How is the performance?
timing and advance function are key to good MPG. I'd verify initial timing, and that internal pressure rises with RPM, especially if it's incredibly doggy over 3000 RPM.
Performance is fairly good for what it is . The one thing about it is when it gets up into the RPMs it really starts to dump the fuel out . Because it's an auto it only has the 3 gears and if I floor the pedal and it gets up to around 4k (I'm guessing here) it will start a smoke screen but performance is not hindered .
It's not as bad as it sounds really but maybe I can take a video soon. I don't drive the car hard at all though. I try to dive it rather conservatively .

I do not have a tach in the car . I take it you have a 740 D24T ? Did that model come with a tach? I read up on how to add a diesel tach by wiring it inside the alternator and yes I know they have inductive racha but it seems way to cheesy and fiddle faddle for me to hose clamp a sensor on the outside of the alternator .

Unless there is an alternative ?
