    Can anybody give me a general list/photo or similar of vacuum lines to check?

    My sx majorly lacks power, slightly stutters/hesitates under load for example just after a gear change, and when accelerating you can juuussst make out slight hesitation kind of like missing. Also struggles to start at times, and seems to ping excessively, even on 91 RON at normal timing.

    quite a few parts have been changed. Sick of swapping, guessing etc...

    try a tune up so that you can eliminate maintaince items. Fuel filter, plugs, wires, cap , rotor, oil, run a seafoam, fuel injector cleaner etc

    Doing fuel filter tomorrow, rest has been done, except no seafoam in aus sadly, and i doubt that all these injector/fuel system cleaner products do anything....

    Fuel filter could be it, otherwise il knock out the cat, hopefully doesnt make it loud, just managed to get the exhaust silenced today...

    I just replaced my fuel filter... Slight PITA! Especially when the bolt is striped.

    Which bolt? I tried to undo the top one for a start, its on tight as, and the whole bracket and filter twists with the bolt :shock:

    Should help at least my starting problem though haha...

    When you change the fuel filter, pull the charcoal box and intake out, makes it alot easier.
