Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Second ecu in two years not working.

Cheers for the reply, I remember having a look at the first one and not noticing anything obvious. Not checked the second one yet, will have a look tomorrow. Do you know if there's any particular reason this happens?

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Do turbos glow red often in normal road use?

Never noticed during normal use, but did notice it glowing after the knock sensor caught me out once. Normal use I'd probably sway towards it shouldn't be glowing. The heat coming off of it after a hard session is ridiculous, never really payed attention to it when I'm taking it easy though, so I co...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] High Rev Missfire/Shuddering

I had a similar problem a while ago, but a bit more severe. The power would just die once the car was under any sort of load(usually at high revs). Turned out to be my Mass Air flow sensor had got water in it and was rusted inside. A poke about with a screwdriver and a tonne of WD40 sorted it. It ma...

Re: [Mk2] [NA] Grinding noise when turning right.

Hi, cheers for the reply. The thing that's steering me away from a wheel bearing is that a bearing in my old 323 went and it was a kind of wooing noise. Plus, it only makes the noise when turning right. I put a set of rotas on it about six months ago and I only got one spigot ring with them(guy that...

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] New Wheel Options

I always loved the original 15" wheels on the mr2, and yours look really good just now. I had them on mine for close to a year before I bit the bullet and bought a set of silver and gold Rota D1's. Car looks a million times better now haha. I'd say if you like how it looks in the picture then g...

[Mk2] [NA] Grinding noise when turning right.

Hello everyone, unfortunately my first post on this forum has to be a real puzzler. I have been to two different mechanics and the car has been checked over by one of the mechanics on three seperate occasions. The problem is that when turning right, usually after about 25% of the total travel, I get...
