97 VR6 Splutter
« on: 16 March 2006, 13:24 »
Recently bought a VR6 and first thing I did was have a full service, plugs, oil, coolant all filters (aircon, air, oil and fuel) the lot.

Anyway, the car now splutter a little at 1.5k rpm. Anyone got any ideas what it might be?

Car had a K&N panel when I bought it but the service guy has installed a normal filter - I've kept the K&N as I may re-fit it.

Obviously if it's not something simple I'll go back but just wondering if it was common and something I could quickly resolve.

Okay, I'll give that a try.

Another thought, I've been running it on Optimax (on third tank since I bought it!), I preusme they're okay in this?
