Looking goodCool

The reasons I don't like the tailpipes on the Jetex is due to the slash cut angle of it,and the smaller internal pipe size visible inside the tailpipeThumbs down
Looks like one of those tailpipe trims from Halfords IMOBig grin

Might look a bit better with the inside of the tailpipe where it reduces down painted black IMOYes

So yesterday i got the fault codes read out and as it seems it is down to the lambda sensor. Great little things these fault code readers are.


I then cleared al fault codes except that the airbag fault is permanent and i can not erase this one. Will have to look into this before going to Germany with the car.

What is the life expectancy of a lambda anyway (for a OE Bosch one that is)? As i think i have a spare one somewhere.

But does the wideband simply goes where the normal lambda goes and from there to the lambda plug as well as the rear of the gauge? No need to weld more bungs and stuff?

AEM seems to be the most reliable unit out there, others seem to go out of calibration regularly and sensors go down, which is rather odd as AFAIK most use the Bosch wideband lambda unit.

AEM is pre calibrated and requires no further calibration, it has a 0-5v (or 0-1v, can't remember which) output to suit the ecu as well as the usual gauge display.

whether this will work well enough for the o.e ecu to use I don't know, but its no big deal to buy a £5 boss and bung and add another point to fit the Wideband additionally to the o.e narrowband.

My AEM was very inaccurate, it read rich at low rpm and very lean under hard acceleration. A cross check against a calibrated lambda on a RR showed it to be fuelling perfectly but the guage was way off.

Also a few people found that when it was wired into the ECU the car run badly, it would hit flat spots in acceleration so most people just used it as a second sensor. (AEM) There was a group buy for them and a few threads up after they were fitted.

A wideband replaces the normal lambda so one would be sufficient enough, in most "quality" kits the Bosch lambda comes with it

As above, you can just add another bung easilyThumbs up

Then leave your standard lambda feeding your data to ecuSmile

So yesterday we changed the lambda sensor for a newer one i had in my spares box, no more fault codes of that one since then. That is good. Then we started to look for a place to fit the oil catch tank i had ordered last week
This is the one i got, it's the same one as Paul aka Takedown has ordered for his car

http://www.ebay.de/itm/Universal-Olauffangbehalter-Oilcatch-Tank-Schwarz-OCT-rundlich-Oil-Catch-Can-/111065161822?pt=DE_Autoteile&hash=item19dbffe05e

However there is no room for it anywhere in the engine bay. Can some of you post some pictures of their oil catch tank on their sc'd 6 or Rallye? Worst case scenario i'll have to find a smaller one. Any suggestions?

Probably find most are on track cars with the battery relocated.

Where the airbox was? Or is it not a good idea to mount one so low?

They are best positioned slightly higher than the cam covers,so any condensation will make its way to the can rather than hang about in the engThumbs up

Hello Fellas,

So as Monday was a bank holiday i set about attacking my PH3 Valeo's in order to get them black masked.
What the f**k was i thinking LOL I would never have thought these would be such a bas**rd to do. Without the right equipment (heat gun an specially the cheese cutter Razz ) i would never have got to open one up. So i started in the morning around 10 o'clock


About 2 hours later and sore fingers the first one was finaly open without breaking any clips Cool

I then set about opening the second, unfortunately one clip broke this time, but that's not that bad. After opening up both, i started to sand down the inserts back to the plastic which went rather well,

However when i set about putting on the transparent primer which is specific for plastics this happened to them Unsure

Lots of small and big cracks Dunno What do you guys advise me to do? The parts had been sanded down an cleaned with brake cleaner.
Another question is what product do you guy use to polish the headlights? As mine have a few quite deep scratches which i would like to sort out.


Any advice is welcome and thank you for looking

Maybe the brake cleaner had soaked into or softened the plastic, or there was still some residue still on the plastic which reacted with the primer? Brake cleaner is pretty powerful stuff.

I would leave them a day or so and then sand them back (make sure you sand out the cracked primer entirely or the cracks will come back through) then clean with either water based cleaner or special panel wipes that you can buy from a motor factor (intended to get residue off panels before painting). Then prime again.

To polish out the the marks on the headlights I would use a car polishing wax with abrasive in it such as T-cut which you normally use to restore dull paintwork. If that doesn't get all the marks out, use fine wet and dry sandpaper such as 1200 grit on the deeper marks. This will leave the plastic dull where you have sanded it. Then T-cut polish on top of that to restore the clarity. With some experimentation it should improve the headlights a lot.

Marco gebruik amoniak om te ontvetten, remreiniger is niet wat je wilt gebruiken om te ontvetten!

Amoniak??? Hoe moet ik aan dat spul komen? Krijg je dat zo maar te kopen? Heb jij je 306 al weten te starten?
