SRC Member AlfaRomeo Posted February 8, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted February 8, 2005 Mg is one of the most important things to check. MG should be around 1200- 1400. Only with this level, will your Kh and CA be able to maintained properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
