Anyone got any suggestions who I could use to check out a fault on my Bug....

Aberdeen area preferrably

 

Wallace performance or russ at dalgety bay

 

Cheers Kev, I heard mixed reports about Wallace, but I guess there are mixed reports about everywhere...

 

If you need a diagnostic check on the car then Duncan has my DeltaDash software and can troubleshoot the issue for you?

How is the car these days anyway?

There's a new rolling road opening in or near Inverurie soon DMC performance!

 

Hi Russ,

I would take you up on that if we can arrange a date/time.

The car is good apart from its current issue - fuel consumption up by 25% and lack of the TD05 push in the back!
It drives like a stock STi.
Feels smooth till about 5k ish then seems to be holding back.

No orange lights.

I have booked it in for a routine diagnostic at Overton just to see if anything comes up.

Any help appreciated

Let me know what would suit you.
Cheers, Shaun.

 

Really....

How soon I wonder...

 

I hear RA in perth are getting one put in just now as well.

 

Back in 23 days so if you have had no luck by then, PM me and we'll set up some time to look it over.

Russell

 

Alright; thanks for the offer

I had a go with rom raider and from a novice users point of view it does look to be a very rich mixture, havent had time to try to interpret why yet.

 

Your going to be busy for your only week at home Mr H, How's the P1 coming along?

 

P22 is due back with me just before I head over to Spain.

Shauns car will need a 10 minute datalog to figure out the problem so he can get the bits to solve it..... plenty of time left

 

Thought I would post a wee update;

The car ran through a diagnostic at the garage and everything looked spot on, this is of course in open loop so the o2 wont be taken into account. fuel trim long/short term was just over 13%, doesnt sound normal to me, but I dont know if thats down to the remap or not.
I changed the front o2 sensor - used one from Matty - last night, maybe a bit better but certainly doesnt have the 'go' it should. If there is no improvement then my next move may be to change the rear sensor - I believe it can adjust the fuel trim as well.
Under no load conditions the exhaust gas was 100% so cat damage would now be low on the list. I would have thought.
I will see if the MPG has changed over the coming days.
Getting a bit fed up with it now.....

 

I know that you are pretty busy Russ, so I appreciate you taking the time.

 

Oh I might see it when I come up

 

Are you getting a readout from the Rear O2 Sensor? What voltage is it showing ?

 

The rear was my next port of call, as it were...
I have forgotten what it was reading, I will go and check.

MPG and performance just the same ATM.

 

I had some input from MattyB, he said that the rear sensor wasnt used on boost - on boost the car runs on the map.
So I didnt go any further down that route.
Bug is still not 100% so Russ if you are able to drop me a text or call my mob when you are back I would appreciate it.

Cheers.

 

Is DMC Performance Davie Coutts?

 

Sure is arch!
