Hello from Sweden by raytelford on Sun Mar 17, 2013 9:59 pm
Hi all, I joined some time ago but never really introduced myself. I joined basically just to browse the forum.
But now I think it’s time to say hello officially.
I have a 2003 2.2 DTI 5 door Olympus. I live in Sweden, I exported the car from the UK. The Frontera is not a common car here.
It has started to develop a number of problems but I am trying to solve them by use of the forum and the GM TIS2000 software. I have found it very helpful so far and hope I will find all my answers, however if I get stuck I would be grateful if I can call for help.

Hello there.

My first suggestion would be to replace ALL the vacuum hoses with brand new 3mm ID silicone hose, and give your inlet manifold a good clear out of all the gunk.

As said though. Any technical questions then please ask away in the relevant areas on the forum.
