sounds like this is happening to mine, pardon me for being stoopid but are the o2 sensors not removed for the decatts or am i taliking out of my backside as i am not mechanically minded, how easy is it to change o2 sensors over? simon

thanks for the answers so far ......keep them coming! i dont think i have a boost leak as it is boosting right round the dash gauge and my aftermarket is showing 0.9 and 1.0 at the top of the rev range. is o2 sensor the next port of call as i have done the "blink test" and it showed code 55 no faults , does this include the o2 sensors or is it a separate test as i tried and got no blinks and can o2 sensors just fail and what other symptoms would indicate faulty sensors simon

the car has a two stage boost button fitted which is on steering column which you press for either setting and i dont even konw which is which!, it does not have dump valves, and has decat pipes leading to twin single exit 4.5 inch pipes. it is fitted with a turbosystems ecu which fellow members say is bad but all seems to be fine these were fitted before i bought car any other suggestions simon

need your help again guys car is now all fixed no faults showing and is not missfiring but........... when i am giving it a good rev and step off the acelerator whilst still in a lower gear and engine is decellerating from highish revs i get a load of pops and bangs and have been told that it seems to have flames coming out of the exhausts, now i think this means it is over fuelling? been told it looks fantastic but is this doing harm to my engine and where do i start trying to sort out over fuelling. car is totally standard uk tt manual with a two stage boost button fitted( dont know what the settings are!) never used to pop or bang, only doing it now car is all fixed and running like a dream and wow these things can shift! kindest regards sorry for long post simon

thanks for all replies... think i have found one of the faults the connector to the ptu going from the right side looking from front of engine was loose as part of the locating plastic surround has or was broken so it was not seating onto connector properly i believe the last mechanic has forced this off with out working out how to remove properly will let you know how i get on thanks simon

thanks for the replies so far i have another ptu which i am going to try rain does not affect it as it has totally standard induction. is not using water and temp is steady was thinking it was afm related as well but it is intermittant will probably have to buy or borrow another afm did the ecu test which gave me the code 55... couldnt seem to get the o2 sensor test to flash anything up maybe i did not warm the car up long enough? missfires whilst accelerating any more suggestions most welcome simon

car has a major missfire problem it is becoming more often as soon as it warms up changed two broken coil packs changed plugs checked leads checked temp senders done ecu test and had code 55 any other suggestions could it possibly be air flow meter or head gasket failure! turbos still boosting like they should all advice greatly appreciated before i lose all interest in this heap of junk which has cost me 3500 in repairs etc so far simon 1990 uk tt manual

can any body give me the part number for my air flow meter ...its a uk 1990 tt manual sorry but i am not mechanically minded and dont want to start taking things off if i dont have to thanks in advance simon (or if someone has a spare one for sale that will be even better)

hello ryan where abouts in ayr are you based and what colour is your car as i live in prestwick and work in ayr? simon

maybe you should do what i do sometimes..... pretend that you are nodding off by flopping your head to one side and make the car wander(without crossing lanes unless he is being a total a$%e) that usually makes them back off very very quickly

should scroll down and see the 911 turbo being chased by a supra clip

amazon. bought my self a sony 52" lcd rear projector flat screen cost me 945!!!! bl**dy bargain and bl**dy big!!

have placed a request with mjp but thought i would ask here as well, i need to get an idea or diagram showing what pipes there are running infront and above the front crossmember as i need to replace all the oil pipes as i have a major leak coming from one of them and my mechanic says he would rather replace them all while he is at it also the power steering pipes (also at front crossmember)need replaced as someone has used fuel line to bodge it along with bl**dy jublilee clips been told not to use car in the mean time which really jerks me off as i have waited four months to get the car on the road and i have only used it for two weeks.the only good thing so far is that the engine is not "gubbed" as originally thought :) thanks in advance simon

could you pm me too please

btt

i think you are correct in thinking its the turbo seal as the front oil cooler has been checked and a pipe was replaced.... what are the approx costs involved to fix said turbo seal? any other ideas or pointers people (especially the garage owners on here :bow: ) simon

smokes very very slightly on start up but not a lot of smoke

need your help urgently.. only had car on road for two weeks and it is pouring out oil from the front, have had car checked by mechanic and this is what he says....he seems to think the engine has a damaged turbo seal on the drivers side beause when he checked for the oil leak he says he found that the oil is leaking down through the drivers side ducting coming from the intercooler??? is this possible and have you guys got any other ideas where the oil is comin from and what kind of costs are involved. the car has been decatted, the car still seems to be still pulling like a train all help and replies eagerly awaited simon 1990 uk man tt

hello guys need your help, got my car on the road at last only took four months!!! have a few problems the main ones are 1. speedo works when it feels like it when it stops working the mileometer stops as well is the speedo cable operated or electrical? how do i fix. 2. very bad fuel smell, so i have ordered a set of smithys fuel lines, but have been told by my NEW mechanic that there are other fuel lines in the engine bay also? 3. has an oil leak from front drivers side, OLD mechanic stripped car back to oil cooler and says he replaced a pipe but it is no better any other suggested places it could be leaking from? apart from that the car goes like hell!! i thought my old 200sx was fast! i have still to try my adjustable boost switch on the highest position! kindest regards simon
