Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Front drivers side knocking REV3 Turbo.

Well, I don't know there is nothing wrong with it. The steering rack has been replaced but not the steering knuckle part and it does knock from this area as I said before. It's a shame your not closer to me Peter or I would come over. Half my problem is that the noise dies down after so long/so many...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Front drivers side knocking REV3 Turbo.

As the steering rack has been replaced already, I figure I may as well get a spare steering knuckle/column and swap it for mine?

Any other ideas please?

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Front drivers side knocking REV3 Turbo.

Hello Mr2Madlad, Did you ever find a solution to this? Getting exactly the same problem myself. Changed the ball joints, track rod ends, steering rack end, then got a reconditioned steering rack, replaced all the front end bushes, tried to check everything is tight etc. Not made any difference at al...

Re: [FINALIZED] Rev3 Turbo - N Reg - Owned for 10 Years

Hi Steve,
I'm in Stoke on Trent, just off junction 16.

I don't have any engine/interior pictures at the moment, but I can try and get some sorted in the next few days.
It has the standard black interior with nothing broken etc.

Hope this helps.

Re: [FINALIZED] Rev3 Turbo - N Reg - Owned for 10 Years

Off the top of my head I can't remember exactly.
I can check when I get it back from the garage.
It's around 95,000 I think.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Silly cheap Intercooler kits?

Ok thanks for that.
Sounds a bit hit and miss then, especially considering it's not a 5 min job to swap the intercooler over (well not for a mere mortal anyway!)

Anybody else reading tried one of these?

[Mk2] [Turbo] Silly cheap Intercooler kits?

Hello folks, I don't normally post on here but found these Intercooler kits on t'interweb. Surely they can't be any good for these prices (esp the last one) or can they...? Maybe somebody here has one or similar :-k http://www.japspeed.co.uk/Toyota-MR2/Engine-Tuning/Toyota-MR2-SW20-Turbo-Intercooler...

Re: ECU fault codes 34 and 47

Hi Jon, your symptoms sound to me like your hitting overboost, plus the error code 34 I am 99% certain is overboost too. If its not anything playing up causing it, then maybe it was just a coolish night, it can happen sometimes. You could try an ecu reset to clear the codes in case the 47 code is un...

Re: I swear my car hates me!

Think I see which one you mean on your pic, doesnt look like the one I was thinking of then lol. I was looking at one that looks like another unit similar in size to the TPS maybe bigger, with another similar electrical plug type connector. Not sure what that is then, its right under the short rubbe...
