Hi,
I got my grandad free bargain MX83/1989 Cressida going, registered etc. but
This thing drink petrol like  ... anyway, what is fuel consumption for this car in a decent city driving (Melbourne)
I am getting about 18 litres per 100 km!!!
Is this a beauty of 7M standard engine, 4-speed auto, and 15" wheels?
Or something else is staffed. Friend heard something about sensors that go faulty (O2 sensor etc) and generate wrong info for "on board" ECU computer. Any info how to test/fix them. Any idea ideas on what else can be wrong if this fuel consumption is not normal?
I have another problem. This car has rear end about 5 cm (measuring from the centre of the wheel to the wheel arch) higher then the front. Looks somewhat funny. Is it a beauty of this vintage or front struts/coil springs are sagging. If so is it strut, or coil or both and what is the cheapest way to fix it.
Grandpapa was not heavy, and the car done 150ooo k.
After rego and insurance cannot afford to drive it too much but it is nice, quiet and very comfortable.
Will appreciate any advice, as well as any info about factory workshop manual.
Best regards
Greg
