New car, what are my niggles...?
Thanks in advance everyone, my newly acquired 190 has a couple of niggly little issues that I'm looking for guidance on rectifying...
She has a whiff of petrol when coming to a stop after being driven, nothing when driving along. Would this be something to do with the huge stainless exhaust? I've googled it and heard of unburnt fuel in the exhaust has, would a change back to standard help...? On that note, anyone had a cat back exhaust system fitted recently? What am I looking at, ballpark maybe? And i have no 'kick' at 3000rpm, so am thinking my power vis is defunct. Are they still available from experts on here and if so who can point me in the right direction...? Thanks all, sure there will be plenty of other random issues arise that I'll need your help to sort!

I have a diesel, but those would be my starting points to look at. You are lucky though, unburned petrol smells much nicer than unburned diesel lol.

Check the plumbing under the engine cover for breakage in the crankcase ventilation system - doesn't exactly smell of petrol but unpleasant.
Stocktake is the VIS expert, does a refurbishment, upgrading service that brings the motors up to a standard better than new. Judging by my experience in testing VIS motors the balance motor is more often defective than the power. Anyone with a tester in the OP's area or Toaf? Regards |

I was given a figure of around £300 for a cat back on my V6 75. I imagine it would be similar for the ZT.

I'm after an OEM system, the stainless one is just too loud for me!
