| General comments: | Comfortable drive but nervous about its issues. | |
| Problems: | Hi! As I drive the car sort of chugs along like its starved for fuel. I have cleaned the injectors and the air pump but nothing has changed. It has started using a lot of petrol and when idling I can smell the petrol fumes. I don't know what to check next! The oil and power steering fluid also seems to run out a bit quick. | |
| Previous car: | Ford falcon xr6 |

| Hi Kylie My Mitsubishi RVR is doing exactly the same thing, just wondering if you have had any luck with resolving the issue or had any advice about what it could be? I'm planning on taking my car to my mechanic but with being so close to xmas now I'm scared it's going to cost me a small fortune to fix. The toxic smell seems to be getting worse and I'm scared it's going to catch fire or something dangerous. I would love to hear from you and how you are getting on with your RVR, cheers. Kind Regards, Rachael. |

| Hi there, I'm having the same issues. Chugging a bit and smell of petrol sometimes. It needs to run on highest octane possible I just found out. |
