Sound fantastic, but there is a problem:
The 97-98 Africa, also has a throttle position indicator and a different
CDI unit. So theoreticly the difference can't be in those little
tubes!!?
Anyone else had done this and can confirm the change in consumption?
I was ready to do it last week, but didn't since both me and my mechanic
beleive that the difference has got to be in the new CDI unit!
Please confir your results, if it is true, it is defenately worth the
work!
