Paul's estate mk2 - air intake on

[C2K]

It's been lowered before. One bar came out with 4 taps on the slide hammer and had grease on the splines. Front one isn't playing ball at the moment.

[Paul_13]

I'm not hitting any of it with a hammer. You wind the nut into the washer /socket and it pulls the bar out

[Paul_13]

[Matt]

Love the rallye blanks! That is a good looking front end!

[Poodle]

Are you draining and cleaning the filter housing when you do these filter changes? If not we now know where all that crap on your fpr came from. Slide hammer is fine for removing torsion bars, it's when some tit lays in with a sledge that you get problems lol.

[Paul_13]

I've never bothered poodle, would explain that then. I'm worried it'll start leaking once I do it up again

Thanks

[Poodle]

Fair enough, could well do... Haha yeah they're good at that, new drain screw solves it and is only a few pennies from pug last time i checked, if ever you need one. Glad to hear the map tweak/new fpr has sorted it anywho, bacn to tuning!

[Paul_13]

It's only masking the problem until I get round to sorting the CR pump.

I may stick the JP map back on just to rule out the fpr

---

The reason I say that because after cleaning the fpr it was fine for a good hour and then it cut again

Bi-yearly Clean!

[Poodle]

Fair enough, worth a look, just for your own interest if nothing else. She's looking good!

[Paul_13]

Fitted the wishbone bushes and very happy with them. They were very easy to fit.

Also fitted a k&n filter which has freed up the top a bit which is good.

Doesn't feel as fast as I think the CR pump is dying

[Paul_13]

Just about to roll on 190k

It's like jekyll and Hyde at the moment, one moment really fast the next really lacking, it would of cut out unless someone had adjusted the parameters on the map

[Paul_13]

Right fitted the r70 pump

Won't do that again in a hurry, that bottom bolt on the pump is a nightmare.

I'm going to load the JP Stage 2 map back on and see if the cutting out has stopped and go from there.

1800 bar sensor next and see how much power I can get out of it. Might RR it for a laugh

[Paul_13]

f*cking thing just cut out

[Jonny81191]

f*cking thing just cut out

With which map on?

[Paul_13]

The modified one.

I've just watched the measured vs requested and it reached 500 bar.

Just normal driving around it reached 200

[Paul_13]

Well the pump turned up

[craig306]

did you fit it?

[Paul_13]

Winnings!

[Paul_13]

Hmm faulty fpr already causing the engine to run on. Now it's in limp mode


Going to change the FPR

[Paul_13]

Just changed the FPR and it's reading spot on now on PP2K

[Niall]

Pretty sure this car is broken for more time than its actually working :Lol:

[Paul_13]

It hasn't caught up with the gti yet

[Niall]

Oh you mean the GTi where you KEPT destroying engines. You are the sole cause for J4RS lumps becoming hard to get hard of

[Paul_13]

Like Hitler to the Jews

[Paul_13]

So far so good

News to put the original map back on and see if it cuts

[Jonny81191]

Maybe try a pro_steve map, you'll probably have fewer issues. Noticed a few of the JP maps having this sort of problem.

[Paul_13]

Don't worry that's in the pipeline

[Frosty]

That R70 you just fitted a recon unit then? You dont seem to be having much luck with this lately

[Paul_13]

Yes a recon pump, supplied with a faulty FPR.

Changed that and it's been fine.

Going to get a different map, and go for a 1800 bar sensor.

Had any one got the part number for the sensor? I've seen it several times but I can't find the bloody thing now
