Hello guys.
I'm having some trouble figuring out a coolant temp sender issue.
Temp gauge stays low all the time, fans working all the time and for about 2 mins after I shut the car off.
Checked on diag for live data and its steady at -40°c.
Sensor changed, wires to the ecu checked for...
Okay, might have to do some digging then. Does this have a primary and secondary lambda?
Coluld it be the injectors are spraying wrong?
I'd like to upgrade the injectors anyways, and add a catch can somewhere. Might have a look around that.
No traction control on mine, so no problem really.
What about the vw box? Have a couple of those, don't mind notching the leg. Are the bolt holes similiar?
Can't get better than 17mpg on mine.
Maybe if i'm really careful abiut my driving i can get about 20, but thats really not enjoying it. I'd...
What are some compadible gearboxes that i should find? Asking more about the bolt pattern etc.
I'm also a VW fanboy, so the rule of thumb there is that 6 cylinder gboxes fit on any 6 cyl. So are 4 cyl boxes.
So might find some other gearbox with better gearing.
Hello. I'm looking for some info as to what 5th gear i should use, for highway cruising.
Not for top speed since its a daily and just a fun road car.
More about reducing the highway revs for some mpg improvement, i usually just use the 1-4 gears anyways.
I don't know the code of my gearbox...
UPDATE: got the UCH checked, loose solder on all three connections, fixed a couple problems, it now reads rpm, but still no start.
Also, now i can crank it without pressing the button. Anyone?
Also, diagnostics gives me a couple of codes that i can't quite relate, that leads me to to ecu again;
-throttle potentiometer ( intermittent)
- +30 voltage ( intermittent)
- throttle control valve ( present)
Codes can't be cleared, sometimes it gives a couple more but can't remember which ones.
I've already checked the connector, looks fine so didn't do much. Just a quick contact spray on it.
The cluster playing led me to believe the crank sensor is done, but changed it and the connector today and still no luck.
Also, the live data from the diag shows 0 rpm while cranking ( with the...
Hello.
Ran into some gremlins a couple of days ago.
Car was running on idle for about 10 mins while i ran some diagnostic software just for the sake of it.
I notices the rev gauge was a bit weird as it jumped from 500-2000-1000 etc, while the car was idling fine and running great.
I shut it off...
Hello! I shoud fit some koni sports on my valver sometime next week, but the springs arent included in the package, does it matter what brand of springs I fit onto them, or it has to be koni springs? (Dunno if they even produce springs) can i fit lets say ta-technix or eibach springs onto them?
Hello. I am breaking for parts my Boxster S, and Im taking the brakes off of it, to put them on the 16v..
Now, I suppose the brakes are the same four pots of the megane?
The Porsche ones are about 250mm's in lenght, bolt spacing is 130mm, and the bolt holes diameter is 12mm,
Can anyone tell me...

Hello guys.
I am happy to finally say, I have managed to put Porsche Boxster electric and heated seats in my mk1! (sort of)
So the story goes like this.. My old daily car (Porsche boxster 986 S) is currently being sold for parts, due to a pretty bad accident I had some months ago.. SO! I...
Hello guys.
I have a set of RSi alloys on my mk1, and I want to change the rims.. I was looking for some measurements of the RSi rims, but I can't understand some measurements.. They are 14x6J rims, but whats the offset? I can't seem to find that mark on the rim..
I did but im just wondering are they the same size, i mean the arch? I wouldn't want to buy some, bay for them hundred bucks and then realizing they are way too big for making my own arches.. is there a standar size or anything like that?
Could you kindly give me a link to something you think might work? I am really skeptic about buying those, in pictures they don't seem like they would fit
Hello. I would like to know from which car are the fenders in the picture below, or if anyone knows the owner of that particular clio, it would help me much! thanks...
Yes, i have contacted avo, spax, gaz, KW etc., but as I don't live in Britain, i live far far away, and at 600 quid i am really not that interessed it coilovers. I have found coilovers for the cars i mentioned up above, can they fit?
