Updates. 250 out for a few bits yesterday. First job was to fit a Properfekt recirc valve. I had fitted a blanking plate before mapping and had noted the car flashing up spanner light for a split second on high rpm throttle lift/hitting rev limiter and throttle close. Basically the spanner...

Repair your current heatshields. Use something like this https://ebay.us/m/jXycHl

As above, yellowstuff are terrible, avoid. I use ferodo ds1.11. They work/bite better than oem from cold. Downside, is they are a race pad. So brake dust and noise are both high. Ideally if doing a fair few road miles, best solution is to run stock pads for road use and fit the good pads for...

Double cleck everything for play/make sure wishbone bolts torqued to spec. If all good, id get the geo checked again. Tc comes on when geo is out.

Check the wiring from coolant temp sensor to ecu to see if its shorted out or bad connection. Assuming new sensor is good, can only be that or ecu as the data is sent to the dash via canbus. Also what does live data says on the obd.

Stick another set of dials in.

Id bin the klarius exhaust for something a bit more free flowing and get an exhaust place to extend the centre pipe to manifold with a flexipipe and vband, so only one joint.

Disconnect the clt sensor on thermostat housing and see what coolant temp gauge reads with ign on. Its probably faulty sensor but will give you an indication if the gauge is faulty, gauge should read nothing when disconnected from memory.

I prefer clip for mk2 personally as it gives you the exact data on the dtc. Cant go wrong with Renolink, however its mostly short hand french so need to be a bit careful on what your doing and dtc data can be a bit thin. Rst is also good, but costs a small fortune in modules.

Updates. Took the r26 down my mates garage for geo on Sunday. They were super busy as short on staff but geo ramp was free. Asked my mate if it was ok to have a crack at it myself and he said crack on. So i did. It was a nice easy job to do, i have seen my mate do it a million times before...

Updates. Had the 250 out at the weekend to custom code the rs monitor v1. Massive thanks to Turborenault members for doing the research Cossie1 for sharing the information and Mart for doing the business on the custom coding. I modified a proscan Elm327 cable with switchable can h/can m so i...

Agreed, rear ok.

This. Chuck the ds2500 in the bin, they are shite. Replace with Ds1.11. Leagues ahead.

Id expect 170+ on each cyl. Itll be a lot lower on the problem cylinder if issues, 100 or less.

Love the evocorse wheels. Be a hard one to beat!

I also have a brand new set in the loft. Somebody needs to copy these. Get the chinese to knock some up, they do povo ones.

If you had fuel and spark on the bad running cylinder, id expect the worst especially with injector swapped for verified. Comp test will soon tell.

Nah only atf is red, normal gear oil is goldy colour

Prob gearbox oil given the area. The newer nfx doesnt smell of anything compared to the old nfj. Soon see from above.

Hosepipe test on it. From memory the heater box can leak around the foam gasket if the scuttle is blocked.

Dash out. As above dehumidifier will get it.

Id say every car, if laboured/lugged at low rpm in a high gear will make unwanted noises. Classic example is oap driving whatever manual car and crawling along in 3rd gear at idle with the engine and drivetrain knocking its bollox off.

5th gear is too low for 35mph. That must be near idle rpm surely and throttle will labour the engine having it rock all over possivly exaggerating the issue. 40 onwards for 5th.

Updates. Renewed rear wheel bearings last weekend. Straightforward job, half hour a side with the press. Ive went oldskool on the torque settings and the hub nuts are now ft, as there is still noteable play at stock 220nm. See if they survive more than one trackday eh. Anyway it all drives...

Clean the throttle and reset the ecu adaptives with clip. Makes a fair difference, mine went from lazy throttle to sharp after doing that.

You will need to invert the readings in the software and recalibrate the tps.

Id imagine if +5v and ground are arse first, it will give inverted readings.

Verify wiring is correct, id imagine its pretty simple +5v, signal and sensor ground. If correct, i imagine you should be able to reset the tps in the software to 0%. Failing that is it possible to invert the sensor reading on the settings.

Sometimes its just better off buying one and driving now instead of suffering months of pain sorting out rust. Anything mechanical is faily painless to sort.

Updates. Bought a centre console with cloth armrest a while back to replace the povo r26 centre console. Unfortunately it was not complete, and was missing the gearstick surround, obd cover etc. I thought the non armrest centre console parts would fit but totally different so put it to one...
