How do i stop this ...not actual wiper but the mechanism me thinks :confused:

Whats the problem with the standard Auto Z box. Is it under spec'd for the power the car is developing . Are all high power autos as unreliable. I have had 2 Auto Z's A UK 91 Spec which was rebuilt once(2001). When it went second time I converted to Manual no problems since.(2002) still going And a low mileage SWB TT hardtop auto. First box blew at approx 50 K due to filter disintegrating and clogging (2003) Full rebuild Rebuilt box went at 60K due to oil leak from front gasket (2004) Rebuild under guarantee gasket should have been changed at rebuild 2007 aproaching 70K box is slipping in third, being beaten by celicas, probably on i…

Good to meet you and your missus at the Reading Jap Meet - it's a regular event - 3rd Tuesday of the month. And we often retire to the pub for the odd sherbert afterwards ! :duffer: In case you were wondering - I am Eileen's other half - the Rex driver - lol :D

Feel free to update your ride section everyone :duffer: :cool:

anyone needing the 1meg ohm resistor needed for this simple job just pm me your address and ile pop one in the post to you as ive found a very good source and have a healthy supply on stock :) greedy people need not apply :D

Just wondered what the figure is as different sites say different things. Also wondered how much difference to that time my mods would make, if any difference straight through exhaust, chipped ecu, induction, 1bar boost...

In my Z, the standard PSI gauge either reads way off the clock when the electrics + engine is off (past -14) or when electrics + engine is on it reads way above +14 (off the clock again) But its also limited to 5K revs. Any ideas why the gauge is being weird and why im limited?

Does anybody know where i can get some of the dash trimming kits? To replace the stuff that goes around your centre console, your windscreen air vents, your reading light, and your targa release handles? Cheers Ethan

Looking for some ideas on what to get please. Nothing too blingy though and the gaitors have have excess rather then less like my current ones :rofl: Any ideas or pics of you own please I thank you :)

yes i know i am anoying to ask another question about the AIVs but done a search and there is so much on them and all the posts i have looked at dont answer my question...... Looking at this guide http://s95014253.onlinehome.us/63104/137858.html at the begining he talks about disconnecting the shared vacuum lines the AIV has with EGR and stock boost gauge. I have 2 questions. 1. I would like to keep the stock boost gauge functioning. He says about connecting the vacuum line straight to the balance bar after the AIV solenoid is chucked out. He looses me a bit here. Is there a spare nozzle on the balance bar to attach this line, and will the line stretch co…

Anyone know the size of the banjo connection on the clutch slave cylinder please?

I've got this Power Enterprise .Power -Hybrid Boost Control and need help and advice to set it up.Diagram would be invaluable!! as all it came with was in Japanese :D

OK im starting a new thread for this This is while doing a plenium water bypass. Has anyone bothered removing the metal water pipes from the throttle bodies by drilling them out as it says on tt.net? (2001th post yey) ! :D

Why would my 1.6 be so heavy on fuel at the moment? i do have a hole in the exhaust, is there anything else i could check which effects the fuel consumption e.g. plugs? It's starting to get annoying, i even tried a Ecotek valve to improve the fuel econemy.

Hi, I've just got my hands on a J plate TT which is a non runner but I'm looking forward to getting her on the road. Despite saying I wouldn't buy anything until she was running the new 18's and some side skirts are on the way!! But I need some help. I have spark and fuel out of the filter but she still won't start, not even a cough or splutter. So my questions What is the best way to check the injectors are firing? Where can I get the metal bits that hold the connectors onto the various sensors, the previous owner seems to have lost them all so the connectors can just be pulled off the PTU etc. Any other things to check??

thanks for all your help in my previous post, looks like i have a O/S turbo gone, so i recon it time to whip the engne out. can anyone suggest which hoses, gaskets, etc i should replace as a matter of course having taken the engine out and where to get them from (preferably without gettin ripped off) think i should also change cambelt seeing as its unknown when it was last done, what would i need for this, also looking out now for a O/S turbo if anyone has andy secondhand but good ones. mail is brian@rich-tec.co.uk Thanks Andy

Having recently had a kiddie, It's looking like the Zeds days are numbered. It's a 95 TT Auto in Metallic Green, so a really nice colour. Aftermarked 17" rims and a full SS Apexi exhaust system, DVD player, Toad Cat 1 alarm, and Greddy turbo timer. What sort of price would I be looking at/should advertise at...Oh and it's got 53500 miles on the clock. Thanks

Does anyone know what this ECU code means? 42 Fuel temperature sensor circuit The fuel temperature circuit is open or shorted (An abnormally high or low voltage is entered) I pulled the temp sensor plug a couple of days ago because it was getting hot after a combination of booting+hot weather+sitting in traffic, to make the sub fan kick in. So i am also getting a code 13 too. Am i getting the code 42 for the same reason or is it a different issue?

parked up, french plate????? only 300 we saw
