few Ive owned over the years

I've no idea, I've got an autel and it allows me to do it in the ECU hot functions menu it also allows me to increase or decrease idle by 100rpm of the factory base

This won't do anything. Unplug the TB and leave it disconnected for 30 seconds, once reconnected turn ignition on and leave it for 30 seconds before starting. When doing this you hear the TB running through a sequence (on the 1.2 16v anyway!) Or plug in diagnostic machine and reset adaptations

Rare in that colour but the fact the side skirt rivets have been painted over and rust is visible at the base, id bet there's a nasty surprise under that side skirt

Looks perfectly normal to me?

EFI, having owned a handful of them and had a few maps, EFI is the place to go. The injectors are pushed pretty hard from factory though and some places wont even map them on standard injectors. Pop a set of 172/182 injectors in it though and you will have 135hp ish - can push upwords towards...

I don't know much about these engines, there will no doubt be some golden threads on here from back in the day. As you say you wont really get much more power from it and will struggle to find any aftermarket parts these days but just stick to the old school tuning methods, cone filter with as...

Rubbish weather today but still got some time to start a clean up. Fitted a set of new genuine mats Loving the little details of stuff I haven't seen for years!

Weathers been too crap today to give it a clean and get a good look at it but this is promising!

Theres always plenty of options for 2.0 16v fun if i need it 😂

Yeah plan is to just keep it factory and maintain it! Today's job is making space in the garage for it 😂

Yeah she's pretty clean having been garaged all it's life apparently, no fading either!! If it was a campus with no sunroof it would be ideal for a conversion

Collected yesterday, no decent pics yet but car is mint. Surprise of the day was that it's capsicum red, not the deep cherry red colour that I assumed it was! Started the trip up the road, I had let my daughter stay off school and come with me for an adventure, bad move as shes very observant...

Those who follow my various project threads know I'm always messing about with various MK2's and buying cheap stuff, tidying up then generally shifting them on once I'm done. I do it for the satisfaction and rarely actually make any money as I always like to chase perfection. Recently its been...

That service book is giving me a sore head

Your post on the forum enquiring about getting it thru an MOT 😂 In that case just replace the manifold with a factory one with cat, job done

Does it still have the cat on the manifold? Mine still has the cat on the manifold but ive done away with the 2nd cat on the exhaust system and it passes emissions no problem

Bet that goes well!

yeah i get that but cant you use AI to generate the 3d model

Can you not get AI to do this stuff these days, i seen everyone was doing this GTA AI thing on social media so stuck my van into it as ive never tried it before and was curious how easy it was.

Ive had a Roborock for the last 3 years, its been flawless other than about once a year i need to remap (stage 2 bro...) the house as it seems to get confused and start walking into walls and getting lost

check for the throttle body sticking and not fully returning to its closed position. worth a smoke test to look for leaks

No issues with coding, just swap the unit over 👍 Yeah I've only used Arnie Clark for RS cars under warranty and they are utterly atrocious. My wife bought a brand new Clio from them last year, factory order, waited 4 months for it as expected, picked it up, developed a fault on the way home...

No such thing. That is the issue. Take it to a well regarded local auto electrician. The headlights are as above, the same as any facelift mk4 with the LED front headlights, loads about on ebay for £300-£400 each if required

No word on retro stickers 👀?

Yeah its the V6 interior flipped, stereo power button and speedo with milage screen on wrong side etc! - not an easy thing to recreate for the sake of a minor detail 😂

That's using the same model my mate used above, was based on a 5 door

Lower arms are different as is the front shocks so I'd assume you would need them as a bare minimum and probably the shafts, brakes, arb etc

as mentioned above once the weight of the car is on it there's no issues so i wouldn't worry about it too much

swap it out for a 2018/2019 unit they are miles better! much better option than some of the aftermarket ones which i agree are a bit of a compromise with lag and taking a while to startup
