They are dimmer in reality than they look on picture. Didn't notice any eye fatigue during night. ))

Isn't the blue tiring on longer drives at night?

First step to 044 upgrade.



I'm in the process of redesigning the PCV, initial mod builds too much pressure on idle, starts to leak oil. I'll describe the idea when finished.

Gauge madness has finished.


The narrowband has helped me to identify the idle 00561 fault code culprit - I have a leaky vacuum servo. Good thing TRW still produces these new.

Both issues might be related. Too much crank case pressure causes leaks and burning oil.

I'll start with an O-ring for the dipstick tube, which I do not have in place at the moment, and later I'll restore the OEM PCV system. I think I may have miscalculated the PCV mod...

No idea, I just bought set of o-rings and matched it.

Seems I wasn't looking hard enough. O-ring part number - N90461401.

[hunker7]

Thought so... Any part number for it?

Don't know about the second, but for the first there should be o ring

I'm facing 2 issues at the moment.

1. Oil leaking through the bottom of the dipstick. Is there an O-ring intended on the dipstick or not? I could not find anything via part catalogs. For now I have dipped it in black silicone gasket maker. The ******* leaks on the oil pan, which initially led me to beleive that oil pan gasket is bad.

2. The car occasionally smokes on idle when hot (90 deg). And smokes a lot I would say. Doesn't smoke while driving, or stops smoking after I give it a spin. Could it be because of the PCV?

Is that a proper wideband afr gauge? If not it's no real use.

It's a narrowband, I have a narrowband lambda, doubt that I can pair a WB AFR to it. And it's better than nothing.

In that case I need this gauge -



Maybe someone can help me find it? It was in stock at one of our local shops, but isn't anymore. I'd like to keep all gauges looking alike. It's an Autogauge Blue LED 52mm AFR. Maybe someone can source me one?

Ok, so the starting issues are fixed. Brand new Bosch Fuel Pressure Regulator solved it. Now starts very nicely.

Fuel Pressure gauge has found a way into my car! I'm actually very fond of the way I installed it. If not for the hose, looked like OEM. Everything fits nicely under the cap, which had to be cut a little, since the hollow bolt is longer.




Also got a set of very fine headlights, they are already on the car, didn't get the chance to take a pic. :/

AFR over EGT everytime imho.

Just sayin................

Always room for one more though.
