    DIY Short Ram Air Intake (The Heath Robinson Method)

    A short-ram should give y ou very good low end power, but you'll loose a bit in high revs. Hope I'm wrong.

    Fuel Light?

    I would say around 7/8 liters. Good enough for 60 miles at slow pace, which is good.

    Stage 1 Remap + EGR Off - What are you waiting for?

    The EGR OFF closes the egr, so that part of the exhaust fumes do not enter the engine again for another burn. As the fumes leave the engine immediately, it can smoke a bit more. I think this is it. Now you got me confused.

    Headlight bulbs blowing - 55 plate iCTDI

    Hi Steve. Take some time to present yourself in the Welcome section. This is no special trick and does not mean it solves the problem, but we should never touch the lamp glass with bare hands. Use a cloth to put the lamp in place. Any moisture of you hands will make them blow easily. Anyway...

    17" wheels and tramlining

    I've changed from Bridgestone's Re 050 (tramlining was quite bad) to Michelin PS3 and it was quite an improvement. Almost no tramlining.

    Acceleration

    How's your air filter? Try to clean the intake port yourself. It's not a difficult job and can make a difference. Does it smokes on idle too, when you accelerate?

    P2004 - IMRC Intake Manifold Runner Control problems

    Yes, it's the solenoid. Had exactly the same problem: no symptoms at all went the light was on. The first time, I replaced the solenoid, which is quite expensive. Then some few weeks ago, the light came on again. This time, the remap did it all. The light went off without me touching the solenoid.

    P2004 - IMRC Intake Manifold Runner Control problems

    Easy: you could try first the filter of the on the IMRC valve. If it doesn't work you should replace the IMRC valve altogether. Or forget all above and go for the best solution: a remap with EGR delete (stock, Stage 1 or Stage 2). Had the same problem that you have and instead of buying a new...

    Acceleration

    I recall someone telling me that if the car is not under loading (parked car), it does not smoke. Try it.

    Acceleration

    I don't think it's the engine that's making all that smoke. I think it's probably the air intake "cleaning itself" from all the gunk.
