[Mk2] [NA] What a Pain Lambda Sensor Removal

Got my new lambda sensor today, so thought I would have a go at getting the old one off. Well i decided even though I had the car jacked up there was no easy way for me to access the two nuts to remove the sensor, it seems for everything on the twos you need ET fingers to get at everything. So i hav...

Re: [Mk2] [NA] Should engine check light illuminate when ignition is switched on?

Glad it hasn't been tampered with deliberately anyway. My dad bought a Vauxhall Omega a couple of years ago and somebody'd stuck a bit of tape over the ABS warning light so you couldn't see it on the dash. 4 new wheel sensors and about 20 hours of labour later, he wasn't at all pleased. Yeah I woul...

Re: [Mk2] [NA] Low Idle, Temp Guage not Working Properly

Okay managed to do ECU after fourth time thinking my engine check light was bust . . completely forgot about immobiliser, all working now.

I believe I got error code 21 (two flash pause one flash) which is the O2 sensor signal, So I think its a safe bet to buy a new one.

Re: [Mk2] [NA] Low Idle, Temp Guage not Working Properly

Check for ECU error codes. If the lambda sensor is faulty it will produce a code. A knackered ECU temp sensor would cause it to run rich but only until it's reached normal operating temperature. If the ECU temp sensor has failed the car would run like a dog until it was warm. Does your car reach no...

Re: [Mk2] [NA] Should engine check light illuminate when ignition is switched on?

Did you just buy the car? Removing the "check engine" and "check ABS" warning lights is one of classic "dodgy dealer" tricks. bu88er ](*,) How Do I go about checking this, Is there a fuse??? could it just be the bulb? or something else, where about's is it on the dash ...

Re: [Mk2] [NA] Low Idle, Temp Guage not Working Properly

anyjoy mate? I did not get time to fit thermostat, but also looks like I have knackered the cat by driving it with the stuck open thermostat (constantly running rich/idle fueling) So I have ordered a stainless decat pipe from flea bay and hopefully get it fitted at the weekend. Will keep you up to ...

As per another topic I had a problem with the car (Mk2 Rev3 NA import) not warming up and staying on choke I believe due to a stuck open thermostat, I had to drive the car like this on what seemed constant cold fuelling for approximatley 80 miles. The fuel economy was appalling used half a tank of f...

Re: [Mk2] [NA] Low Idle, Temp Guage not Working Properly

Do you have wet carpets under your mats... passenger side? Or if not can you get under the car to look for coolant leaks... particularly near the fuel cell. First thoughts through my head... 1) thermostat... get to an affiliate and swap it for a known good one, run the car and presto, it'll solve i...

Re: [Mk2] [NA] Low Idle, Temp Guage not Working Properly

Where are you based mate?.... Can you get it to an affiliate for diagnostics? If it's head gasket I reckon you'll see mayo in the oil filler cap. It could be air in the system effecting the gauge but it would do it fairly regularly on a long run I would have thought not just when sitting. Could be ...

I then stopped on my drive, the car (just bought) seemed to be idling lower than it had about 700rpm rather than 900rpm. So i thought try some fuel system cleaner and a tank full of Shell Optimax fuel. It still s...
