#34: Re: Johnk progress thread Author: Lecktorious, Location: ScotlandPosted: Wed Jun 30, 2010 6:28 am ---- Whats making the tyres catch on full lock, are they the wrong profile? Are you still using the 1.4 TU master cylinder? If you are, you'll be needing one from a 206 GTi or a 306 GTi-6 / 406 V6. Not sure how the latter will fit though...
#35: Re: Johnk progress thread Author: johnk, Location: Fife, ScotlandPosted: Wed Jun 30, 2010 8:57 am ---- not really sure mate, could just be as the coilovers are wound right down i bought spacers but need longer bolts to fit them.
yeah still using the 1.4 master cylinder changed to a bigger servo, would i have to get the master cylinder from one without abs same as mine?

You'll defo need to swap the master cylinder mate, that's what's causing the massive amount of pedal travel. Nore sure about the ABS though, as you've not got ABS it might start throwing up all sorts of ABS error codes though when the ECU senses the ABS pump isn't present

Updates?
Had it in for another mot today also got an engine flush and oil change, failed on emisions and brake load valve i think it was so nothing big, driving it home to fix the things and about half a mile from home there's a strong smell of petrol(thought nothing of it as its been overfueling with petrol coming out exhaust), got home on the drive and the smell was so strong was unreal, Looked under the car to see petrol spewing out all over the hot exhaust and petrol in the car park where i had driven!.
At this point told my mum to move her car and asked if anyone had a fire extinguisher as i was sure it was going up in flames!.
Cars still hot so not checked to see what went wrong yet luckily took a long way home from garage and avoided 5 speedbumps my exhaust had scraped over on the way for the mot or could have sparked and went boom!.
#41: Re: Johnk progress thread Author: johnk, Location: Fife, ScotlandPosted: Sun Aug 15, 2010 8:46 am ---- Things it failed on were.
1.exhaust emissions lambda reading after 2nd fast idle outside specified limits[7.3.D.2b]
#42: Re: Johnk progress thread Author: Anony-X, Location: NorwichPosted: Sun Aug 15, 2010 10:59 am ---- 1. i threw some redex cleaner through my car before the MOT, like 5x what they recommended than bombed it up and down a dualie to get the cat nice and hot and run the redex through and mine passed after failing on 2nd fast idle emissions
2. WD40 to the seized valve on the rear axe
