Re: Not starting. post HG

Can you confirm you have the HT leads in the right sequence.

Counting from the dissy cap the top to bottom (1 to 4) and for plugs (right to left 1 to 4)

Dissy 1 (top) = plug 1 (right)
Dissy 2 = plug 2
Dissy 3 = plug 4 (left)
Dissy 4 (bottom) = plug 3

Injector/ fuel system cleaner been done.

Don't think it's a fuel filter issue.

Under power, well I say that but more like half throttle if that makes a difference.

Re: 3s-GTE ‘putt putt’ sound

Are you sure it's not a leak from the exhaust manifold or turbo gasket? A slightly loose manifold or a small blow on the gasket can cause a slightly whispy put-put sound. It's not all the time, just 4th and 5th gear. Sometimes on startup it does a small put put but. I've just refit the stock exhaus...

Re: 3s-GTE ‘putt putt’ sound

Is it stuttering/misfiring too? My first thought would be water in the spark plug chambers (if that's what they're called :lol:) Its not misfiring as it pulls very strongly, but in 4th and 5th gear it doesn't like trying to cruise or pull way at lower revs 40 to 50mph. I've changed the plugs, and l...

Re: 10th Anniversary Edition - Turbo Project

Colour and car looks great in grey, although I am biased.

Grey is awesome.

I like grey cars.

Re: Possible to wind odometer back

I sorted it. There are a set of cogs that sit on the odometer drum, the teeth alternating between thick and thin. You need to pop out the shaft holding these cogs (steel spring bar May come off too, and the rotate number to desired mileage. Line up the thin cogs teeth in a row at the top (12 o'clock...

3s-GTE ‘putt putt’ sound

So I notice when at low speeds with low revs in 4th / 5th gear I notice what I can only describe as a ‘put put' sound from the air filter area.

Is this normal?

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Plastic welding broken fog mounts?

I've looked at plastic welding recently to fix my splitter, it seems heat and a polyethylene does the job easily. Hard part is trying to jack the front of the car up :neutral:
