  1. I’d check the car top to bottom first to make sure he’s not just put in somewhere else. Other than that if you were thinking of taking it to a tyre fitting place to pop your new tyre on then theyll probably have right tool or a spare ‘big enough’ socket to do the job.
  2. It’s gotta be wiring or the module then mate surely, need to really explore the loom, you’d be surprised how some stuff can look fine but be totally knackered.
  3. You don’t do that to a car with the mindset of selling it do you, you don’t modify any car for the thought of resale value, you do it to suit your own taste and what you want to make you smile.
  4. Welcome back, car looks great, I don’t have fb so it’s nice to see the car again.
  5. High temp silicone is still gasket isn’t it? And have you got low voltage faults for the other modules?
  6. There’s gaskets over each compartment when the plug sits, they fail and it allows the oil splash in.
  7. There’s a gasket around the top of the cam carrier which fails and starts letting oil inside the plug chambers, a wet, oily spark plug will struggle to provide a good spark, especially from cold with cold, thick oil around it. The only reason I know this is because it happened on my wife’s one, spent ages cleaning and cleaning the tb, replacing the tb and then noticed the plugs had oil round them.
  8. I’d be tempted to whip out your plugs and see if they’re oily.
  9. Get it scanned for faults, could be cam/crank sensor issues, immobiliser faults etc.
  10. Wiring I’d say. You changed your igniters for new?
  11. Flippin gay minidisc players...
  12. Yeah, pull the shroud back from the sensor and the cables with have colour codes, then look for the same colours at the ecu end and check for continuity. Saying that though if it’s intermittent you can’t guarantee a faulty reading, could do with a proper test point kit and then wiggle the loom about.
  13. Maybe the repair didn’t last? But I’d definitely be checking the wiring to the sensor from the ecu. As has been suggested.
  14. Saying that I’ve got a decent vac tester and diag machine at home that I’d probably use first if it’s raining.
