I wouldn't of thought so. Mine just all of a sudden done it and wouldn't idle at all, although cleaning it out only stopped it for a little while. See how you get on!
OP - Original Post, so you :p lol!
its on the back of the top inlet plenum, to the right of the coil pack. It says VDO on it but you can't see it unless you look behind it. Unfortunatly Haynes don't do a manual for the car, this site is the only decent resource for information!
OP your VDO is probably knackered. Mine was too, gets full of oil/gunk and doesn't let airflow so it can't determine what the engine is taking in. Two 10mm bolts, get it off spray some WD40 inside it and get a screwdriver or cotton bud and get the gunk out from around it!
Impey - I'll have a...
Re: Ben_stevo172 - Supercharged Monaco 172
Umm, you do realise that you can't really do this with a charger. It has a plate in between the intercooler and supercharger which restricts airflow. You could make up a butterfly type valve thing, similiar to a throttle but it would be pointless...
I don't think it does, only if a sensor is disconnected. If you were braking really hard then it may of tried stepping round, due to the nature of the car the back end is really light. I get it happening every now and again when breaking really hard, but I do have to be stamping on the pedals...
I had this happen before too on a couple of cars. Never found out what it was just kept driving it. If you pump your brakes whilst you weren't slowing you would of probably of been fine!
My restrictor is smaller, its 29.1mm and yours is 30mm. Keeping it a little lower isn't a bad thing as I imagine mine will do a lot more track work than yours. My limiter isn't at 146 apparently ;)
It's a lot smoother now its mapped properly and just runs a lot better. Got to sort out the...
Possibly coming down to JMS if I decide on Bimarcos for my Xmas present :)
I know the track manager ;)
Definitely :approve::D Was good to finally meet you too!
Do you mean December as you've missed September ;) I've got one Sunday possibly but definitely the 19th, I can probably get you on for a day at that price, thats bloody expensive!
In second gear rolling about 30 its immense. Around our way there are a few test roads, I'm getting 15mph more...
Well, had my final mapping session today at RSTuning, up at 6 and off for the 3 hour journey! Got it on the rollers and was already running just over 200 with the restrictor at 29.1mm.
After Paul working some magic it ended up running 238.5bhp/198lbft @ 0.45bar boost and 199.9bhp at the wheels...
