aye m8 :D i think on later models the rear wiper is intermittent. push once for on/intermittent and push again to turn off. im sure if you fit the relay from a later model then yours would work the same way. 8) but dont quote me on that :lol:
-
ahhh,your thinking it works in a diffarent way m8! :D to operate the rear wiper and squirter,you push away,towards the dash. the stalk should rest in the original position when pushed or pulled. :D
-
im sure the mfa temp reading is taken from the sensor on the back of the head? correct me if wrong! as for the wipers,it may be the relay... its positioned on the right hand side of the fuse box somewhere iirc... could you try one from another car? shouldnt be expensive new though. could be the stalks,easy to replace,but its more a problem with mk4 polo's.a mk4 polo stalk is around thirty quid from gsf i think... also check the wiring that runs through to your tailgate,it can split in the rubber boots causing all sorts of weird problems. neil. :)

-
right guys i tried the charger test through the mfa... at tickover i get anything from 540-560 fluctuating with idle. when i wound it up in 3rd,the highest i got was 1760. am i right in thinking the no. at idle is too high,what do i need to check out? what does the 1760 n0. mean? cheers for any suggestions guys. :D
-
ahh,ok cheers m8,ill be parking it at the drivers side. neil. :D
-

aye i made my own on the mk1,just lengthened the linkage a little and parked it at the drivers side. just thought id try a kit this time,the cantalever thingy bob looks good. 8) the passenger wiper bolts central to the car dosnt it? :oops: cheers,neil.
-
ok thanks m8 8) any ideas on weather ive bought the right thing for a g60? neil.
-
ok guys ive just plugged my brain in :lol: the lambda sensor should sort the fuelling? is that right? so nothing needs altering/changing? cheers,neil.
-
your gonna wish you never said that m8 :lol: pm sent with my one and only request,i promise! neil.
-
cheers m8 :) mmm,i wondered about the auction not mentioning it being specifically for a g60,are they diffarent then? :oops: i can stick it back on ebay or flog it easily enough if its wrong i suppose. neil. 8)
-
alright. :D i just bought this de-cat pipe for the g60,the system is currently blowing from the cat anyway :wink: when i fit this,do i need to adjust the fuelling etc some how? how realistic are the quoted power gains? and am i right in thinking ill have no probs mot wise? a mate used a gas anyliser on it yesterday,connected to a pipe in the bay and with a sensor disconnected. the c.o reading he got was 0.2%,and it does hunt a little bit at idle... it has a superchip,and what looks like an anodised/smaller??? pulley!? :shock: any comments/advice appreciated,neil. :wink:
-
nice one m8 8) dont know of any others me self,but this site is very good for helping with tyre choices and has a speed vs rim/tyre size calculator :D mmmm,these dont look so bad i reckon?
-
:( help have some problems dudes (im back again) :( 2006!
Riley replied to mistrall's topic in Engine Bay
mmmmmm,im sorta leaning away from the knackered cat idea now... if your cat was blocked,you would have a consistent lack of power and it would struggle to rev properly. id be getting the timing checked as the other guys have suggested,but take it to a diffarent garage,and rather than say 'whats up?' just ask for the timing to be checked/set up... neil. -
sorry slightly off topic in a non corrado type way :lol: but i was gonna go for either of these for the mk1 project,probably too racy looking for a c???
