Just had it fitted and car now seems to pull better and is smoother right round to the red!!!

 

Arron

Did you get a call from the dealer to have your changed, or did you badger them?

I ain't heard anything yet!!

Thanks

Simon

 

Arron,
Havn't really notice any difference in mine. But only had mine 2 weeks ago. I must have had a good pump out the Box as I have had it frequently on the limiter in 5th and not blown up once it did, it pulled like a train up to 7.2Krpm in 5th and put 6th it had NO or little boost
Anyway I have saved a shed load of fuel not going over 6.2Krpm in 5th getting 200m of a tank back down to 150m

A little badgering then a call from them.
Have noticed that the exhaust has a more rich black colour now.
i think it was running lean before as it was a lighter grey colour and I could hear det every now and again in 5th and 6th at high boost.
Seems fine now anyway and I still have good boost!!

 

Arron,
Looks like you were close getting too "The Big Bang" I must admit I am much happier giving it some in 5th & 6th

Tony

 

Lol, oh no Arron you haven't got a Scooby again have you ?

Cheers Phill

 

Dont think it would have gone bang again as I wasnt thrashing it that much knowing there was a fuel pump fault.

Babber I have had one for months mate.

 

most of the dealers dont even no themselves, call them and start the ball rolling

 

Arron,

Well well well, I didn't know that...... Is the car any better than your P1 was ?

Cheers Phill

 

It is a much better car all round in my opinion and costs a much more realistic price.

 

I have notice my exhaust is blacker than normal so prhaps mine was shorting Fuel

Tony

 

Mine stinks of petrol!!! cant find no sign of a leak though!!! anybody got any ideas?

 

Nellie,
How full was the Fuel tank when they did the pump ??? I was told keep it as low as possible to avoid splashing around Petrol during changing it. lots of nice foam for it to soak into

Tony

 

was about 3 quarters full,didnt smell at all,smell started last thursday,although pumps been done a couple of weeks now.

 

Got my motor back on Tuesday (STi 7 PPP fitted).

Funny that you mention petrol smell - mine was minging. In fact I thought that I had a fuel leak.

Haven't driven the STi since Tuesday so we'll see tomorrow.

Can anyone with a PPP comment - do they smell of petrol due to increased fueling?

Look forward to your comments.

they can take the damn thing out if they cant get rid of the smell!!its so bad can hardly breath!! havnt used the car for a couple of days and the smell just wont go!!! no sign of a leak anywhere

 

My STI8 goes in for it's PPP on friday(4th)

 

Pop it round Pete for me to have a doggin!

 

Nellie stop winging and take it back to the dealer to sort.
Winging on here wont make it any better will it?

 

Folks

No stink of petrol in my STI7, PPP fitted yesterday.

Yeah it stank of petrol when they were fitting the fuel pump, but that was all.
