    I want to travel with the car to Italy next summer. I want it to be reliable and so I figured I might as well change the entire unit if the regulator is indeed a high output one. What would be a good brand alternator?

    The regulator sits behind the alternator, isn’t there a complete unit available with the higher output regulator? Where did you source it from? Directly from mobiletron?

    This morning no gearbox fault 😳 drives normal. Verified output schaft signal on nanocom it seems that the signal is ok as seen by Ecu. Think I’ll change the oil a second time +filter. Charging voltage is around 13,8v.

    The gearbox had a filter and oil replacement just as transfer case and axels. There was some residue in the bottom of the gearbox oil pan. I cleaned it out and gave it fresh Julian’s filter. The car hasn’t driven a whole lot in the past years but never had a gearbox fault. It happened when i...

    Well I’ve been sitting here all frustrated and decided to read up on the forum. Found syncing issues are often the problem. Verified ems code in becm, it was reset to zero. Entered the correct code still didn’t work. Went to edc utility menu and “set new to robust”. She fired up straight away...

    Hi it’s been a while since I posted here. The car is back on the road since this week, it passed technical inspection without problems. I used it a few times already on the highway and I noticed a beeping alarm at the 120/km mark. This evening I thought I could disable this with nanocom in...

    Could very well be, but it wasn’t used according to the paper trail between 2012-13 till 2021. I think it sat outside for quite a while with of course defective air springs…

    Yes filter came out and has been cleaned. The external filter on the side I haven’t didn’t think it’s serviceable.

    Here I am again with another question. I’ve been trying to find the answer to a problem I’m having since quite a while withe the p38. The car starts and runs fine, pulls really good and doesn’t seem to have a lack of power. It has an END tuning chip installed and if you put the pedal to the...

    Hi guys The car is off to the welder hopefully it comes back without extra issues. The headliner is out and replaced nrv for rear window wash as well. Yet I have another question about timing modulation. I have set the modulation as per the method I got from datatek. I’ve set it to 50 +-5%...

    Well that’s provided that the data I found is correct. It is minimum 20 bar I measured 25 and 27 bar. But I suppose it’s fine then.

    Only dry test, I had to cut short the testing because the weather changed and I didn’t fancy doing this in the rain ☺️ I looked it up in rave compression test should yield results bigger than 20bar. It did not specify what the compression looks like when new. Google search and other forum say...

    Hi fellas has been a while since I posted here. P38 still isn’t finished. Today I did a compression test just out of curiosity because the engine has been rebuilt a while back. And since the head wasn’t exactly flat I wanted to see how a test like this would work out. Now I only did a dry...
