Hi guys, I’m half way through swapping my Haldex controller over for a replacement. I know there are two different designs of controller, one with circlip and one with bolt head, one has recessed fluid ports one doesn’t. Sods law I get the different one as a replacement. I’d like to know if I...

Hi guys, I’m in need of some help with this fault. It started just over a year ago when I got the first open circuit fault on injector #2 at WOT. I reset it and checked the injector plugs etc but everything looked okay. It didn’t come back for some time so I put it down to a poor electrical...

I was having a play yesterday when the rear end started fishtailing on a 4th gear pull at full boost from around 70mph ish. I was accelerating out of a very slight bend when it happened so the haldex may have been engaged. It probably wasn’t a massive amount of movement but felt very unstable...

How many of you regularly check and clean your methanol nozzles? I ask because a few months ago after finding my meth consumption was getting slower I thought I’d check the system. I started by disconnecting the pipes that connect to the nozzles and activate the pump by pressing the microswitch...

Hi guys, I've just replaced my camshaft position sensor for a new one from ECP but since changing it (just now) I've got an incorrect correlation fault 17748. What would have caused this? There was nothing wrong with the old one as far as I know but I was only changing it to try and fix a...

I always thought the V banded manifold to turbo joints were supposed to be the best thing to use on turbo applications over a gasket and bolted flange. When I started to hear it blowing I suspected the worst after the Pro4 nightmare lol but after smoke testing it I was surprised to see the V...

Hi guys, after being down on power and boost I've just smoke tested my engine to find injector #1 leaking from the cup/seat. Before I strip it down and attempt to remove the seat to repair it what's the best method to re seal it or is it an O ring that seals it? I've never needed to remove the...

Hi guys, I'm looking for a bit of advice regarding my brake setup. I Know, I know, not another brake thread [emoji4] For the last year or so I've been using Brembo GT juniors with DS2500 pads on 323mm disks as pictured here I'm running reasonably high power with a big turbo setup but the...

Hi guys, I'm in the middle of replacing the gasket between the turbo and manifold which started blowing after one of the bolts came loose. I've removed the two bolts and one nut but now I'm a little stuck [emoji20] What's the normal procedure, remove the stud at the back and pull out the...

Good morning all [emoji4] I'm just checking the car over for a drive up to Leeds this morning and found water coming from the bottom of the bulkhead to the NS of the prop shaft and dripping onto the subframe. Now I believe it must be something to do with the water feed pipe going to the...

My car has developed a worrying noise from around the steering column area. It started off quiet and progressively got worse after a few miles to the point where It sounds like something is going to fail. Anyway the noise can be heard inside the car but not from underneath around the PAS pump...

I've just removed my 200cel cat from the car to make some adjustments to the DP and all this gravel stuff fell out from the inlet side of the cat. There's several big chunks and thousands of tiny particles. It doesn't look like lumps of carbon, not sure what to make of it. The DP and cat have...

My DVC-30 progressive controller developed a fault yesterday and started to empty the contents of my fluid tank into my intake whilst the car was idling on my drive. I managed to turn the engine off and drain out what was in the pipework before any damage could happen but I dont know if I can...
