    Intake manifold and EGR cleaning on i-CTDi

    What you see there is part of the circuit that feeds the hotwire, its just a diode, the hotwire is inside the housing, once you remove the MAF you can see the way it's put together, the sensor wire (or wires as it's hidden not sure exaclty of its composition), is hidden from view, but if you...

    Euro R Power Folding Mirror Retrofit

    Great mod, looking forward to seeing the details. I'll do this mod on my facelift, always forget to fold the mirrors in so this will sort me out!

    Reverse camera

    Turned into a bit of a horror. Agree with what's been said, only to add is the battery disconnected whilst its charging? I don't always if I'm just giving it a trickle charge, but then I know my charger, (I built it, and know its characteristics), especially has you have the faults show up...

    Reverse camera

    Nick, I was just going to point you in the right direction, but you found it. There is also a good guide here on civinfo that identifies the plug connections quite well.

    Reverse camera

    Yes, I see, thanks for that link, very comprehensive and detailed. As you say, Honda priced and out of the question for me too, but I can also see where they are fitting it and agree with a bit of work an Ebay camera would go there too.

    Reverse camera

    This a job I'm planning, though with the Tourer I concluded the best option was going to be a 'bullet' type camera in the bumper. I failed to find any other camera that would be a better choice, and you've confirmed my suspicions that the saloon license plate one is a no goer in the Tourer. I'm...

    Cleaning EGR passage ways

    Nick, I got the BG244 and also the MAF cleaner a couple of days ago. I'm waiting till I need to put some fuel in before using the additive, just my luck I filled already so want to use a bit first so I can get it well mixed up in my tank by putting a few gallons in from the pump, basically to...

    Cleaning EGR passage ways

    I've got a reply from Powerenhancer regarding the ability BG244 to clean the EGR system. It seems like a well respected product, but I thought I'd them specifically about how it can clean the exhaust side of things. Here is the reply; Click to read Scroll down to the bottom of the page to read...

    Lights Out

    Surely it would have to be two fuses to go at the same time to loose both mainbeam? There are four fuses, two for the dips and two for the mainbeams, each side is protected separately (certainly is on the face lift icdti, and has been on most cars for a long time now), to avoid just this kind of...

    All the credit goes to you! I don't know why the embedded video doesn't work, but if you double click on it, it will take you to youtube and it plays fine there.

    Dash Cam CCTV

    I wanted to get one of these but didn't know which to go for, so thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I got this a couple of days ago and fitted it straight away. I've got the auto dipping mirror, so took power from the plug, I used a straightened paper clip to make two 'prongs' that I...

    Noisy or Rattling timing chain

    Does this apply to all 7th gen, or is it just pre-face lift?

    What sort of mpg do you all get on your diesels?

    I'll check manually next time I fill up, seems they are a bit on the optimistic side then. I know the 'miles left to empty' can be unrealistic, starts off high and gradually adjusts itself downwards, but that is getting its information from the potentiometer in the fuel tank, ie it's crude. I...

    Cleaning EGR passage ways

    I'm in total agreement, but willing to try it out. If it cleans only the inlet side of things as well it claims to I'll be happy, if it does the EGR system too then that will be a bonus.

    What sort of mpg do you all get on your diesels?

    I have a facelift. I do keep meaning to check the on board display with actual measured consumption, but haven't done yet. Do you think it's over optimistic? Maybe I should do the test next time I fill up and see how realistic it is. Hope I'm not disappointed!

    Cleaning EGR passage ways

    Thanks for that extra bit of info, I'm quite interested to get my hands on it, though have decided to try BG244 first, even though I'm also sceptical of additives, I did think a two pronged approach would be a good way to tackle this. There does seem be enough independent reviews of this to...
