Hi Guys I must concur with the fuel consumption figures you guys are quoting.We purchased our SX-6 in June last year with 18k on the clock. It has just had it's 40k service and we are regularly getting low 8's on the highway and 10-12 in the city. I'm "really anal" about fuel according to better half and run on Shell E 10 most of the time, and a lite right foot seems to make all the difference. The car is VERY responsive and when I was running on on Premium Unleaded the thing would have done 0-100k in 6 seconds I reckon!!

Hi Guys Just received this in the mail (from Toyota. Bertie Street, Port Melbourne) Ëngine oil supply pipe assembly for the VVT-i Actuator located on the left hand rear cylinder bank may develop a small crack inside the rubber hose due to an unsuitable material.Engine oil contaminants from blow by gas combined with the hose material, can result in the crack developing. If the vehicle continues to operate in this condition, the crack can expand due to oil pressure fluctuations and engine oil may leak from the hose. If you weren't aware before...you are now!! Doesn't sound to serious but I'll get mine done ASAP. Good Luck!!

Bruster don't forget that 19"rims could do bad things to the accuracy of your speedo.

"offset refers to PCD. Pitch Circle Diameter. Which is "the distance from the centre point to the centre of each wheel stud hole and the distance between the holes in relation to each other." Sometimes otherwise known as "the stud pattern." If you are getting conflicting info from tyre dealers, I would say take it to the guy who says it can be done and hope he's right.

Jeloz should do it without any dramas I was amazed at the level of space in the rear compartment of our SX-6 when we picked it up a few weeks ago... check out the area under the rear carpet for storage...you'll fit plenty of stuff in there, even before you start putting bags in... the kids will be OK in the back too...we fit my 3 strapping 20something boys in the back without ant probs...and they are ALL footie players over 6ft.(bit light on in the rear footwell space that day...but ahh well) have fun in Port Douglas

My SX-6 could benefit from cold-air intake and headers with a stainless twin system... but the cost/benefit analysis would come in too heavy on the cost side and a little light on the benefit side having a 4WD with the power-to weight ratio of my RAV is a real bonus. I'm not sure I need the extra power I'd probly be better off looking at mods that might lower the fuel consumption a little but then again.....

good onya junebug thats what these forums are all about giving people in trouble a few options-information IS power... no need to worry about attitudes and other stuff...

hey boys Girlie n I are takin our newly acquired '07 SX-6 for a spin to Tenterfield on the 24th July. We are from Bris Vegas. Anybody wanna tag along?? :D

Driving a V6 in Bris Vegas...trying REALLY hard to keep my foot off the throttle...and the tacho BELOW 2000RPM...and I'm still returning 11.68L/100k's over 1500k's (which included 500k's freeway driving) using Shell V-Power 1 in 4 tankfuls and E-10 the rest of the time... I think that's pretty reasonable for a V6 Wifey's Mazda 3 is getting 10.4L/100k's Thats about right stapo - similar to my figures. Correct me if wrong, I think Shell V power is 98RON. Try using a 95RON from BP or CALTEX and see if your figures improve - mine did.

Hey Bruster sorry u r havin trouble. Mine works fine and guidance is constantly updating... maybe bite the bullet and go to back to your dealer for a lesson, you've got a ZR6 so they shouldn't mind helping you out I've spent 10 years in the car game in parts and service find someone helpful and pick their brains...they won't mind stapo
