Pelican Member 141 Member For: 19y 4m 5d Location: Gold Coast Posted 21/02/07 07:12 AM Share Posted 21/02/07 07:12 AM I did this on my car over the weekend, and it's definitely helped.... my cars been feeling lethargic of late.... but after this little 10 minute fix, it's certainly feeling like it used to......I think my car still has issues though, as it does not seem to pull as hard or for that matter as quietly as it used to...... and it's only got 38,000km on the clock.......
