Petrol vs diesel

[benchrisfennell]

A+ ,That was the whole point of this thread...general consensus is the vg33 is a lot more reliable, also my vg33 gets the same fuel economy as my brothers d40 auto yd25 on the highway, costs a lot less to service and maintain, and has a bulletproof drivetrain, the whole thing was assembled correctly with out the use of chimpanzees with pipe wrenches and the new diesels aren't like the old ones in water anyway. Au revoir

Yea still... Sell it

Sounds good, is that the dielectric stuff? I Will probably still use a tarp/water bra and tie the fan, I've seen to many drowned fourbys, thanks heaps.

Yea that's the stuff. I was looking for a petrol d22 or even the r50 pathfinder for the wife's car but I'd be adding a turbo to it or rebuilding the motor for more compression rather than the 8.5-1 they are.

I do believe there is a company south of Brisbane working on the V9X gearbox to alleviate this, when I hear more I will update the 550 section with their details.

Hello happy john, i don't suppose you have heard anything more about this have you? kind regards.

Hi Adam, that was discussed on the Caravan Forum a while ago. The fellow never reported back with a follow up, so we are none the wiser.
