Right.... and ill put this in laymens terms. The Higher the octane level, the higher the compression needed to Ignite the fuel. Meaning, the fuel is less likley to ignite on the upstroke of the piston, thus resulting in pre detination, or engine knock etc. High octane fuel has very very little effect on BHP. If your are feeling a difference with it, then im sorry to say, but that is just a placibo, or as Bazzer1955 stated his VRS runs like crap on it, I would suggest running Colder Plugs in your car, as like most VRS its probably had an "ebay chip tune" The octane rating of E10 is 95 ron, exactly the same as the "old regular unleaded". Only downsides to ethenol is its ability to eat rubber. I have an a4 with a 1.8t and runs on c85 race fuel, which has no petrol in it at all. 77% Ethenol. and 33% oxygenates. I have to change injector seals every 6 months or so, or I start to get that lovely Corn juice smell inside the car. Octane rating has nothing to do with BHP. Personaly I have absolutly no worries about having 10% ethenol in the fuel. Its better for the enviroment. And most of the Horror stories of "I have a mate, who knows a bloke, who spoke to a bloke in a pub, that he used E10, and all the rubber hoses in his car evaporated" they are warning people off of E10 in cars older than 2000, becuase they have rubber fuel lines and seals that are over 20 years old, and the sudden change of chemicals may require them to be replaced.

Ok, so i have seen some rumors around the net that fitting CC is as simple as buying the control online, and splicing in the black wire on the steering wheel. (without blowing your self into boot via the airbag of course. Is this true, or is it a load of crud. I have the 2002 model 3.0l v6. with everything the car has on it, Including lane guidance (doesnt work in uk as far as I know) electric curtains, 100v AC inverter etc etc but they didnt have CC.

Hi, wanted Yesterday me and my other half FINALY found a decent Alphard, with the items we needed. Its what i believe is the pre facelift 2002 model. ( pearlwhite and mokka two tone) the only part that its letting us down on is the seats, and im hoping we can convert it. currently we are a family of 6, full time, and on the weekends i have my son, that goes up to 7. as a 6 seater, the car is amazing and everyone is comfy. but as a 7 seater, someone has to sit in, what im calling the jump seat. that one right in the back that is basicaly 10" wide is basicaly sat on arm rests. What we want to do is switch out the very nice middle row. currently two seats with sliding foot rests. to the rotating 40-60 split seats, as for 3 people these are much comfier. I have been led to believe that this is not as simple as just taking out the seats and putting the 40-60 split seat on. and actualy involves moving or replacing the rails. Next thing, we have the older headunit, but have the DVD unit in the glovebox, and the cinema surround. and are wondering if there is a way to change to an android type headunit, but still keep all front and rear camera functionality. any recomendations etc. Our electric curtains dont seem to work, they kind move. but need help along the way, im actualy about to go try furninture polish to see if that eases them up. but if not any other tricks?
