#558: Re: Project sleeper Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Fri Oct 08, 2010 12:44 pm ---- Got the car back today...and it works! So naturally the first thing to do was to take it apart.
Fitted the EGR blanking plate from a GTi 180. Cost £33 for the bits from the dealer. Looks a bit neater. No point having the EGR valve there if it's not doing anything. Also means I can remove the wiring to it as well.
All this lot can now get removed from the original loom. There's hardly anything left of it anymore.

#561: Re: Project sleeper Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Sat Oct 09, 2010 8:24 am ---- Finished it off today.
In the end I took out all this lot. It's a lot neater and there are only about 8 cables left in the old loom.
I wanted the knock sensor wiring into the Omex but it didn't get done but I'm not too bothered as the Omex isn't set up yet to use it. So I thought i might as well remove the sensor...saves a bit of weight!
This is how the injector wiring looks...it should always have been like this! Can't wait to get rid of that cheap throttle linkage too.

#563: Re: Project sleeper Author: Schumi, Location: Istanbul / TurkeyPosted: Sat Oct 09, 2010 10:00 am ---- Good work. Any picture of complete new wiring from far.
#564: Re: Project sleeper Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Sat Oct 09, 2010 10:15 am ---- Most of it is hidden. It runs from the glovebox over the inner wing in tubing then down behind the airbox to the air temp sensor and throttle position sensor. It then goes upwards to the injectors. It also goes over thee gearbox to the crank sensor which I was lucky to be able to get hold of replacement pins for the standard crank sensor plug so that was rewired and linked to the Omex and also the original ECU via shielded cable to run the rev counter.
Later I need to activate the air temp sensor via the laptop. Ecosse didn't fit one so they set the Omex at a default temp of 25 degrees. Omex did some adjustments to the map and set the default to 20 degrees.
When the car is started from cold if it touch the throttle in the first few seconds the engine wants to stall. The auto electrician thinks this is because the cold start fuelling is too lean. Omex also suggested I change the settings (very easy to do) to improve the cold start. I might give this a try as well.
#565: Re: Project sleeper Author: macj, Location: EssexPosted: Sat Oct 09, 2010 11:32 am ---- You can richen the fuel in relation to the engine temp on the cold start/choke cycle... you should be able to pick out the section in the tuning menu on the laptop and sneak it yup a touch, the choke cycle will cut out at a given engine temp.... easy for a man of your knowledge mate
#566: Re: Project sleeper Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Sat Oct 09, 2010 11:38 am ---- Yes Omex have given me the instructions how to do it. It's a simple case of changing a single number on the screen.
#567: Re: Project sleeper Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Wed Oct 13, 2010 1:33 pm ---- Took the 206 for its MOT today. It went and over heated when doing the emissions tests! I could hear water somewhere then steam was coming from under bonnet. I think pretty much all the coolant came out the cap and landed in the pit!
The fan is working but something says it's only running at its slowest speed. The temperature guage is often seen beyond the vertical position when sitting in traffic. The car does run hotter than it used to but it's not something the fan shouldn't be able to deal with. I think the next step is to get the Omex to control the fan instead of the original ECU. I just don't trust the original ECU to do anything anymore!
I also ordered some more wiring kit just to do some tidying up. A few metres of various diameter split convoluted tubing and some T pieces and end caps for where the tubing meets Superseal connectors. It's certainly looking a lot tidier now.
#569: Re: Project sleeper Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Fri Oct 15, 2010 12:36 pm ---- Another little tweek today...
The airbox always sat a bit high relative to the carbon airbox on the bodies. It also made fitting the airfilter box lid a bit awkward sometimes too. It was sat on the mounting bracket perfecly too.
So this bracket needed a bit of adjustment. It was removed and drilled so it could be moved down 10mm.
The inlet air temp sensor was also fitted into the airbox too. The Omex didn't even need the sensor activating, it already knew it was there and was reading it as 9 degrees.
Result is it sits much straighter. I'm not convinced it's 100% straight but it's a lot better.
