Worth a punt?

07 May 2013 - 06:48

This seems a really good deal.  Anyone ever used midlandcs ?.  It says it's OE.  Could it still be cheap Chineese components?.

Car back to full power at last....

05 May 2013 - 07:14

My furby has not pulled how it should do for over a year now.  I have changed so many parts im not sure which one has fixed the problem but it now "pulls like a train".  The diffrence is night and day.   I recently changed the vacblock and top intercooler pipe boost seals but they did not seems to make any diffrence.  Whilst I had the boost pipe off I cleaned the map sensor.  Still no change so I bought another brand new Bosch maf.  Still did not seem to immediately make any diffrence.  Fine tuned to cam timing still the same.  The only other thing i can think of that may have fixed it is the warm weather getting my turbo nice and hot blowing out some junk.  Now the car is pulling how i remember (bloody quick) the clutch is slipping with anything more than about half throttle.  I going to get the Valeo SMF kit but the thought of garage disturbing anything worries me when I have only just got the car right and am not sure what I did that fixed it.   I am tempted to tell the garage to take it for a drive before any work is done so they know how it should pull and that its the same after the work is done, think that sound's reasonable?.  Remember my car has been to the local main dealer and Indy garages numerous times and they could not diagnose the problem, I had to fix it myself.  I would love to say vagcom has helped me get the car back to full power but it has not as it has never shown the problem in logs.  Just to reiterate, the car is now evil with the front end lifting up and back end bitting down again when boosting.  It has been working correctly for one week now and im praying it stays like it.

Too cheap?

Shopping around for a new solid flywheel I saw this.  They checked my reg and said it will fit 100%.  Seems a little cheap, opinions appreciated.

Bosch Alternator ok on vrs ?

25 February 2013 - 13:22

My alternator bearings are shot.  It's a 90a valeo effort.  I have a bosch 90a alternator from a polo.  Will this be ok on my asz fabia?. Has anyone switched from valeo to bosch?.  Thanks in advance as always guys.

ECU question

Is there any diffrence between a Bosch EDC15P Ecu and a EDC15P+ Ecu ?.  Seems vrs's come with diffrent flavours :
