Dont think your o2 sensor is going to help you at all mate, the range usually calculates itself so with abit of thrashing & not filling tank to maximum from time to time, these factors will confuse its attempt to work out your range Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/43910-fuel-consumption-merged-topic/page/138/#findComment-1401746 Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you loosen a rounded head? it has lost its hexagonal shape. Sprayed some WD40, hopefully loosens overnight Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/43910-fuel-consumption-merged-topic/page/138/#findComment-1401915 Share on other sites More sharing options...

sct911 Member 848 Member For: 12y 5m 8d Gender: Male Posted 28/06/13 10:03 AM Share Posted 28/06/13 10:03 AM managed to install new o2 sensor ,average fuel economy has improved by 2-3 L/100km with same driving style. now sits at 14 in city instead of 16-17110 000km old o2 sensor was sluggish to respond , thus consuming more fuel. Note: dont try changing sensor while engine is warm(stupid me). Put a few ice cubes ontop, it came loose pretty easy Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/43910-fuel-consumption-merged-topic/page/138/#findComment-1402310 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I sure can ,not sure if normal. Once with only 20km left till emtpy I was driving it like I stole it and the bubbles/sucking air got pretty loud that I thought I broke something. Put the car in P, was still loud. To this day I can still hear the pump when near empty.My cars a stock fg Edited 28/06/13 01:24 PM by sct911 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/43910-fuel-consumption-merged-topic/page/138/#findComment-1402329 Share on other sites More sharing options...
