When i changed over to AU Injectors, flat spot again was only cold mostly but happend on acceleration after braking. My instance, was injector issues. I dont know what you have done so far sorry. Side note And will be boxed up today and hopefully sent tomorrow. What switches you want? Demister, Aerial and have either EF black or EL Grey. demister and aerial will fine and ef black cheers |

I have heard of wrong torque settings of sump bolts creating leaks, so by that logic a missing one would deffo leak.

"Don't go to put the sump plug back in the sump UNLESS you have a spanner in your hand ready to tighten it entirely, BEFORE DOING ANYTHING ELSE." I probably coped it twice or three times today alone...
