my m8 has mk4 r32 and wants to know what a haldex does? and what advantages it has over std set up. also were can u get one from and how much? basically is it worth getting one? cheers peeps..
-
help still needed pls..anyone got anymore ideas?
-
apart from diesel's lol..
-
yes tom i was going to say that this only applies to early obd1's....
-
mine is white, im giving it a repaint soon. i was thinking the same thing! original colour would prob be best to sale the car on, but why go for the norm, i was thinking of BMW techno violet. i work in a large paintshop so skys the limit when it comes to colours!
-

ecu is under passenger scuttle panel, remove ecu, undo and remove small torx screws at end of ecu, pull out board. in the middle of board is one big chip, remove cover and gentle pull chip out. to fit new chip simply push new chip in and replace cover, and put every thing back together. easy..there is no soldering with a simple push in chip.

claire is it alright if i let u know at end of week. i have big probs with my car at mo.. if its sorted by fri i will pay deposit by paypal...thanks
-
stick the car in 4th and try pulling away if the clutch slips then its fucked. not sure bout bleeding the system or really how it works tbh?
-
mines the same? i swear it did work when i first had the car. goes down but not up!
-
i just met my m8, and had a look at has vr, i put a volt metre on his idle valve plug and it gave the same reading as mine? so i guess it isnt the ecu? back to the drawing board?? :@
-
wouldnt say u would gain alot tbh... im not bothering.
-

i got ones from gsf and they were shit, they wouldnt fit in the runners and were really hard and wouldnt bend?? took them back! then got some XL ones these kept arking out on dizzy cap? now got K1 racing ones..have made a difference but the rrp is 130!! i got them for 56 tho other wise i wouldnt of bothered.. -
reckon bout 20??
-
highers the limiter aswell!!
-
i put a advance motorsport one in mine, got it off flea-bay. seemed to be abit better...wouldnt say it was brilliant tho? would never buy a superchip for 200 quid like some people do! ones on e-bay are cheap, but u are taking a risk on wots been done to the map tho?
-
