Just had it remapped by Fahad. Appears to have solved the annoyance. Strange how little things in a car can really irritate you.

FF done a week or so ago, air filter and oil. Had loads of problems with it which were eventually down to two pipes on the turbo the wrong way around and a loose pipe to the actuator. - I can now actually hear my turbo spool up and not go into limp mode. Maybe I'm expecting too much of it with...

They have that much turbo lag - ****** hell. It is really like driving a Saab 9000

My car is 1000% better. However after a trip from Newcastle to London and back I have noticed the following. Push the accelerator gently and it speeds up nicely. Push it gently, let go and push it down hard, it has a flat spot, then starts to pick up. It works, it goes fine, but there is...

They also have a countach up on the ramps just now - £9,940 for a clutch and £4000 for a gas strut - needed two new ones. Owner of the garage has a Gt40. http://www.autolink-garage.com/service-repair/honda.html If you are in Newcastle and need a garage.

So garage called today, they have found the fault. Two pipes to the turbo were the wrong way around and one pipe to the actuator/wastegate was missing a clip and so wasn't on tight. They have tested the car and it's fine. £105 - which is a bargain in my books for a few hours labour. Tested...

Be interesting to see how they are getting the heat dissipated from them

Is this under the locked area of the boot in the touerer or under the car itself?

I've been having a good look on Ebay at turbos just in case mine is goosed. Prices range from 200-900 but about 200-350 appears to be the norm. CRV FRV Civic and Accord are often listed for the 2.2 Were all N22A1 on them. Is there a difference for N22A2 So just to check are all these...

It's goign back to the Honda specialist tomorrow evening. He will check the turbo actuator and exhaust side of the turbo for me to see if they are stuck and coked up. I will mention the boost control solenoid. I noticed it the other day, it is the one with the white filter coming off it, isn't...

I cleaned my intake intake flap thing at the weekend, it wasn't too bad and is possibly off a scrapper from the paint marks on it. I noticed the butterfly flap is held on my two screws to the bit that moves it. Has anybody tried running their cars without the butterfly in place? I get this...

So decided to check the inlet manifold, butterfly flap etc to see how coked up it was. Not very is the answer. One side was more so than the other, but that was on the side that didn't have the butterfly. They parts were both very clean though and on removing I noticed the telltale sign of...

Maybe someone on the forum has it.

So I had my frequency solenoid replaced £117 down plus 50 to the garage. Faults cleared. Drives like a completely different car, but still goes into limp mode with the same error. So to recap. Rag it and it goes like stink. Drive it sensibly there is a significant hesitation at 1800-2200...

Any chance of this being reuploaded?

I'm positive http://www.maplin.co.uk/electronic-solvent-cleaner-30056 Is what they are using in MAF cleaner, but charging twice as much for it.

Is MAF cleaner any different t Maplin's PCB or electronic cleaning spray? It's £4 for Maplin or £10 for a can of MAF cleaner.

Where can I find a UK list of TSB ? I want to know more about one the garage mentioned today about faulty ecu reading over or underboost - affected 2005-2006 cars. Spoken to two Honda garages and they know nowt, but independent spoke to his man at local Honda who warned that this is a...

Do they all have them? I thought the preheating system was based to on the a/c syste.

Definitely shop around. A mate has just had the bottom end go on his S4. He was quoted 2k for a rebuild. Phoned around, got a breaker on Ebay who agreed to 750 for the engine, turbos, ecu - everybody else wanted 1k for the bottom end. He negotiated 650 over the phone if he went to Coventry...
