Re: [Mk2] [NA] Rev 1 wiper adaptor questions
I'm being a bit of a tight a#se really. For £2 I can add the adaptor which allows the fitment of any wiper I would have bought a second hand set of arms but the screw type ones on the rev 1 are in such nice condition it seems a shame to change them.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Suspected ignition problem, dizzy and rotor??
I had similar issues with mine got to the point where I had to change parts did coil, ignitor, ecu, dizzy, rotor arm, leads, plugs and after all that it was bad earth leads to the engine block oh and x3 dodgy genuine knock sensors.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Suspected ignition problem, dizzy and rotor??
Few things I would check. If it's not starting make sure if it's a rev 1 or 2 engine the AFM plug is clean and fitted tight. If it's rev 3 onwards you won't have this. It may be your not getting a ign signal to the ecu of there is no spark. You would need to go through the book for the test proceedu...

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Any tips to stop doors freezing shut
Thanks for all the advice guys. So a little time on and its a million times better. No frozen doors and leaks are almost a thing of the past! The seals look much more healthy and plump! I had heard of dear tallow in the past but it wasn't something I even know how to start looking for! Thanks Again!

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Suspected ignition problem, dizzy and rotor??
It was only rev 1 dizzy that was different as it had the locking tabs on it for the HT leads. They do suffer with ignition issues alot so it's always worth changing dizzy cap and rotor etc when possible. Silly question but the spark plug holes aren't filled with water or oil are they? Heavy rain and...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Suspected ignition problem, dizzy and rotor??
From memory yes they are the most common two. If they leak alot they damage the printed circuit board underneath so they are definatly worth replacing even if it isnt resolve to the issue. You can get them from maplin for penny's. Although it's worth putting in the best quality you can find. Get som...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Suspected ignition problem, dizzy and rotor??
Hi mate, Plugs shouldn't make that much diffrence as long as they are gapped correctly. Of you are fairly happy dizzy and leads are okay I would put money on a faulty capacitor on the ECU. As these cars are getting older its becoming increasingly common. Could also be a weak coil? It's quite easy to...

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Any tips to stop doors freezing shut
Thanks Paul. I had cleaned the seals but the issue remained. I don't know if it's just where I live that i get this artic frost at the end of the road but the last 4 mr2's all did it. Some hard top some t-top. Silicone spray may be the answer I was looking for. I was worried about putting something...

Re: [Mk2] [NA] Air temp sensor location for aftermarket induction
Not really, the temperature inside the airbox is not going to be all that different to the temperature immediately outside it. The K&N kit has a hole in the filter for it to sit in which is nice. I'd probably make the hole if you have the time to do it as it's a neater install. The wire to it f...

[Mk2] [NA] Air temp sensor location for aftermarket induction
Hi guys, So I finally got a cheap ebay induction kit on my daily rev1 NA. The only reason I changed it was to loose the air box restriction and get that great induction noise the 3sge makes. Fitted it today all is well however the universal kit came with a hole and grommet with a piece of hose that ...
