Forgot to note above, when Sebi was logging the ecu initially the vvt would not work annoyingly, cam sensor reading fine but cam angle did not move even though above 50deg coolant temps etc. Not sure why, initially we thought it was a wiring fault on the output or solenoid issues, but a couple...

Monday i take it out again on daily duties. No tools or nothing but have laptop just incase, bit of running about and all good. Go to Asda and park in the underground carpark, go to start and fuel pump does not prime. Start anyway and it fires up for ten seconds and conks out. Ffs no fuel pump...

Updates. Big ones. Had a few hours spare back end of last week. Rolled the Kangoo out the garage as weather finally decent, and access required to passenger side. 1st job was replace top radiator hose. I had noticed a slight split in the one that was fitted when fitting the turbo kit. New old...

Interesting that, still megane 2 rs doesnt have vvt and just as crap. Vvt is disabled until 50deg clt temps on my ecumaster, runs great in warmup however.

Yeah solid top mounts will defo add to nvh. I run oem top mounts on my bilsteins as i didnt want to drill the strut top. Quite good on oem too no complaints.

This. Mine used to instantly sort itself out as soon as on closed loop, something daft like 1 notch up the temp gauge. Remap from a decent place will sort it. Megane rs does exactly the same, think its retarded timing for faster warmup. All of mine have had it sorted when mapped, makes a mega...

Bc's are s**t for road use sadly. The adjusters dont do much, its either soft or hard. Cooksport showed me one on a damper dyno and the rebound done nothing for a few clicks. I actually hated the set of bc's i put on my old 250 cup. I also rate the bilstein b14 for road use. Plenty firm enough...

The hesitation from cold is usually due to oem mapping to warm cat up. Worse in winter when the engine takes longer to warm up, less of an issue on hotter days when engine comes up to temp fast.

Thats not a bad list to be fair, no welding or nowt simple bolt on bits. Ive had a caliper seize after being in the brake rollers. s**t happens, i think they get a bit more load on them when testing.

Heat also kills the continental engine ecu on megane 3 rs, coincidence i guess but maybe not as well engineered as sagem etc. Anybody found out what breaks in the tcm yet?

Updates. Had a spare hour or so yesterday so got a bit more done. Annoyingly id forgot to drill and tap the modified inlet for the bolt to the top engine mount. A lot of people dont bother but we do stuff right here. With this done i could refit the modified 250 inlet. Before fitting, i...

Cheers mate, getting there slowly. My hard pipe kit is an old forge one chopped about. Id like something a bit better eventually, but can wait a bit. If i do a new intercooler setup ill get something fabricated.

I seen some interior plastics on an aventime that had the same issue with worn soft touch. They cleaned it off and sprayed it in plastidip. Looked quite good, like oem. If you could find a suitable match, it might work.

Totally agree mate, i think Chris will use open loop due to time and trust in it working. Ill defo investigate the closed loop. Nothing to lose as you say and scope for more consistency, Ive noticed slight differences in boost at altitude and air temps. Not massive but as expected. Can soon go...

Standard/non sport have non sticky versions. Buy a full dash top and swap it over.
