Hi gang, Recently the car has been doing an odd thing with the wipers and electric windows Get into the car, start it and drive off.....all is well. Wipers working, windows working. Then i can hear a little click of what sounds like a relay in the passenger area and the wipers stop working. I...

Well, i had the centre section replaced in 2016 twice as welds failed a couple of times.............no issues there But the baffles sound to have gone in the back box now..........sounds 'orrible :( J

Thread resurrection I know. Seems that Ktec have stopped dealing with Janspeed who made the original Stealth exhausts. Their warranty policy has changed as well so it would seem that if you have an original item, they are no longer dealing with warranty requests for the old systems, at all...

Legend @STEVE.M Cheers bud

Interesting point Steve as I may be faced with the same stripping job as bozo soon. Any specific type of grease? I thought the manual stated some fancy stuff Also, anyone know if that wee plastic/rubber nubbin is replaceable or should it be replaced? J

You have no entries for * sup beer * swear * swear * SWEAR

Hi bud, I have run cleaners through when this all started to appear thinking it was originally fuel/filter related etc and no difference J

To be fair, the thread has basically covered everything wrong with the car and I do hope it might be of use for some. You know...........we have hit timing, map readings, replacement of LOTS of stuff now we are doing logging etc Also to me...............its kind of a big deal that I replaced...

i mean, it actually looks to be tracking the front o2 sensor in a lot of that :/

ok, so here is the plot once the car was warm and I was driving blue is front o2, oscillating as expected orange is rear o2, fairly static in and around 0.4 (not sure what scale that is but same scale as blue) here is the plot towards the end of the journey No EML light on way home mind...

Going to data log the whole journey home but sods law....................it will be absolutely perfect Things like this make you wish you were logging all of the time ffs

Interesting points Rob. In my head it has always been a binary switch on these cars..........well.............every time i have been looking at the logs (which has been a-lot lately to be fair) it has always sat between 4/500. That is why i was surprised to see it doing a roller coaster this...

Nipped out while chomping a sammich there and let it run up, grabbed some quick torque O2 logs...............i mean, all looks fine now. Bear in mind it was still sort of coming off cold start. That rear one was off its crack earlier............

Tonight is bucked for me fella as while I will be close, I have to sort out a few things for mum around the same time. Keep me posted and we can hook up soon. J

Will do buddy

might try using torque logging these on the way home as i have just realised that it is actually not bad in that regard with a bit of my finest excel jiggery pokery i have a chart :)

Very interesting post Steve.............. Just seems odd that this is the first time I have ever noticed the value of the rear O2 changing when I was driving it. It was always a static value. J

Bosch 0 258 006 046 That is right isnt it?

well balls. front lambda is brand spanky new :/

Yep. That is what I thought. I have a few other O2's at home so will swing one in tonight and see if it changes the light Other observation is that this thing is banging out of the exhaust........and it never did. Not "pops and bangs" banging but say letting it run down in 2nd or 3rd from high...

It is bud............while sitting in traffic i threw on my "worlds cheapest piece of turd bluetooth OBD reader" from the glovebox............it does server a purpose sometimes :P that is where i got the error code from popped up both O2 outputs in torque (the traffic was BAD) and the rear O2...

Still haven't managed to grab any logs yet, sorry about that. Total fart this morning though as I approached the end of my street. Went to pull out from the end of the junction, car running fine....cold and lumpy but usual. Pushed the pedal to go and......................nothing. Didn't...

You have no idea how much this EXACT thing stressed me after I sorted the aux belt.......................I had convinced myself she was gonna blow After half an hours stressing, I realised the same was loose. I hate the fuel rail guard. lol. J

Cheers bud, this wee one is just boking so not a patch on the pox but still.....sucks J

Will have to get another data run Rob which has been scuppered tonight as one of the littl'uns is sick bless her. Will do asap J

Thanks for the responses guys, apologies for the delays. Driving the car now a few weeks since the main issues were seemingly sorted and you know what, i still feel hesitation and holding back at low rpm and light pedal situations Car will kangaroo like a lunatic in stop start traffic, say in...

You are just trying to make sure I stay busy aren't you @bloke ? :P

Ok. all connections pulled and cleaned where needed, given a good coating of the connection cleaner, allowed to dry and refitted so we will see how it goes. Had a good old hoke around the cables too and can't see any obvious breaks or anything but I appreciate it would not typically be visible...

Thanks @JamesBryan
