visconte: as I see you have no problem with articulating your thoughts, I would love to see your reaction to possible engine failure in your VX. Dallas has a point, not just in this thread - let go.

We need to know these type problems, every single one of them, to see if there is a pattern, if there is something that can prevent us from seeing a bill for $6k.
My VX has almost 37000 miles on the odo. I am watching it very closely. For couple of weeks I experienced a major loss of power, and a grinding noise between third and fourth gear, between 2000 and 2500 rpm. I thought it was my tranny. It turned out my fuel injector system was clogged really badly. Regardless, I was so scared about my engine and tranny I spent some time reading the board closely, and was able to discuss thoroughly any possibilities with my mechanic. I was able to tell him where to look and what to check, and get exact answers from him. That saved me from major heart attack.

Good lesson is learned lesson. If it takes for someone to repeat the info for the fifth time, I'll be glad to read it again. Maybe that fifth time will bring something that I might've overlooked the first four times. Thx you guys.
