I'll keep an eye on it see how it goes

If I had a vac leak would that cause a fast warm up? Would a vac leak show up on the fuel trims or not?

Hello to you. Should I be concerned that recently my engine has been reaching temperature very quickly? It does not overheat. I have no error codes and my long term fuel trim is +3%. I know it's summer but I'm sure last summer it didn't warm up this fast. I'm talking like 90 degrees in three minutes. I don't want to damage my engine.

I heard that the wires in the black rubber cover between the door and the body will often break. My lights are intermittent and dependent on how open my door is, which would suggest my wires are nearly shot where the door has been bending them for 15 years. Give it a go.

Hello to you all. I am hoping one of you may be able to help me with an issue which has been plaguing my poor car. It is a Mk1 VRs with the AUQ 1.8t engine on 170,000 miles. Until recently the car performed like a champ. I had it converted to LPG and it ran like Usain Bolt on both petrol and LPG. Recently it started to show signs of hesitation, a lumpy throttle if you will. I changed the NGK OE plugs with some Bosch Super 4s, did an oil change and flushed the rad, although it enjoyed brief respite the ****ty running returned. Eventually, the engine coughed out a pending code of P1176, which refers to the O2 sensor. I cleared this fault accidentally on Torque Pro and my car instantly ran more badly than ever, to the point where LPG ran like a kangaroo so I switched to a diet of petrol. I replaced the O2 sensor which did sweet FA. Further rummaging around Google suggested the PCV valve may be out, I replaced the pancake valve connecting the breather to the inlet to no avail. My car is currently warming up very fast from cold but not overheating. The idle is very uneven and the sound is difficult to describe, it just sounds 'off' in some way. I cannot say whether the performance is affected because my paranoia is making me drive like a 90 year old lady. The error code has not returned and Torque Pro does not report any pending codes or any evidence of knock. Unplugging the MAF did nothing other than illuminate the dash light which disappeared when plugging it back in. My breather valve appeared oily, not dripping wet but it was there. Oil appears the correct colour and so does the coolant. Oil filler cap oily not milky. Does anyone have any clues?

Just asking for some advice, have bought a generic dash cam with a mini USB to 12v connection. Where is the best place to wire this into? I already have a spur running from the rear of the cigarette lighter would this be OK or would it blow the unit?
