Where is the go to to get a gearbox shipped now? @2 Clios Jon has a gearbox in Darlington but it is a way from me. I’ve looked at the UPS option but it says a gearbox is on the prohibited list.
So another update. I checked the cold resistance of the injectors, they were all 11.1 ohms. I persistently get a bank 1 sensor 2 lambda heater circuit code stored, so I swapped to the decat with another lambda sensor in it. Now instead of flashing for 10 seconds at a time it’ll flash for 2...
Still cannot work out what this overrun rattle is. So far I’ve:
Swapped vvt solenoid with known good one
Replaced the Dephaser with a brand new one
Taken the exhaust off at the v-band on the turbo as some people suggested it could be a blow.
But it’s still the same. I want to get to the bottom...
It really is strange, especially as before all this it was totally fine. It only flashes at very light throttle. My only other thought is the ecu was adapting something as it was the first time I’d driven it with the new updated ecu. I will check the resistance of the injectors and go from there.
Thought I’d update, now have the new ecu updated with the map from ED which is all good. On Andy’s recommendation it’s booked in with him on the 25th March for some dyno time to check the map is all okay.
I do now have an occasional flashing engine light on very light throttle so think I may...
Yes we did. Alex from awmotorworks popped by Sunday (long story but he was in my area) he connected Clip and couldn’t delete any faults out of anything.
So we swapped the ecu sets from the cup to my silver car and it fired straight up and equally having the cup set on the silver car still had...
Yeah it’s not connected or got a fuse in it. Would be nice to have if I ever leave the car in a hotel car park before a track day but I’ll worry about that another time
Graham was trying to make the central locking useable with the kill switch off, ignore that part of the diagram as it needs some more modification to make it work.
I cleaned that up today (not that it was crusty at all) as i had that issue on my silver one.
My worry at the moment is something got spiked, but my multimeter is at work so can’t check anything properly.
I’ve replaced the kill switch this morning as I had a new one in the garage. More investigation required 😊
So unfortunately my 172 Turbo died yesterday and at present I’m stumped as to why it won’t restart. I’ll start with the story that got me to this point!
So yesterday I took the car to the Sunday scramble, drove there in the morning no issues at all. When I got there I turned off the car then...
I’ve never used engine dynamics for work on a car, but have bought lots of parts. Always helpful and when he didn’t have supertec exhaust valves in stock after ordering, instead of refunding he offered me the next level up valves which were £90 more, but offered we went halves so I only paid £45.
