    he probably had to do a bit of mileage before the computer realised the car was driving but without using any fuel.sometimes technology these days isnt as clever as they make out.it probably worked on the prevoiusly memorised figures until the averages it was calculating just didnt add up.

    FAO: Jay172

    have you got throttle bodies fitted? if the original ecu is no longer doing the fueling then thats your problem because the instrument panel no longer has fuel consumption information from the ecu.

    FAO: Jay172

    this basically means one of the inputs it needs to calculate mpg etc is missing.either information from the tank sender unit(fuel level etc) or fuel consumption information from the injection ecu.if you put your instrument panel into test mode it will give you a letter code so you can find out...

    ECU and VVT

    the vvt timing is controlled by the ecu.the ecu controls a solenoid in the cylinder head which directs oil down oil channels.there are two oil channels and each channel is linked to one side of the vanes in the dephasor.i suppose a chip could change the operating ranges of vvt if it wanted to.

    Why are my heaters so crap

    replace matrix and coolant.give all your pipes a good flush out with a hose pipe before you refit the matrix.remember to flush out all the engine hoses and the radiator as well.a sign that it needs doing is the expansion bottle will be coated with orange/brown gunge on the inside.

    Why are my heaters so crap

    if your engine is up to temp then defo heater matrix.internal corrosion inside the cooling system gradually blocks up the matrix.if you dont flush it out and change the coolant then it will just block up your new matrix.
