I've heard that too mate but it was running well and then one day all of a sudden I noticed that the performance had dropped off.

Thanks mike, sounds like I might need the injectors looked at. Where on the engine would I find the shut down actuator? Sorry mate, I haven't got the greatest knowledge when it comes to this sort of stuff.

Cheers for the info mate. I've looked around where the turbo and exhaust manifold are and see no evidence of any leaks although when under load I have noticed a hissing sound coming from the left hand side of engine bay. My boost sits at about 17 psi at full throttle. I'll give one of those...

Cheers for the reply, air filter gets changed regularly along with fuel filter. I've checked all hoses for leaks and all seem normal. I have noticed the exhaust makes a funny sound when holding revs and has started to rattle on start up knocking on the leaf spring suggesting maybe exhaust has...

Thanks mate. Would it be pricey to get the injectors looked at? My zd30 has 110k on the clock so I'm hoping the pump hasn't failed yet.

Hi. Today I test drove an 06 dx zd30 which my brother purchased today. The difference in acceleration was very noticeable compared to my 06 STR zd30. His pedal was way softer under foot and was alot more responsive than mine. I have a dp chip and 3inch exhaust, this dx is stock and feels so much...

I think I have found the issue. My drum brakes were absolutely chocked full of crap, I couldn't believe the amount of build up on and around the pads. The drums were really hard to get off so I'm thinking they need adjusting as well. Only managed to clean one side and it's noticeably better to...

Cheers for the reply. I've disconnected the nps, no difference. The chip lights up with a green light when the cars running then turns red when under load...this is normal according to the instructions. The trouble is finding a good mechanic, I ask them about it every service and they can't find...

Cheers for the reply. Where is the MAP sensor? I've replaced the boost sensor when I broke the plastic pipe pulling the hose off haha.

It has just clicked over 100ks

Disconnected the snorkel and went for a drive, made no difference. It's really starting to get on my nerves. I just want my old Nav back :( air filter is clean and fuel filter has been replaced, still down on power.

Nah same tyres

Thanks mate, I'll check it out tomorrow

Air filters and fuel filter have been changed recently. I checked the air filter the other day and still looks brand new from a service about 3k ago. Cheers for your input and keep the suggestions coming :)

Where should I check? The whole snorkel and air box? Is there any filter between the snorkel and air filter?
