[urq] Engine Cool-down noises / Excesive Fuel Consumption

[Maurits Jonkergouw]

Recently I had my EM replaced with a Dialynx EM and I noticed many high frequency 'ticking' noises after I shut off the engine and letting it cool down. If I recall correctly, this wasn't happening with my old EM, or at least not in such degree. Do I need to worry?

Second, after the turbo has rebuild I see a HUGE difference in fuel consumption. It was 1:7~8 before, now it's more like 1:4~5 !! (l/km). Of course I have a more spirited drive, but still...

So what might be the main causes for excesive fuel consumption (other then a heavy right foot)?

Regards and seasons greetings to all,
