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…

Short update about welding job.

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

No MAF sensor it’s a 1998

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...

I might have overlooked it, let me check that again You’re right I have that information ☺️ it’s been a while I’ve asked for your methodology, I must off forgotten all about it

I might have overlooked it, let me check that again.

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%...

For the fuse I needed I found that these work AERZETIX - C10285-5 x tape protection - 80А - with miter shovels - for high current - fuse holder https://amzn.eu/d/bixpPaU

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...

With everything setup, flywheel tdc etc the woodruff should be facing upwards. I attached a picture but can’t remember if I took it with everything aligned, might just have been to verify orientation.

You can check the fip position by removing the belt tensioner this is where you normally insert the sprocket holder if you want to remove the fip. I think you have to remove the nut in order to see the woodruff key, it should be facing up 12 o’clock

Well normally one shouldn’t dig that deep☺️ I love learning new things and I said to myself if I’m replacing the engine I might as well take a look inside. The idle should be at 750, it can be changed slightly by changing the pump calibration setting in the nanocom, it should normally be at...

I bought a tool like that as well, you don’t have to be 2 people for bleeding the brakes and that really helps. I have the height sensors on order, when they arrive I can do the calibration. Remember I was complaining about smoke a while ago. I had the injectors revised by a bosh centre...

Thanks for the suggestions

Hi guys, Now the engine is running sweet I just need to take care of some other bits and bobs before it goes to the welder. The eas needs further attention I had some problems with sensor readings and I’m planning to replace all 4 of them and do the calibration from scratch. Does anybody...

Checked yesterday how long the pump runs at startup, it’s about 38 seconds from key turnover. After that it only runs for a short time and after touching the brakes every4 to 5 times. Planning to do a bleeding hopefully this weekend. I finally got around installing the END chip, I had the Ecu...

Hi Guys, yet another question. I replaced the abs accumulator because the traction control light came on whenever I used the brakes. Also the pump would come on intermittently. I depressurised the pump as per rave and screwed on the new one. After that the pump ran for a bit. Now I noticed...
