Im affraid not mate lol hope you find one though cheers

well it seems ive gone a bit the other way now lol, im now the proud owner of a 17cdti diesel astra estate so economy here i come :) it was too good to miss,got it at a steal price from my work on a 54reg (ex reps car lol)

Car is now in beccles so fairly local mate

well its all sorted now before i sold it so hopefully there is a very happy couple with a fast cupra now:)

Who knows maybe lol i have seen a toledo diesel local to me so you never know.. i have only around 2500 to 3000k to play with though :confused:

My car was sold today:cry: and it shall be very much missed, i just wanted to thank everybody here for there help and knowledge over the three years i have owned her.. but i will keep poping up here and there to help anybody who wants it :) Id like to wish you all a very merry christmas...

I dont think so because lamda would be teling you its to rich on fuel(when engines warm) if it was the coolant sensor playing up . :shrug: but these engines can be strange and lots of the time the ecu says its found fault with something, but it ends up being something before or in line with...

Some other possible causes i can think of that might help out : 1.knackerd fuel pump. 2.fuel pressure regulater fault. 3.Not enough pressure in the fuel rail ( check vac pipe underneath inlet manifold to regulater for splits/breakage) and i would have to say untill you get it sorted try...

I'd secound a faulty coolant sensor and for how much they cost its worth replacing for a green one, mine had that same missfire when warm and smelt fuely because of the ecu thought is was still needing choke (hope that makes sence)

cheers sorry, i was tiredlast night:ban:

Does anybody know if a standard lcr back box fits a mk1 lc, i only ask because i prefer the look of the tail pipe on a lcr to the std lc twin tail pipes and im past the louder noise stage now from a aftermarket system lol cheers

i had a simalar symtom with mine a couple of years ago, mine turned out to be a a cracked/broken away vacuum nipple underneath the inlet manifold (not seen) causing the fuel pressure not to rise in the fuel rail under accelaration. (this vac pipe goes from underneath the inlet manifold to the...

Well unfortunatley the problem still exists, but i now think it is something to do with the throttlebody, it has had a problem lately with smooth acceleration (more when first started) its as though the engine doesnt know where the throttle position is , so you apply a little pressure to the...

You could get a gauge put in mate just to see if its holding boost correctly.. as for the juddering it could well be a coil/s breaking down under load but usualy they just go, or like i said a bad plug/s which is no real ill spend for piece of mind to be honest.. (be sure they are at least...

just to let you all know it held boost fine all the way to and from birmingham, but since ive been home tonight i decided to swap over to std filter then take it out again and to me it seems more responsive and aggresive with the std filter back on.. :blink: Strange

cheers for that, i will get a forge one soon hopefully just to rule out possible probs:)

i did wonder that, the guy who did the remap said as long as the dv is in good health it should be fine but im starting to wonder who to beleve without stepping on anybodys toes lol

Cheers for your advice, i have a friend with vag-com and he should be doing some checks with my car soon hopefully when he gets a moment, so there could also be fault elsewhere possibly I might also disconnect battery/reset ecu in the meantime to see if that irons out any probs...

That could well be my answer good man, had not thought of that, but today i have reset throttle body (also cleaned it) and replaced the last coil pack that was getting old and it seems to be ok again (touch wood) but it still seems as though its quite not going as well as before so it could...

My car has always ran a std dv, before and after the re-map but that has been off and checked for leaks and thats fine.. i wish their was a audiable leak so i could solve the problem but their isnt:(
