[essex,schimmel 263's, remap and midlife crisis! advice needed]

Cheers Jim, took it to my local today and reset the tps via vag com, still acting up though. Does it need time to learn or re-learn settings? Will post rest in garage. Like to get this sorted before coming to see you. Thanks for your time today.

[essex,schimmel 263's, remap and midlife crisis! advice needed]

Good evening,

title says it all! had my dragon green 5 door now for 3 years now and love it! was totally standard till 6 weeks ago when the zhaust went (little bust up with a clio sport), was original so 14 years and 114K cant complain! thought of stainless as keeping car (last 18months have done ABS controller reman and heater core) thanks to pipecraft basildon for a custom replacement cat back system (pukka!) followed by PC panel filter and last week a pal came back from states with a set of schimmel 263's for me. now hitting 40 (6 weeks away) hence mid life crisis! and cams fitted i am getting a lowdown misfire about 1500rpm and only a cough, so thinking a remap is in order. AMD are 45 minutes down the road but want the car for 3 days can anyone suggest a reputable essex company who could help? or just take the loss of my baby for 3days.

thanks in advance

steve

cheers

[Which rear ABS sensor]

Thanks all!

[Removing ABS ECU, any help appreciated]

Hi all, I am suffering from apparently the usual ABS issues. i have swopped the rear speed sensors *(under back seat) and the RR fault re-appears pointing to a replacement ECU? has anyone removed one of these with the pump left in situ, how difficult is it and have they got instructions.

cheers in advance.
