Hello. I have a problem where the car sometimes won't start. I turn the key to start it, and nothing happens, then i back the key and start it again, and then it starts fine. Sometimes, if it takes more that 4 key turns to start, the immo kicks in and it cuts off after cranking for a couple of...

I've checked and added about a liter of oil. It seems its doing the same. I've probably fucked the 5th syncros didn't I?

Hello. All of a sudden my 172 ph2 started having problems with 5th gear. Gear engages normally, but when throttle is applied the gearstick moves back a lot ( only in 5th) and the 5th disengages with a slight crunch. Anyone had any problems with 5th gear syncros? Or should i be looking at the...

Hello, it's me again. Front wipers work only when i pull the stalk to wash the windscreen, doesn't work when selecting the 4 clicks. I've swapped the stalks completely because the clock spring nuked itself, and it didn't fix the problem. Is this just a french car being weird as always?

Hello. I'm having some problems again, a bit of a weird one. It can work fine for a couple of days, then not at all. it will crank for a couple secs when it decides to not work, but the cut out. Sometimes, i turn it over a couple more times and it starts right up, sometimes id cranks for two...

Why can't i find it? I'Ve already checked for continuity, wires go straight to ecu.

Hello guys. Can't seem to find my thread anymore, so i'll post it again. Temp gauge stays low, fans are always on, even 2 mins after turning it off. Temp on diag shows -40. Changed temp sender, same result.

Not yet, i've kinda focused on that -40° the diag is showing me.

Hello guys. I'm having some trouble figuring out a coolant temp sender issue. Temp gauge stays low all the time, fans working all the time and for about 2 mins after I shut the car off. Checked on diag for live data and its steady at -40°c. Sensor changed, wires to the ecu checked for...

Okay, might have to do some digging then. Does this have a primary and secondary lambda? Coluld it be the injectors are spraying wrong? I'd like to upgrade the injectors anyways, and add a catch can somewhere. Might have a look around that.

No traction control on mine, so no problem really. What about the vw box? Have a couple of those, don't mind notching the leg. Are the bolt holes similiar? Can't get better than 17mpg on mine. Maybe if i'm really careful abiut my driving i can get about 20, but thats really not enjoying it. I'd...

What are some compadible gearboxes that i should find? Asking more about the bolt pattern etc. I'm also a VW fanboy, so the rule of thumb there is that 6 cylinder gboxes fit on any 6 cyl. So are 4 cyl boxes. So might find some other gearbox with better gearing.

Thanks for the replies. So a diesel 5th wouldn't work?

Hello. I'm looking for some info as to what 5th gear i should use, for highway cruising. Not for top speed since its a daily and just a fun road car. More about reducing the highway revs for some mpg improvement, i usually just use the 1-4 gears anyways. I don't know the code of my gearbox...

Just sometimes. No rule really, sometimes it cranks for how ever long i hold the key, sometimes it cuts out after a couple of secs.

Any help?

Has this been resolved? I'm having the same issues

UPDATE: got the UCH checked, loose solder on all three connections, fixed a couple problems, it now reads rpm, but still no start. Also, now i can crank it without pressing the button. Anyone?

Also, diagnostics gives me a couple of codes that i can't quite relate, that leads me to to ecu again; -throttle potentiometer ( intermittent) - +30 voltage ( intermittent) - throttle control valve ( present) Codes can't be cleared, sometimes it gives a couple more but can't remember which ones.

I've already checked the connector, looks fine so didn't do much. Just a quick contact spray on it. The cluster playing led me to believe the crank sensor is done, but changed it and the connector today and still no luck. Also, the live data from the diag shows 0 rpm while cranking ( with the...

Hello. Ran into some gremlins a couple of days ago. Car was running on idle for about 10 mins while i ran some diagnostic software just for the sake of it. I notices the rev gauge was a bit weird as it jumped from 500-2000-1000 etc, while the car was idling fine and running great. I shut it off...

I will buy them from a private seller. just the struts naked, so I have to buy the h&r springs or any lowering or stock springs should be fine?

Hello! I shoud fit some koni sports on my valver sometime next week, but the springs arent included in the package, does it matter what brand of springs I fit onto them, or it has to be koni springs? (Dunno if they even produce springs) can i fit lets say ta-technix or eibach springs onto them?

WHOA! Helpfull is a huge understatement! Thank you so much, we need more people like You!

Hello. I am breaking for parts my Boxster S, and Im taking the brakes off of it, to put them on the 16v.. Now, I suppose the brakes are the same four pots of the megane? The Porsche ones are about 250mm's in lenght, bolt spacing is 130mm, and the bolt holes diameter is 12mm, Can anyone tell me...

Thanks for the advice, but nope...

Hello, i am loosing my mind the last 6 months searching for coilovers to fit on the 1.4s, and that don't cost a bizillion bucks.. I know for certain there are some 1.4s's lowered on fk coilovers, but can someone tell me where the hell do I buy them? Please! You are my last chance...

Hello guys. I am happy to finally say, I have managed to put Porsche Boxster electric and heated seats in my mk1! (sort of) So the story goes like this.. My old daily car (Porsche boxster 986 S) is currently being sold for parts, due to a pretty bad accident I had some months ago.. SO! I...
