Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Turbo electrically folding door mirror. Advice appreciated.

I think that's correct.

I believe the non power folding mirrors are fitted with a three pin plug, the non power folding heated mirrors use a 5 pin plug, and the power folding and heated power folding use a seven pin plug.

Re: Central locking/remote central locking - Rev 3 turbo UPDATE: Diagnosis Gidden

Glad you're making progress. Hopefully obtaining a replacement door control module should sort things out. But it's hard to fathom why on earth PG removed it in the first place. It's hardly in the way tucked up there.

Re: Central locking/remote central locking - Rev 3 turbo UPDATE: Diagnosis Gidden

OK, if he's not been in the door and the plastic sheet looks undisturbed it's unlikely that those two connectors are the issue. I believe this is the location of the yellow door control module.

Re: Central locking/remote central locking - Rev 3 turbo UPDATE: Diagnosis Gidden

Had Gidden been inside the door for some reason. If he had and the master switch isn't working either, it's possible the connectors to the actual mechanism inside the door are loose or weren't plugged back in. http://www.mr2.org.uk/images/mr2_door_loom1.jpg You can see the white and gray connectors ...

Re: Central locking/remote central locking - Rev 3 turbo UPDATE: Diagnosis Gidden

Assuming the master locking push button on the drivers side window control panel works OK and locks the doors, it sounds like the connection between the locking mechanism and your alarm is unplugged or faulty. I don't have a Toad alarm on my car, but when I recently changed the driver's side loom fo...

Re: [Mk2] [NA] Swapping ecus?

That's a shame, provided the damage isn't too serious, you can usually repair an ECU with leaking capacitors. I had a couple suffer with that issue. I also had a rev2 manual NA a few years ago which kept cutting out and there were no signs of damage in the ECU. Unable to get to the bottom of the pro...

Re: [Mk2] [NA] Swapping ecus?

I don't think rev1 and rev2 ECUs are interchangeable.

Have you opened up the rev2 ecu to check for leaking capacitors and any damage to the tracks if they have leaked?

It's a pretty common fault.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Turbo hoses

To be honest I didn't buy a kit as such and simply measured up what I was after and talked it through with them on the phone as the range of kits on their website was a bit limited, and in many cases you just need to Know the length and internal diameter and what degree bends will do the job.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Turbo hoses

The hose from the AFM to the turbo will restrict your choice of supplier as most seem to only stock the later rev3+ hoses. I replaced all the others on my rev2 with hoses from sfs who were really helpful. http://www.mr2.org.uk/images/mr2_engine_bay4.jpg But unfortunately they couldn't supply the rev...

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Loose white wire and multiplug in engine bay fuse box.

I wouldn't have thought so, just looks like it's an unused connection from the stock wiring loom which wasn't needed because of the fuel pump upgrade.

If it's all working OK, I'm not sure if it would be wise reconnecting the white wire until you can trace where it's going to.

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Loose white wire and multiplug in engine bay fuse box.

For what it's worth my JDM rev 2 turbo has a white wire where you have just the empty connector, but the colours of the other wires looks different. So I guess it all depends on what harness was used during the conversion. http://www.mr2.org.uk/images/mr2_engine_fusebox.jpg It's possible that the sp...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Horn issue

Ok, yes the click seems to suggest the relay is pulling in, but what voltage is being sent to the horn. I'd start by measuring the voltage between relay terminal three and the chassis when you press the horn button. If you have 12v or so then the relay is fine. If the voltage is low it's probably co...
