Decided to do some more tinkering and digging around. Opted to buy myself some kit that allows me to bench flash and obd flash many ecus, but also the dc4 getrag TCU! If you remember I had my original TCU fail, bought a Chinese supplied item but it didn't work correctly and i was told it had...

About a week ago, the car threw a gearbox warning fault (could be tied to the emissions issue/fault in the above video though mpg has improved) Decided to do some more tinkering and digging around. Opted to buy myself some kit that allows me to bench flash and obd flash many ecus, but also the...

I'm not sure what's come over me, I couldn't bring myself to start ripping the engine back out...

TurboRenault.co.uk

the last f4rt I built up I used parts from engine dynamics (try TurboRenault as a discount code) Id leave the oil pump and mains, I've also used second hand rod bolts with no issues. Plasti gauge is good for checking clearances (y), stock new head bolts were fine for the thicker HG too

Want to change your pre cat lambda but not sure how? Watch Adey's easy change, DIY video guide (y) 😁

got an angle or bench grinder? not too hard to add a fresh tip to a drill bit

been there done that, drill the head off, easy really. small bit down the middle then keep stepping up (y)

I didn't realise how faded the paint work was, it has been way too long since I've cleaned it. Started with a rinse off at the local car wash then busted out the polisher. Comes up well considering the age, need to get something on there to try and keep it looking like that for longer, any...

i think there are a varying level of faults in these, all heat or age related. Capacitor didn't work for myself and neither did the import tcu, that said it might be perfect but just needs the correct data flashing on it. May look into this for the future when my replacement TCU eventually fails

It has active charging, the alternator only charges when needed. There's a voltage sensor on the battery that reads this.

Didn't work for me, had the incorrect firmware, I threw my toys out of the pram and fitted a tcu from a breaker. Working fine now. Pretty sure you remove 6 screws and the top pcb board pulls off the bottom one.

So after nearly 8 weeks away its back on the driveway. I've not started refitting the interior yet but have cracked on with the headlights and indicators. I did originally put yellow tint on the new larger units but decided to remove them as I did a curse word job at the edges. Cars looking...
