That's what I said 0.43v......:whistling:

No... this is for the ironing.... lol

For pushing her onto low loader when she breaks down???? :lol:

Good excuse to put your feet up and watch some box sets of dvd's...... lol Hope it mends quick Dave..... give me a shout if you get bored mate..... Russ

are they connected to anything at the moment ? They should be attached to the actuators if it is boost controller.....

It looks like boost controller solenoid..... If you need new pipes you could try 'Leigh Baxter associates in Southend..... if they haven't got any they can get them usually or make them up..... Closed till after new year I think.....

What is on the end of the red hose that disappears under the blue intake pipe Racca???

got any pics???

Another problem found and sorted out...... The TPS was intermittent on the closed throttle switch and was open circuit in all positions unless you pressed on the outer casing of the switch.... so internal connections were dirty / worn.... Replaced with one of my spares from the Z cave and had instant reading on meter..... Checked for impedance of 9k, then between other TPS pins for 1k rising as throttle opened..... I could only get to 7.5k..... not the stated 9k.... linkage wouldn't go any further.... do I back off the 10mm bolt on plenum that's stopping it?? Finally I adjusted to 0.43v and switch reading closed on closed throttle...... when throttle opens the switch goes Open circuit and voltage on sensor goes to 5v. Disconnected sensor connector, started her up, waited 3 seconds and reconnected to clear Idle Position Memory..... I have yet to test drive her as wife gone out and left me with my 2 1/2 year old asleep on the settee.... So have to be quiet till she is back and no setting up ignition timing till then...... have my orders.... lol At least it is another thing off the list of things that have decided to stop bloody working on my Z.....lol

Next thing will be this kit fitted...........Even with my bodykit I just couldn't fit the high spoiler or any of this........:lol:

Right, tried A/T ECU fault code procedure..... And it won't go into fault codes.... when I press the accelerator I get nothing, no flashes, nout..... ???? This one....

Try eurocarparts as they have a sale on them at the moment......... got another email today....... lol

Pop down and say hello...... I will make you a coffee and bacon sarnie...... lol

I just gave up and now use a mop and bucket when I use the car...... rear window is like amazon rain forest now..... had waterfall running down it today.....

Looking nice there.......... clean and neat.......

Looks like it is making loads of difference Lee.............:tt2:

I can't PM you as your not subscribed...... email me at my user name + @sky.com

Cheers Stephen and Hollings.... done my research for today on fault code recall on the transmission ECU.... so tomorrow I shall add that to my list of things to do..... lol I guess I need to get a slicktop TT manual............ to put in my garage and work on........lol

lol..... did consider the spanish waiter conversion...... but like my easy auto's..... lol If I went back to a manual I would be losing my licence in a few weeks..... mis spent youth, hand brake, car parks and lots of tyres......... lol I will try going through the gears tomorrow and locking her down as you suggested..... I am putting the Saab aero back on the road tomorrow as my daily driver..... so that should make me grin after I drop the kids off each day..... more than the smart for four that I have been driving..... lol And give me time to sort the Z out properly....

I don't suppose anyone has a mk1 consult that they will sell for spares??? Or the power board for one? I need a working one to fault find mine and take some readings.....

Revs go up as though boost coming in and then doesn't spin or take off..... just revs and no acceleration..... if that makes any sense..... But next time I booted it....she took off better, but still not as I would expect...... was driving about 30ish and floored it..... no spin, revs went up quickly, but not much acceleration..... I have also had No kick down a few times...... and the power light on dash lit up twice........ I had better result when I turned switch to power setting as well........ Started to wonder if ignition timing is going out....... bloody hard to describe..... I need someone who has a TT to drive her and see what they think as I have never driven another TT Z....... I need to hook her up to consult.........

Well she runs again and no longer is stalling........ But still feels more NA than TT..... Tomorrow is check the TPS and Ignition Timing again...... I found a bolt wedged into the balance bar pipe to the idle air valve...... strangely this would have had to fall upward and be pressed in as it was well and truly jammed in.... needed levering out..... Now removed, new viton o'rings fitted to balance bar, new platinum plugs fitted and she runs again...... Went for a bit of a run and had very mixed results..... sometimes I had back end spin up when flooring her pulling away and others like an NA..... I noticed it sometimes and only sometimes feels like slipping clutch...... But being an auto box..... I am guessing I have a few problems left to sort out......lol Just waiting for a working consult adapter to arrive in the next week or so and I can see what the ECU is doing...... or not..... Now I know she runs and idles okay..... I have also found a leak on the rear of the NS head..... appears to be the VTC sensor leaking and the PCV hose leaking on back end....

I am wondering who ran over the panda?????

47......... Really........ only 47......... :tt2: At 47 you can still bend over to reach the valves???.............lol

I see Lee really is out of the closet now.......
