Help! Need advice on slight bogging at 3000 rpm



How did you (or the mechanic) adjust the plunger back to specs? Is there a
procedure in the Bentley?

Also, what do you mean when you refer to "re-programming the driver"? Are
you not running CIS-E? Or are you referring to changing your driving style?!
;)

Thanks for the input - JT
