Hi Guys, yes, I will be doing this myself - time permitting - The blower is from a volkswagon specialist, I was ringing around trying to get a g-lader compressor when I found a guy with the Rotrex, he had it on a 20v vw unit giving about 275 @ flywheel. Unit is 3 weeks use only - he changed...

Hi Des, ok, there are a few thngs you can try its probably more technique really. use the brakes to slow the car.. ie - dont drop a cog with excessive use of the clutch to slow down and synch the gears, also, try to avoid clutch slip at take off. the usual culprit is the down change...

des, you suffered cluth fade by the sound of it.. same as brake fade.. the clutch works on the same principle as the brakes.. ie, friction material against a disk. it is possible to overheat the clutch linings and 2 events can occur.. 1st is glazing of the linings.. although unlikely as...

Hi Sir, the ecu can store information such as intermittent faults on a sensor, and also adapt on a continuous basis to the engine characteristics, such as adaptations to the ignition map positions due to a knock event etc - or, when using a lower octain fuel. the unit is contiuously...
