Don't lynch me!

I couldnt afford a s/c GTI-6!



Bought it a couple of months ago now, supercharged by Carl last year, the previous owner didnt use it much.

Plans:

Fit oil cooler, I have everything apart from the hoses now, 16 row Setrab one should do the trick!

Fit better brakes, I have some renaultsport brembos, so going for either Ash's kit or 305mm V6 discs.

Issues

At the moment I have a few issues to solve.

The brakes at the moment aren't very good, there is some travel in them and then it always feels like they wont pull you up quickly enough. My GTI-6 ones were awesome and I never had an issue with them. These have OE pads/discs whereas my 6 was on DS2500 with brembo discs, but even so.

I thought it was just air in the system at first, so bled all new fluid through (the old stuff was pretty manky) but its not improved it.

With the engine running you can pump the pedal but it won't firm up... not a problem I normally have

And if you hold your pressure on the pedal it will gradually sink. I'm thinking its a buggered master cylinder, so thats to be changed shortly!



Secondly what I had thought was the throttle cable partially sticking and a poor engine map appears to be the TPS, I posted about it in someone elses thread and it was suggested to look at the TPS.

I have tested it to check it gets voltage, but I cant check while its running due to poor access and I cant get the multimeter prongs in without damaging the wiring.

The car revs up to 2k and starts pretty poorly, occasionally over-revs in traffic and also runs very rich on WOT. All seem to be symptoms of a buggered TPS, so a trip to Andrew Page to see if they can get me a Bosch one is in order!


Oh and the fuel gauge doesn't work but I just fill up every 200 miles. Ive given up on trying to solve the issues there, running a 6 ECU for the engine and a Xsara one for the car is causing the fault which is way too complicated to be bothered about.


Future Developments

I'm thinking of replacing the boost piping as while some sections are bent, others are just two pieces of angled tubing welded together, not very neat, plus on the SC outlet the hose is too long and can fold in on itself. Thinking it is also worth wrapping the piping in heat reflective tape as the pipes get warm in the engine bay yet are cool when they come out the IC.

Also it runs a decat, and miltek centre, but with a standard backbox. This is good as its nice and quiet, but unsure if this is robbing me of much/lots of power.

If it ain't broke......fix it until it is.

New TPS on order, should have it tomorrow afternoon, £74 inc the VAT, stung a bit but could be worse. As long as it fixes it I dont mind!

Could have had an intermotor one for less money, but thought it better to buy the OE Bosch, buy cheap buy twice!

My oil turned up from Opie oils too for when I fit the oil cooler.

Have my braided hoses to pickup from the post office in the AM to suit my renaultsports when I can afford the rest of the kit!

Reset the ECU and it seems to be better, but not used the car today.

Refitted the bonnet stay (got fed up of having to get the damper out the boot, then open the bonnet and put it in place), required a different strut brace half with an additional bracket on it. I didnt have any nylocs so had to get a bagful for it.

Citroen phoned me up to say my cable had arrived! 2 days earlier than the later date they had promised me.

So headed over in the afternoon as I was passing and picked it up.

Home from work, sockets out and away we went!

Ba-bah!



Jack the drivers side up, drivers side wheel off. Unclip white clip off the pedal, tie string to it. Pull cable through.

Tie string to new cable. Pass new cable up the direction the old one went, aiming for a gap between the manifold heat shield and aircon pipes. Hold torch with one hand/mouth while feeding cable with the other. Pull string through a bit. Fight with the pedal and the clip. Hook the clip over the pedal! Sucess! :2funny:

Hard bit done, clip it back under the car, pass the cable through the two hooks, pass it up onto the top of the gearbox. There is a black plastic retaining clip with a metal E clip that fits horizontally ontop of the gearbox (the old one the E clip was missing/broken but I dont think it does much/anything). Pull cable through, and fit the two rubber ends onto the clutch arm etc!

Rebuild it all and GREAT SUCCESS! It seems to work great now!

Rebuild the car, reattach the battery, get confused when the key/immob doesnt work. Press all the buttons on the fob until it does. Start car and be happy! ;D

Total time, about an hour today and half an hour on Saturday, so id say 75 mins if you did it in one stretch. Difficulty, 3/10 maybe, pretty easy and only basic tools required.

is it anything to do with the fact that a phase 2 xsara is multiplex and uses a different ecu to the 306?

I replaced a hose in the engine bay which attached to the SC outlet, it was sucking in on vacuum and had started to split from the inside outwards.

Short length of alloy mandrel bend and some hose to join it later!



Still having a wiring issue somewhere, getting static noise through the speakers which rises with revs, and it will flash indicators/lose fob sync for no reason.

Battery is new and tests at 12.5v, 14.5v when the car is started.
