    would a dodgy coilpack show up on a vag com? as its been on and come back faultless
  2. stockers
    yep thats where the pump is,also had all the pipes cleaned from the fuel pump.the problem is only occuring on very short journeys,if i go a decent length theres no problem, is it possible that it is over fuelling? i have a fuel cut off switch on my dash, if i turn the fuel off then switch it back on during the cranking it starts after a while. obviousely this is a pain in the arse as i want to remove the fuel switch (fuel switch plugs in on top of the fuel pump they have just put a reroute in) so easily disengaged

    yep its cranking over,and making all the right sounds but just isnt catching (new spark plugs, new battery) i tried the water spray test on the coilpack and couldnt see any arcing.

    yeah sanks is right,my thermostat housing went and there was only the tinyest drip coming from it but enough to drain the reservior dry in a day! the housing is at the bottom of the engine at the front,about 4" square,good luck. oh if it is it will cost about

    i reckon ive done about 50-1oo miles, so not that far,it was just worrying as it didnt start straight away

    you could try 'torquingbhp.co.uk' they can remap the ecu and reckon they can get an extra 10-15% power, i think it costs about

    hi all, has anyone had any experiance of stealth racing,i'm gonna have the motor put on a rolling road and possibly have the ecu re-written,i have the option of going local to a non specific tuner, or flying up to stealth(about 2 hours away) so not to far away and have them do it, what do y'all think?
  16. stockers

    IT MIGHT JUST BE THAT THE INCREASDE AIR FLOW INTIO THE ENGINE WANTS TO PULL MORE FUEL IN,COULD BE A SIMPLE JOB OF ADJUSTING THE CARB STTING TO MATCH THE AIR FLOW
  20. stockers

    topic related to above, i have adjustable koni suspension lowered pretty damn low (already done when i bought the car) but the ride is too bouncy and soft for me, looking for that 1960's mini cooper feel real bone cruncher!!!. can they be adjusted to be firmer or is it a shocks thing??
  23. stockers
