Cheers mate just trying to get all the little bits right on this and hopefully will get a few trouble free trackdays out of it soon?
Are you going to Cs festival in August ? I can bring the laptop and clip with me to reconfig your setup to suit no bother. If not im sure we can sort something out?
Replace the battery in the fob and check the microswitch is still attatched to the circuit board regarding remote central locking.
All doors should lock off the interior button i would check fuses and then go onto wiring. If you have access to clip maybe scan and actuate the door locks to test.
Been looking into this myself. I believe you need the pin code to match the vin number associated with the uch to program the keys with clip. I also hear other programs will do it without too not sure if true or not ?
Nearly had the beans all over the table haha. I rarely go to a greasy spoon but this was awesome, massive plate of filth
I hope its of use to people in the future ?
Cheers mate, i have some clear side repeaters and some headlamps off the last of this shape kangoo with clear indicators...
Weekend update
Refitted later 172 ecu/uch and fired engine up from cold - idled normal and settled down to 800ish rpm idle when hot. I scanned it with clip and a load of old faults were stored relating to ct temp sensor etc assuming off the old car - cleared them and no furthur idle issues -...
Good to hear its sorted - nothing worse than unwanted lights on ! i knew it wouldnt be custom firmware for cup uch.
Do you know where the vin is stored ? my old ecu/uch pack said d4f instead of f4r and vin number of pretty much 12345. Fitted 2nd hand setup and still says the same ? is it the...
Got to the bottom of this in the end
Basically refitted later 172 ecu/uch and fired engine up from cold - idled normal and settled down to 800ish rpm idle when hot. I scanned it with clip and a load of old faults were stored relating to ct temp sensor etc assuming off the old car - cleared them...
Managed it with a couple of hours on clip playing about ?
Basically recalibrate the multiplex network to set abs and steering angle sensor to missing
Then recalibrate the clocks to remove course (Trajectory) control system to turn the esp light off. Job done no more network faults or serv...
You can take the heatsheilds off without any problems usually...you could fit some reflective heat shielding or similar if worried about it. Most motorsport places sell a variety of heat management products.
Coming along great?
I need to reconfig the clocks on my kangoo to lose the esp on the 2nd hand ecu/uch i have. Looks pretty simple according to the manual, any tips ? Says batt off, reconfig without turning ign on etc. Do you need to manually input vin on clip ?
Knotted wheel on a grinder will remove factory underseal no bother. Beware its messy and time consuming, wear goggles as a trip to the eye infirmary is not nice (from previous experiences !)
I would spot remove underseal where the rust is forming, clean up with knotted wheel, if metal is thin...
Check out the vin number on the current uch lol also case says n3 uch on the cover but scans as n2 ? Feck knows no wonder the rear door is always open.
Thanks for reading ?
Update
Jc5 129 with speedo sensor collected, get that fitted soon
Took it to FCS last weekend, steady drive there and back drives great with new leads on, no hesitation or nowt. As still on knackered gearbox took it steady as 3/4th gear crunch is quite bad now.
Late night greasy spoon on A453...
Had a great day good to catch up with everybody?
@Djw John we seen you and the RB on the hard shoulder of the M18 on way there was going to pull over but had no gear on us. Hope they get it recovered back to you asap keep on at them
Had the pleasure of helping to remove a seized fiesta tdci injector today. Only had an hr and basic tools which did not really get it going. Inlet off tomorrow to get heavy duty on it ?
Sounds fine to me, some fecking useless mot testers out there. The clio is renowned for sloppy top mounts too when jacked up for mot and my springs are the same no issues.
I had a massive bust up with an mot tester over my engine converted extra van. Engine is 1985 carburettor gtt turbo engine...
Try a new seal and sealant it might work for a bit, i think you will have to live with that oil leak unless you get the cam cover welded or replace the head though.
I would not worry if its oil on plug thread cam cover prob leaking a little bit. Replace coil pack if its got a black terminal it will have been arcing
Still nice to see the older cars about quite a few retros in daily use near me.
My r5gtt feels tiny compared to any modern ish small car - corsa/fiesta etc. Its still a nice drive though feels raw no driver aids or nowt. I should make the effort to get it out more than a couple of times a year...
