    Running like a bag of sh*t

    Ok so I cleaned the throttle body and it made no difference at all, surprisingly wasn't that mucky but never the less back to the drawing board. Had a power steering pipe blow today above the drivers side wishbone so have to check that out over the weekend - fingers crossed its a simple fix...

    Scotty - So I can unbolt it but don't unplug it or do I just take the inlet pipe off and clean through the gap? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Running like a bag of sh*t

    Quick question, how does one do the throttle body alignment? Also what are you guys cleaning it with? I've got some new denso iridium plugs to go in soon, it's had a main dealer maf replaced and I've checked all inter cooler pipes. The bloke who remapped the car and was checking it over said it...

    Scotty1310 thanks for the input that's pretty much what was going on with mine however I think I've narrowed it down to a boost leak somewhere and il explain my theory - if I start it up it idles a little high when it starts but only for 2 secs and then drops to normal, if I pull away it again...

    Not entirely sure what he's checked bill to be fare. He said the bottom end runs rich and the top end lean and then the bottom end lean and the top end rich which is going to cause it to kangeroo as its all over the place but it's actually finding the issue at hand what's the issue and with no...

    Hi people, I'm in dire need of some help from guys/girls who may have experienced this issue or may know about this issue.

    Hub nut won't stay tight

    When it was in the garage they was beating the old shaft off because it was stuck like concrete and they thought it has slipped a spline but they didn't say it had so I'm guessing it hadn't. When the nut comes loose and the brakes go squishy if I tighten up the nut again then the brakes...

    Lcr o/s/f squealing whilst turning

    Well cv joint changed and it's solved, not sure why it was making that noise as there was no split in the boot and there was plenty of grease in there... Must have just worn itself out :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
