My second T4, operation de-chav

[Activ8]

Are you still looking for brake discs for those Brembo stoppers? Was it 345x28 (cannot remember exactly) if so Porsche 996 Carrera & Boxter S use this size.

Yep that's the size but it all depends on the size and shape of the bell.

Hopefully got the triology of disasters out of the way fo this week....

Reversed into a fence

Van wouldn't start and stay running - the old problem resurfaced whilst at the beach, I'm now back to version 2 ECU and a flashing glow plug light. Thank god I keep a spare ECU in the glovebox just in case.


Meanwhile on with the dent removal, had a good idea....

Borrowed a sphygmomanometer. (like you do)



Simply place inside the cavity and inflate.

The big dent needs a lot more work but it is a lot smaller.



The little dent nearly popped out in one go

Anything I can do to help?
So the cloned ECU is not working but the original is?
I've got EDC15 ECU plugs if you need one?

Cheers - I bet it's that wire from the crank sensor popped out again

While you mention EDC plugs - been meaning to ask, do you have a bench ECU programming setup? I've a spare pair of plugs and fancy making a bench programmer

No bench programmer as such just a few ECU plugs with the relevant wires having plugs on. I prefer to use the plugs so the pins don't get bent or damaged.

On the dent removal subject, we have a kit for this. It's a slide hammer and various plastic pegs that you stick to the panel with a hot glue gun. It takes a little time, patience and practice but it works a treat with no damage to the paint. When done, a drop of alcohol removes the little pad of glue. I think it was about 100 pound from ebay.

What a great idea.... just need a blood pressure condition.... but think I've got a door opener that might work.

When I had low blood pressure the doctor prescribed Ikea furniture. Had to assemble some twice a day for a week.

I’ve got a similar device , I’ll post some pics up when I’m home in a few days .

Had a thought last night

When it wouldn't start the fault was like the immobiliser cutting in- exactly what it did when the crank sensor wire was pushing out of the connector housing.

But.....

I'd just got out of the surf

Was in a rush as my boy had left the beach and I though he was still out with his surf school group - so I was late.

My immobiliser was re-enabled some time ago and I had to write a few chips to fit in keys - all the keys except my surf key.

Had I tried to start the van with my surf key?

Couldn't remember so I swapped back to the other ECU and tried one of the chipped keys - yep started and ran fine.

Doh!

Lasted about 10 miles of charging up North Devon link road hills before this happened (again)



I put the boost pipe back together and moved the coupling so more section was over the join that keeps popping

The repair lasted about half a mile,

I needed to tighten the clamp more than it was capable of, this was the best I could do



Finally made it to the end of the link road and picked up this.

Lengthen the silicon joiner and double mikalor from both sides.

Nice engine. The pieces are coming together?
