Temp gauge sits at 70-80C and fuel gauge is at 0
dirtytorque replied to Mawrick's topic in Engine Bay
What sender is it?, and would that effect the fuel gauge as well? (is it located at the same place as the "blue" temp sensor?) No, fair point. I didn't read your post properly. :oops: -

my guess would be temp sender, i'd always work from there back towards the guage itself in terms of trouble shooting. -

Now then Mardy Bum, I'm in trouble again, aren't I? While you lie over there, pulling that silent dissapointment face, the one that I can't bear.... Grumpy, in a word. :) :salute: ironic that I didn't know what that means. -

dirtytorque replied to dirtytorque's topic in Members Gallery
tbh you can hear knock without them.It just makes it more proounced. 12 volt feeds. hall. injectors. isv and MS All fused. I think thats it... :scratch: -
well done for sticking with the steelies and making it work. Car looks very good. Mine needs doing if you want more cleaning practice. :tumbleweed:

Cheers Jon. Its very instructive and good fun. -
If you strip it you may as well re-build ?? :shrug: Or are you going to just make sure everything is in spec and just replace all the stretch bolts? You boys just want an excuse to take it apart. :)

I was going to go to the inters but I have a flat tyre and I have lost my wheel lock key. :brickwall: So I thought I would use my time constructively and fix a few niggles. I found a long suspected boost leak in between my isv and the intake manifold and I also have fixed my remaining MS install bug bear. Getting the bosch g60 isv to work with MS. Before today when using the isv the car either wouldn't start without use of the throttle or it start without use of the throttle but the isv would rev the balls off the car,i.e 4k rpm. No good for idle really. :? Anyway I managed to fine tune the MS settings to get the car to start with no use of the throttle.Car now idles nicely at 1k rpm as nature intended. Next I need to deal with the asthetic side of my install. :oops: I need to find a nice small little fuse boxs to neatly distribute my switched 12 volts in the engine bay. random pics. -
how come? Any ominous signs or just for peace of mind?
-
Schrick is very good value for money I think. After the smaller pulley it has been the best mechanical power adder for the car. What do you mean by dynamic advance of 7 deg?? Do you mean your ignition timing? was that measured at idle or 2.5 rpm? ta. Sorry to muddy your thread Yan. :nuts:

Should that have happened? Pwn'd a 320d :-D
