AFM is bolted to the top of ur air box, very easy to get at

Heres A Pic Of The Afm

What do you check it with? Where can you buy the thing to check it with from?

you can pick one up from **** Smith, or any places like that, im gonna give it a go aswell cuz im only getting 400km to a tank if im LUCKY.

I have a VL Wagon 3ltr and get about 380km's per a tank, thats driving pretty crusie as well. What about the fuel mixture? Do you have to check that too if you change the airflow setting?

i just replaced my AFM...already seen a massive improvement in petrol..looking at getting atleast 500..with the old one in i was lucky to get 300.. next i need to clean me injecters..

whats teh easiest way to find out if ur AFm is dead or not??

mine holds 61 litres from dead empty as in run out of fuel lol the fuel gaudge broke a while back but its fixed now.

I adjusted my AFM today. It was reading 398, so i'v changed it to 382. Hopefully it makes a difference.

my first calais had a 50 litre tank, but my others had 63.

hey guys, i'm wondering if i should try all this stuff as i'm only getting about 350km's a tank using PULP. The reason i ask is my n/a VL has a been fitted with a Chiptorque HP3 chip and cam package. would that be affecting the fuel economy much? should i just go ahead and do all the stuff 'vldude'03' listed? anyone know anything about these Chiptorque chip and cam packages relating to fuel economy?

lol standard fuel tanks from vb to vs are all the same 63L

I am usually lucky to get 300km. The funny thing is, to test my economy I filled up my tank and drove it like a granny, not going over 3000rpm, and I still only get about 300km WTF!!! This is 50/50 higway and city driving. The car has been serviced - new spark plugs, leads, dizzy cap, rotor etc. I have noticed when I flat stick it I can see the fuel gauge moving down, then when I ease off it goes back up. If I was to keep the car I would want to get to the cause of the excessive fuel comsumption, but as I am getting rid of it soon, I can't be bothered wasting my time.

i will be trying the afm adjustment tomorrow, just wondering what fuel do people use that get around 600km per tank, premium or reg unleaded?

whats the easiest way to find out if ur AFM is dead or not?? and how can you adjust it urself ?
