BALANCE CHAIN

petescim

Is it necessary to change the Balance as well as the main chain, do the Balance chains go as well or is it just a case of while your there !! I have tried to speak to Benny via a PM but think I must be doing something wrong as does not acknowledge Ive sent any thing on UCP. Must get this sorted as I appear to be on borrowed time at 67k, though dont know how much longer I can put up with sub 30 MPG

Help Please

If you have sent it correctly it will show in the outbox as being sent. I dont suppose you went in this sequence did you. In the send to field click on search members > type in members name and click ok > then click the add button which attaches the contact in the to field > enter in a subject (otherwise it wont send obviously) and the rest is self explanitory. If you've aleady tried this then im outta guesses pal. dunno..

Thanks to all who replied, I didnt go through that sequence for PM so will try again thanks, no conection between Chain and MPG obviously, just haveing a double moan really, the Vectra is the youngest car I have by 12 and 22 years respectivly but the one that costs the most to run and that worries me the most, that said its doing a great job for us at the moment and has been a godsend this year. After a weeks commuting with the wife is got 500 miles to do this weekend so maybe I'm going to prove all the reviews wrong.

Re: MPG

Further to my last under Balance chain title, dont know how acurate dash readout is on these cars but acording to that info just did 39.4 over 400 miles at fairly rapid motorway speeds, and a bit of town traffic both ends, in fact a dam right jam at one end, so cannot moan at that.
