    Exclamation TOD disconnect?

    I was thinking about TOD and i got a question since its summer and i dont really need TOD so i was thinking maybe i can disconnect it for summer time and save up some gas and maybe its more fun just with rear drive, the question is can it cause any problems disconnecting it and driving for a couple months?

    Nope, no harm. Several VXers have already done it...do a quick search.

    When I did mine, I did not notice a change in MPG. None whatsoever. I think someone tested the TOD diconnect theory on a dyno and found that it doesnt actually disable it completely. Might want to do a search on that.

    In the end, I went back to enabling it and am happier for doing so.

    alrite i did some research and now i see whats going on, the only reason i wanted to disconnect it was to save some gas but tone prove it on dyno that even if you disconnecting computer the system still working just not the same way so there is not a big difference. So im going to just keep the way it is with out any disconnects.
    P.S Damn gas prices should go down cuz its getting to high up =(
