Kevin Bacon 5 Posted October 20, 2003 Sorry to hear that Kev, won't they swap it as its new or have I mised something?! I haven't discussed it with Bosch yet as I need to check the ECU wiring first, just to make sure it isn't that before I make an a*** of myself. The error I've seen a few times is G70 - Mass Air Flow sensor - Short to Ground - INTERMITTANT. Comes back if cleared from memory :cry: I'm pretty sure the wiring is OK as the old MAF never recorded that and that was a month or two ago. Ho hum....all part of C ownership I guess!

2cc 0 Posted October 20, 2003 Oh look - another RR day thread :D Kev, Now I look at your avatar closely I can make out the actual colour at the front, rear of the car is in shadow . Have a look at Problems for my trip home :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Campaign 0 Posted October 21, 2003 Cheers to everybody for organising this. Funky, you did a grand job. Chuffed that I managed to get 182 out of the Vento VR6 (std. is 174) and it's bog standard with a crapper than normal exhaust too.... Also, good to speak to Vince at Stealth about seeing if we can get my Scirocco back on the road running right, as when I tried AMD they said "I'd probably get sacked for booking a Scirocco in...." Some nice cars there (as always). But Ben's got best Corrado, and it was also pleasing :lol: ;-) to see a BMW M3 which was 30bhp down on power (290 instead of a standard 320) :lol: :lol: :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted October 21, 2003 also pleasing :lol: ;-) to see a BMW M3 which was 30bhp down on power (290 instead of a standard 320) :lol: :lol: :lol: Was it a 3.0 or 3.2 M3? 3.0 ones are good for 286bhp and the 3.2 should deliver 321bhp.

chargedupstorm 0 Posted October 21, 2003 Again, A big thanx for the invite and Vince and his team. Needless to say I was a little disappointed with my RR results, however expected to some degree as I am still running a Z-engineering based ECU designed for a 2.8 VR6 lump where mine is now 3.0 and has lowered compression. Especially as when running on the old 2.9 and Z-engineering setup was running 269bhp :? I’m in the process of getting a smaller pulley to take the boost to 13psi and change the injectors. Cams are also on my shopping list, So watch this space!| Cheers chaps, Guy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR6 0 Posted October 21, 2003 Welcome to the forum Guy, although I see you've been here quite a while! ;) :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted October 24, 2003 Good news, Bosch have despatched a new MAF to replace my iffy one, no questions asked. So I'll be re-rollering the car when Vince does the rear axle bushes (does the list ever stop??) to see if I get my 8 horses back again :? Kev Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2cc 0 Posted October 29, 2003 Hell's teeth :shock: What has gone wrong with the text alignment on my last post? Any Mod want to fix it for me??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted October 29, 2003 Theres not really a great deal you can do about it Chris.. it just wont let you format text with loads of spaces which is a real pain in the bottom, but common across practically every type of forum :( What I have done as you can see below is pasted the times into a text editor, tidied em up, and took a screen snap of em - so click below to see the times in all their formatted glory!! :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
