probably your thermostat stuck open so the car isn't warming up (highlighten by the very low temperatures) Does your temperature gauge go up to the normal level?
you must run a relay to power the fan. The output from the ECU should be used as a relay trigger signal and not as direct power for the fan.
on at 95, off at 92 is a fairly typical setting
Cambelt kit. Aux belt kit, maybe waterpump as the engine is unknown, although they're not a weakpoint. Thermostat. check all the PAS lines round the rack for leaks as they're very hard to get to once the engine is in.
oh, worth installing spybot search and destroy too. I managed to find a couple of things with that which Avira didn't pick up on (all of which windows security and Mcafee had missed. over 30 instances of malware in total)
mines a bit more than that, but i wont use pattern water pumps (nasty monkeymetal crap with plastic impellars), and i fit a new aux belt and tensioner at the same time
If using all genuine parts then those alone come to just over £250
odd of Henk to say retarding the dephaser at top end revs isn't normally needed. I've never known it to not be needed to give an improvement. The switch point changes depending on the cams and inlet being used (plenum, ITBs etc)
Stock airbox is fine, better panel filter can make a difference...
yeah it "should". I know it's a slighty leftfield suggestion but if there's nothing loose or broken, then it'd be worth seeing if there's a fault logged and maybe a battery disconnect/reconnect
lots of ph2's had the gearbox sensor. can make a car run like a dog when the sensor breaks too.
What you might be able to do is get a dealer or specialist with CLIP to change your speedo output to using the ABS
for a 12k service (most basic one) I will change oil, oil filter, air filter and cabin filter. Looking for engine oil leaks while i'm there. Then an inspection of the condition of the brakes for excessive or uneven wear, and corrosion of the hydraulic lines. Condition of the suspension - looking...
AVG was good 5 years ago, now it's next to useless.
Avira is my current favourite. Found a lot of stuff that the pre-installed mcafee had let through un-noticed.
Norton is a massive rip off
