Interesting. I should be able to pick mine up shortly and they suggest that super unleaded is much better for these engines. I look forward to part 2.👍
I've stuck with e5 for now. Out of interest, I couldn't see one on your channel, but it's there a video or something for all the various harnesses, adapters and add ons for your Android unit?
@@Cuttothechase sorry, I meant, is there a video or could you link to the various bits and pieces you've used to put that system together. Would like to get a new head unit, but really worried about what I'll lose from the existing features in the car.
Hello, we are shortly taking delivery of a 2005 Alphard 2.4L and i am rather worried about tghis fuel issue. my usual garage (ASDA) seems to be only supplying E10 now. Are you looking into the long term effect of E10 on these engines ?
I will be posting something up soon regarding my thoughts on the switch to to new fuels. It may be up today or tomorrow and is just my thoughts whilst I await hard results from the switch back to E5.
Not something you need to worry about. The engine in these is the 2AZ-FE engine, it is the 1AZ and 2AZ-FSE engines that ran earlier versions of direct injection (typically found in the Toyota Avensis) which are problematic. E10 95 ron will be just fine.
Lol. Nowadays you need to justify. It's never clear cut. I would say try to avoid ethanol in older cars with a lot of miles. I've still got the premium fuel tests to do though. It is important to see the reasons why I come to my conclusion and you have to admit, the fuel trim readings are a cool way to see things.
i would never subject my Alphard to such a fuel, only ever run premium 95 in my Alphard 2007 anh10 in Australia ,but since you run dual fuel why not each there own
Yes Mate always check you what you have on the channel, like to see what others think of the Alphards, once you own one you never want anything else, but that is also subjective to peoples needs aswell, fuel efficant, reliable and have all the comforts needed for a large family, who need 16 cup holders when you can keep up to 4 1.25lt soft drink bottles in the door
They really are special. Do share the channel with any Aussie fb alphard groups. I think fuel is a lot cheaper where you are. We are paying £1.37 per liter here.
Essentially fuel and air needs to mix at a certain ratio. The fuel trims show when more or less fuel is added to ensure that ratio is achieved from the expected rate. Eg if there is an unmetered air leak then more fuel is required. This is a fairly complex concept to grasp and to understand. There are many videos out there explaining it. I had to watch a lot to gain the most basic understanding.

This may now be the case

Thanks for that. Do you have a name for that video? I'll try and sort it.

Same here always used premium shell or BP in my Lexus
I don't understand what these readings are or what the significance is🤔
Perhaps you could clarify ror the uninitiated?
