Looking good The reasons I don't like the tailpipes on the Jetex is due to the slash cut angle of it,and the smaller internal pipe size visible inside the tailpipe  Looks like one of those tailpipe trims from Halfords IMO  Might look a bit better with the inside of the tailpipe where it reduces down painted black IMO  ________________________________________ Red GTB1756 powered Fabia VRS daily driver,LBSC Gti6 eater........Mac1 ZR R1 kit car build in progress. |

So yesterday i got the fault codes read out and as it seems it is down to the lambda sensor. Great little things these fault code readers are.   I then cleared al fault codes except that the airbag fault is permanent and i can not erase this one. Will have to look into this before going to Germany with the car. What is the life expectancy of a lambda anyway (for a OE Bosch one that is)? As i think i have a spare one somewhere. |

But does the wideband simply goes where the normal lambda goes and from there to the lambda plug as well as the rear of the gauge? No need to weld more bungs and stuff? |

AEM seems to be the most reliable unit out there, others seem to go out of calibration regularly and sensors go down, which is rather odd as AFAIK most use the Bosch wideband lambda unit.AEM is pre calibrated and requires no further calibration, it has a 0-5v (or 0-1v, can't remember which) output to suit the ecu as well as the usual gauge display. whether this will work well enough for the o.e ecu to use I don't know, but its no big deal to buy a £5 boss and bung and add another point to fit the Wideband additionally to the o.e narrowband. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

My AEM was very inaccurate, it read rich at low rpm and very lean under hard acceleration. A cross check against a calibrated lambda on a RR showed it to be fuelling perfectly but the guage was way off.________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies.

Also a few people found that when it was wired into the ECU the car run badly, it would hit flat spots in acceleration so most people just used it as a second sensor. (AEM) There was a group buy for them and a few threads up after they were fitted.________________________________________ Phase 2 Blaze GTi 6 (Standard) SoldPhase 3 Supercharged China GTi 6 (249.8 BHP) Sold Phase 3 Supercharged Diablo GTi 6 (443 BHP)Sold Nissan 350Z (300 BHP) |

A wideband replaces the normal lambda so one would be sufficient enough, in most "quality" kits the Bosch lambda comes with it |

So yesterday we changed the lambda sensor for a newer one i had in my spares box, no more fault codes of that one since then. That is good. Then we started to look for a place to fit the oil catch tank i had ordered last weekThis is the one i got, it's the same one as Paul aka Takedown has ordered for his car http://www.ebay.de/itm/Universal-Olauffangbehalter-Oilcatch-Tank-Schwarz-OCT-rundlich-Oil-Catch-Can-/111065161822?pt=DE_Autoteile&hash=item19dbffe05e However there is no room for it anywhere in the engine bay. Can some of you post some pictures of their oil catch tank on their sc'd 6 or Rallye? Worst case scenario i'll have to find a smaller one. Any suggestions? |

Hello Fellas,So as Monday was a bank holiday i set about attacking my PH3 Valeo's in order to get them black masked. What the f**k was i thinking I would never have thought these would be such a bas**rd to do. Without the right equipment (heat gun an specially the cheese cutter  ) i would never have got to open one up. So i started in the morning around 10 o'clock About 2 hours later and sore fingers the first one was finaly open without breaking any clips  I then set about opening the second, unfortunately one clip broke this time, but that's not that bad. After opening up both, i started to sand down the inserts back to the plastic which went rather well,  However when i set about putting on the transparent primer which is specific for plastics this happened to them   Lots of small and big cracks  What do you guys advise me to do? The parts had been sanded down an cleaned with brake cleaner.Another question is what product do you guy use to polish the headlights? As mine have a few quite deep scratches which i would like to sort out.  Any advice is welcome and thank you for looking |

Maybe the brake cleaner had soaked into or softened the plastic, or there was still some residue still on the plastic which reacted with the primer? Brake cleaner is pretty powerful stuff. I would leave them a day or so and then sand them back (make sure you sand out the cracked primer entirely or the cracks will come back through) then clean with either water based cleaner or special panel wipes that you can buy from a motor factor (intended to get residue off panels before painting). Then prime again. To polish out the the marks on the headlights I would use a car polishing wax with abrasive in it such as T-cut which you normally use to restore dull paintwork. If that doesn't get all the marks out, use fine wet and dry sandpaper such as 1200 grit on the deeper marks. This will leave the plastic dull where you have sanded it. Then T-cut polish on top of that to restore the clarity. With some experimentation it should improve the headlights a lot. ________________________________________ Cherry Rallye SOLD |

Marco gebruik amoniak om te ontvetten, remreiniger is niet wat je wilt gebruiken om te ontvetten! |
