Hi P&G,

I have a 2008 Patrol. nothing has been said to me re a modification to the fuel rail. can you explain what is and what it is for. Did they do a recall or was it done to fix a problem.

Would be interested in your feedback.

Thanks

Alan

I had the car chipped which I have subsequently removed as it caused more problems than it was worth, even though it was fitted professionally and retuned several times by the 'experts'Fuel consumption rose by some 25% and the vehicle developed this really annoying buzzing sound. Anyway when this was initially installed they also did a fuel rail modification which from what I can tell involved only replacing one bolt which somehow causes the vehicle not to dump back unused fuel instead this bolt makes it use the fuel - I cannot find just where this bolt fits in the fuel line. I have it and have looked at every bolt in the fuel rail and although I can see some that are similar none when I take them out match. Therefore I was wondering if anyone can assist me to identify exactly where this bolt goes.

The car though is running much better WITHOUT the chip and I guess that my little experiment thus far has left me over $3,000 poorer with the cost of the installation and the increased fuel costs. I am currently trying to see if I can get the manufacturer of the chip to come to the party with at least a partial refund??

Cheers

Peter

Muzzgit, sorry wont name currently as am in negotiations to get my money back - however I will say that I have heard since having mine installed of so many people who are just removing them as they are dissatisfied with both performance and fuel consumption.
