LPG Discussion Forum

Hi

Sounds interesting your Frontera 2.2 Diesel with lpg assist, did you fit the system yourself?
I 've read alot about diesel lpg conversions. Do you get more pulling power?

Welcome to the forum.

I get about 34mpg from my A150, think I worked it out correct, £20 to fill up at 59.9p, will cover approx 200 miles mixed driving.

My engine light is on all the time, my brother has a code reader, and we clear the fault codes alot, eventually got bored so just drive with the light on constantly ...

Sorry, is that 1 set of plugs lasting 40K miles without change. If so i'll defo buy iridium

My A150 Merc is due for a service soon, but I would like to change the plugs myself in between the service.
Which would be better then standard,

1. Bosch Super4 Plugs.
2. NGK Iridium Plugs.

Opinions please, if anyone has tried different plugs what were your experiences.

Thanks

Total on A38 north bound, Lichfield have just started selling LPG at 58 ppl.

How do you close the gap?

I have an 07 Merc A150 on gas, its due a service soon, I've been reading about how spark plugs can effect the running.

Are standard plugs ok, or do I need specific ones like platinum?

Thanks

Sorry if this has been covered alot.

What is flashlube?
Do I need it fitted to my cars.

1. Merceds A150 07 plate manual.
2. Renault Grand Scenic 55 plate 2.0l auto.

Thanks

Hi

Can anyone give me details of who is the uk supplier of:

1. OMVL Dream XX1 N

Cheers

It sounds like the mixture while running on gas is well out which has upset the adaptations in the petrol ecu.

To put it in laymans terms the cars petrol ECU learns the best settings for your engine and driving conditions as you drive and stores these corrections in memory as adaptations to the ...

How would this affect the running of the car, as the car runs fine now on petrol after merc did something, if it was the maf would i not need a new one, but merc seems to have fixed the problem, on petrol anyway.

You see it runs poor on gas then i revert back to petrol and still i get the poor idle ...

got the car back last night and all is fine running onpetrol, but i dare not touch the lpg button as this is what set it off last time.

Do you think the LPG guy has wired it up incorrectly as the dealer said there were some new wires connected to the Main ECU, is this normal?

The Merc dealer has still got the car today, as yesterday he said he tried to plug in the computer and do something but it just keeps saying failed tried again and said failed, he said the ecu is not letting them do what they want to.

Is this a problem with the ECU?

Hi

Thanks tommo2009

No, when I turn the car off and restart the problems still persist even on petrol. don't know what limp mode should feel like, but the car still jerks and misfire, in petrol and GAS.

Thanks rossko

went to collect the car today still not perfect on petrol, then when they tried again to reprogramme the ECU it now won't let them.

He said the diagnostic came up with incorrect mixture, so he is sure it is when the ECU detects the switch over from Petrol to LPG thats causing the ...

Well finally bought the car and had the conversion done. though i'm experiencing some problems, i've left another thread.

Sorry tommo2009

Its a OMVL kit
