    P38A Oh what have I done...

    It's going! :) Started after much cranking this morning, running rough. Slackened FIP and tap, tapped until it sounded better. (Yes, last tap back towards engine!) Modulation at 80% 'tho, which is not ideal... injection actual and set within .5. Stopped and started up again okay. I then changed...

    EGR blanked off years ago. I'll try the MAF...

    P38A Oh what have I done...

    I haven't done yet. What to look for? I'm going to have to go and see if I can get it to start again...

    Stops dead

    P38A Oh what have I done...

    No lights showing, no faults on Nanocom.

    P38A Oh what have I done...

    I don't think so. Which one is that? Where is the sensor?
  7. plumbfisher

    P38A Oh what have I done...

    No - certainly not intentionally. What is bewildering is why would it run and then cut out
  8. plumbfisher

    P38A Oh what have I done...

    Why will it run okay and then just cut out? That is my question. Should I bleed off all the injector pipes? Do they not bleed themselves once running via spill off pipes?

    PS I've got a Nanocom but have a bit of difficulty really knowing how to use it other than to check modulation. It doesn't show any errors in ECU

    P38A Oh what have I done...

    Morning all, 2.5 DT was running well but irritating leak from FIP so thought I'd have a look. Realized that there was nothing much I could do, so put the manifold etc back on. Then it wouldn't start. Tested fuel solenoid - ok. Eventually got it going with a blast of easy start into the manifold...

    RAVE .

    Thank you so much for this! I've been trying to get Rave back for weeks. That last link worked, and then, as Saint V8 suggested, by going into Rave Application - Properties - Compatibility ,and changing it to Windows 98/me, it now works again on the (Windows 10) laptop :)

    :):):)Thanks everyone for your help. This is a great forum. Often more useful than RAVE!

    P38A Heater matrix connections

    Thanks Brian, that's what I needed to know! I think I need to make sure that it is the plastic bit that is leaking, and then I'll try and get an Audi one if it is. Easier to move the pipes and check again now the hoses are disconnected under the bonnet. Do you think you have to take out the...

    Thanks Roller. :)Yes very much still about and driving it! Took the back seats out at the start of lockdown (no passengers) and so we've now got a real comfy bed goes in the back. Stayed in it a few times after music sessions/parties/**** ups. Put a battery, split charger and inverter in too...

    Just got MOT after replacing track rod and drag link. Pleased (surprised too) to see that emissions are really low - .2 , limit 2.8. :) Confirms my view that it is a 'green' car. 20 years old and clean(ish) A couple of advisories including a leaking steering box which was an exchange one put on...

    Tail Gate button

    I did this a few weeks ago... Get into the tail flap. The two wires going into the switch (with the wee plug on). Splice new wires into those and take them to wherever you want the new switch. (I just wanted to be able to open the back from the inside...) You need a contact and release type...

    P38A RAVE again...

    Thanks:) Trouble is Acrobat still won't read it:mad: (as Marksman said) An 'iso' file, any one know of another reader which will work?

    I couldn't understand why... good to have an explanation. :rolleyes:

    P38A RAVE again...

    'Morning All, Same old question I'm afraid. Can someone give me a working link to RAVE download please? Mine has spontaneously stopped working. Whenever I try to open it Acrobat says it can't, file is corrupted. I've tried all the links in the Techie section to no avail. Thanks
