i think at the time i made the mistake of doing the service at the same time, so i did not know what factor to praise for making the car run better, but judging by the state of the fuel filter i would say a good service does the better job

i did mine yesterday and its a 2.0 ltr HDI 110 and took it out for a 10 mile spin and was impressed with the performance of the car at low revs up to 2500.it seems to have increased the power at take off and overall performance is good though i don't know the long term effects but i will keep it disconnected for now. :lol:
