its almost like a scratching noise, had a similar noise when a wheel spacer came a little loose and the wheel was touching the brake plate a little bit. the high pressure pipe is genuine and (should) have the valve. anyway, dont think its the issue because the the pipe has been in place for a...

thinking about rebuilding my rear diff and use the 3.5 Heavy duty crown wheel and pinion from Ashcroft. My question is will it work ok with my from 3.54 standard front diff? eventually i will also rebuild the front one but as it will cost around 1000eur each (including a locker) i was hoping to...

I currently have another strange issue which i managed to narrow down to something related to the ace. I have what sounds like a friction noise. It comes up when the car starts to warm up a little when cornering and when it is fully warm it is a constant sound. It sounds like a backplate...

Found a thread here where someone blew into the tank and guess what, that worked 🤣🤣

I had to replace the Ace pump but i cannot get it primed. I filled the reservoir with fluid left the pressure hose off and tried cranking with the injectors disconnected and nothing. I even started the engine but nothing is coming out. Is there something im missing?

i just put a thin piece of copper around the terminal so that now its nice and tight!

i might go this route although i m not a big fan to be honest as i like being able to "brag" when the temperature is showing 44 degrees Celsius on the control lol. If i bridge the earth for the compressor and fan relays, would this engage the compressor if the ecu decides to turn on the AC fan...

Replaced the engine bay fusebox as it had lots of corrosion and now there arent any errors anymore will still hack the system though so that the fan comes on whenever the ac is on. Was planning to bridge the earth of the two relays unless there is a better method?

Having testing the fp / lp swap i can say there a little difference in pickup and power at the top of the rev range. I can also see that the turbo is now boost a more, up to 1.45 Bar, where before it was boosting around 1.3 Bar. Black smoke is also less now!! Im wondering about economy will...

Intermittent 4 amigos are back. Always the same front left sensor error. Im now testing another module. The only strange thing that i have noticed is that when i jack the wheel up and turn it, the kph readout is shown correctly on nanocom however the voltage readout changes for the rear right...

Sounds about right. Did it make a difference how it sounds if you add an earth strap?

Can you describe further the poor starting issue? If it does not randomly cut out it could also be a battery or earth issue. With the key turned on when the pump starts working (before starting the engine) check that you have good voltage, also try to add an earth from battery to body and listen...

poor starting will be a leak somewhere. Common places to look for: 1. behind the fuel tank, near the chassis rail (passenger side, there is a nylon pipe that is known to break). 2. fuel filter housing can leak 3. check for a big leak from the the FPR, a tiny leak should not cause issues. 4. if...

true but nobody mentions the plug at the back (above the rear axle). Something like this should be perfect for that location and really easy to fit and remove whenever you want (ordered one to see if im right!) ...

the joys of figuring out what the drunk previous owner did before you :rolleyes:

I look around and there are two places where you can fit a gauge to the Green (HP) line - either at the back near the fuel tank or at the FPR

so by fitting the gauge to the fuel feed line, that is the direct pipe from the fuel pipe (green pipe), so it is before the FPR. Well i did more digging and found out someone has been there before and obviously made a hash of it. Low pressure and high pressure pipes were switched so pump was...

is there any way i could rule it out? can i check the pressure before maybe?

fitted my spare pump and its EXACTLY the same. runs fine, but its showing low pressure. now im thinking if both of my gauges are somehow wrong or if im missing something o_O

yes, the fan had been replaced in the past for a Spal one and it does work. I hacked the system a bit by bridging the relay connectors for the clutch and the fan so now it has no choice but to come on whenever there is a request for the ac clutch but am concerned that the errors might indicate...
