Its highly annoying tbh
I know feck all about mapping, all ive been told by people is thats its over fueling which can cause bore wash etc.
That why i want to get it on rollers with a AFR probe etc
Its getting mapped by RST
Black one was sold to BenR (Im not spending 50k on this one to, its gona come in under 5k)
Cant wait to just drive it, the noise is sexy!
TDi north (2 mins away) said he will RR it with a AFR reading for £40 (superflow rollers)
What you think? worth doing, or just get it mapped and get the RR then?
Quote from my project thread;
Will i have to pay for a full remap? is there anyway I can just get the fueling altered? (I know feck all about remaps/ignition timing, AFR etc)
Paul at RS tuning said he could do me a full remap for around £300 = vat, Thoughts? Can the fueling just be altered...
YEY!
Compression
195 193 195 198
Leak down test was all less than 5%
Bores look good,
He said its over fueling big time, he said 10,000 more miles with that much fuel and it will be "bore washed to f**k"
So good news and ok news! £370 for a map, bum :(
Oh and he said I need a new...
Servo vac pipe may be fitted but somtimes they are loose if they have been pulled out
fit a cable tie to it TIGHT! as a quick fix, see if that works! If it does then replace it with a small jubilee!
Second thing to check would be at the servo end
run the engine for 5 mins (get the oil warm)
get a oil filter (and oil filter remover tool, of you dont have one), some good 5w 40 oil fully synthitic (halfords have it on offer for £27 for 5ltr, its the own brand but gets good reviews) and a new sump washer (halfords will sell them)
Jack...
