easy people! i know ive probably posted enough 'tech' topics to drive ulot and bonkers! but i need some more help on the temp sensor or maybe even the circuit. the i recently did a ecu diag and...code 13 which is, if im correct the temp sensor. just replaced it and.....NOTHING! i presume its the circuit or somin but how do i go about rectifying it? cheers lads, jaz

Any colour, skuffs & scratches not an issue! just needs to be ok at upper fitting closure. harve

All the sensors seem to be within range. Only oddities seem to be: i) Right O2 sensor consistently gives slightly higher voltage reading than left at idle ii) Whenever I accelarate hard the time drops to as low as 3 degrees. With normal accelaration it just gardually climbs Could any of these be the cuase of the lower power

Read on the company intranet today that depending on production targets they will concider setting a date for releasing the new Z in Europe. Had the retail prices in Yen and it roughly worked out at 13.5K up to 18.5K but i bet you that wont be the price if its sold in the UK, there will be another 10K clear profit added to that i bet because people here are mugs and the car manufacturers know it hence you get shafted.

Joe was a successful lawyer but he was increasingly hampered by incredible headaches. When his career and love life started to suffer, he sought medical help. After being referred from one specialist to another, he finally came across an old country doctor who solved the problem. "The good news is I can cure your headaches... The bad news is that it will require castration. You have a very rare condition, which causes your testicles to press up against the base of your spine, and the pressure creates one hell of a headache. The only way to relieve the pressure is to remove the testicles." Joe was shocked and depressed. He wondered if he had…

Hi Sometimes when I start my TT Z I hear a 'chink...chink...chink...chink...chink...chink...chink...chink...chink...chink...'! It gets faster with revs and usually disapears once the engine has warmed up - sometimes not though. Any ideas where I should start looking? Cheers, Andy

Just got my AGX shocks delivered today from Phuong. Question: Do I need any additional bits to fit them? The shocks just came with the nuts for the top. I'm presuming I can re-use the old lower mounting bolts and other bits and pieces. I'm probably wrong so I'm looking forward to being corrected again! Cheers

wot was the name of that wheel cleaner you mentioned at billing m8 my old grey matter has forgot

Hi All, When I start my car from cold and pull away from a junction, the revs drop off as though it's going to stall - happens just as I apply pressure to the accelerator pedal. Hasn't stalled as yet, it's just annoying. Any ideas anyone? It's fine when warm. 90 TT Auto Jap, SE chip, AVC-R and Blitz SUS. Advice appreciated as ever.....

I am about to throw more money down the drain and upgrade to a TT. Therefore, my NA is up for grabs at a (IMHO) ridiculous price. It is a 1991 Metallic Grey, stock NA with 75k on the clock. The 112 Mph limit has just been lifted, and the cambelt has just been replaced. Regularly service by Nelson since its import. Please do get in touch for the price and help me do the right thing....;-)

Hi there... I just bought a Z the other week - a 1990 SWB NA from an ad on here (in case anyone saw it) - and I'm loving it, BUT I just wanted to ask about a couple of problems it seems to have. I should perhaps warn that I'm not too good with car things, not very good at all, in fact :/ I've got a mate who can bodge most stuff, but I'm loathe to let him lose on the Z. Anyway: Firstly, sometimes the speedo needle shoots off the scale and stays there for a while (sometimes several minutes). There's a separate digital speedo installed too, and that then shows '0'. The rev counter works fine, though. Sometimes there's a chime when the speedo comes back again. I've …

Right the car has two wires connected to the stock auto shifter for the O/D switch. One wire is black and one white. On the Razo the two wires are the same sodding colour being black with silver stripes...WTF is that all about? So I took a guess and wired it up and threw it all back together and yep, you guessed it, the O/D isn't working! Is this a simple case of taking the whole trim apart AGAIN and reversing the wires round? I would've thought so?

Just wondering if anyone else is having any delay getting parts ordered from Mark Brand?? I ordered a pair of tie bars from him ages ago (sent the cheque over 6 weeks ago) and still haven't had anything back. I've now asked him to return my money and am waiting for a reply. Cheque was cashed over 5 weeks ago. Does anyone else on the list live in Belfast or know Mark personally?? I would like to make it clear that I'm not in the habit of bad mouthing anyone on the web, this is an enquiry brought about by my urgent need to replace my knackered bushes and concern that I've paid for something that I'm not going to get....could have bought 'em ten times over an…

After a quick drive on country roads the other night the failings of 'our' lights was more than obvious! With the longer nights approaching, I began thinking about what to do, well, I've spoken to a company in the states about a possible Group Buy on HID conversion kits. I am initially only looking at the dip beam lights, as I don't think the mains are too bad as they are, (mains are available if required). The kit offers the 9006 Bulb, along with the required Ballast and fitting kit. Offering a huge improvement over the standard lights, bringing things up to a 'modern' standard. In order for this group buy to go ahead I need 10 definate orders, the co…
