Engine vibrating a lot on idle.

right all is not lost i have a BLT ibiza and have cured this warm up idle issue. basically betwee SOI maps for 61c and 65c the timing has some weird values for idle. this issue usually starts when temp gauge around 70c so is switching between maps as car actually around 60c all i did was make the 61c and 65c SOI maps the same and prob cured :-) Theres around a degree difference in the SOI SOI = start of injection -

before this gets silly steve do 2 tests disconnect injector loom do a cold start cranking rpm read out then when fully hot do the same. if the hot is not above 250rpm then the ecu will allow 8 revolutions then inject a large amount of fuel to start engine. Theres a TSB on sachs website about this, usual cause is the starter getting old so when hot dosent spin at same rate.

TBH its prob the aliminium washers on the banjo have gone out of shape and are leaking. the bottom one fits into a machined area on caliper and when i changed both rear calipers had similar issue as washer wasnt round anymore. vw dont supply the washers on there own, but can be bought from a hose place

Anyone got a vrs front drivers side subframe?
spud31 replied to Blanco's topic in Skoda Fabia Mk I (1999-2007)
Unlikely to have seized into console, the bolt usually seizes into steel sleeve in front wishbone bush, so as you unwind your actually pulling front bush out too. Have done 3 like this now all drivers side, get some genuine plus gas in there, keep soaking it for a few days and it will come out as eventually the sleeve gives up and allows bolt out on its own. -
