That sump plug is mullered, i've gotta have an oil change done in approx 400miles (5000 mile quota) so will look into getting one of them valve's as well.

Another busy day today

New oil filter and plug washer arrived from VAG part, so set to filling her back up with oil refitted samcos and new 8mm re-enforced hose to wgfv.
wgfv was never in the right place when I got the car so tried it in with the coil
uppermost but it was very close to the EM so I turned it upside down so the plug was pointing away from the EM. not sure if thats right but the hoses are in the correct place.
Removed the injectors and tried to crank the engine but no joy
Found the starter solenoid connection was pulled off Doh!
Got it reconnected and cranked the engine till I got the oil pumping through the turbo.
Fired her up and checked for leaks topped up oil and coolant.

took her out but only running on 5psi mech boost
but I have just installed the mil circuit so tried it out and found the code 4431 idle stab valve gammy?
checked the wiring and went to the fuses found out my fuse holder 26 must be missing popped out the fuse board and found holder 26
dangling inside the harness with a blown fuse was hoping I had cleared the fault before as the wgfv was grounded to earth
popped in a fuse reset the ecu fault gone!
im still grinning yet got 12psi
whoo hoo thanks for all your input guys

What will be next?

[sjw185]

check oot my birthday prezzy from the wife! (subsidised with s2 slush fund)
got it fitted in yesterday, was hoping it would cure a stalling issue ive been having but its still there. Have got some vac hoses to fit next to see if that helps.

[Greg_S]

you def have an understanding wife

[sjw185]

Got the s2 on the rollers today, couldnt get any photos as the car was closed in the booth for noise and health and safety
Happy with the results though the guy said it seemed to be running a bit rich

All the RR sessions I've ever been to they ALWAYS say cars are running rich, even those with apparently perfect graphs , sometimes I think it's just so they have something to say at the end of a run

[Greg_S]

SJW185, feel free to upload the RR Plots into the RR section of the gallery with some details of the cars spec

[sjw185]

cheers for that didint realise there was a section for it!
thought there would be more RR plots though there is only 6.

[sjw185]

I need help! I can stop buying bits for the S2 :mischeif:
Heres a picture of the latest parts
Came home from 3weeks offshore to find my footwellls swimming with water
sure its the windscreen?!?! going to whip off the side covers for a look underneath.

[Acidburn]

Same colour callipers as mine

Is that a set of s2_bo plasma dials?

Is it both sides of the footwells that are soaked?

[sjw185]

yea got the plasma dials from a fellow forum member
Both foot wells are soaked but the passenger side is the worst.
Went through history and its had a new windscreen 3 years ago think its not sealed right?
Just need some time to get inabout.

cheers

Steve,

I think when I saw your car at Glasgow Audi the windscreen rubber seal was underneath the scuttle plastic cover on the passenger side, the lip of the seal should ly on top of the plastic cover , you get it a lot when people change their pollen filter or have been playing with wiper motor etc ands put it back together wrong , cause th seal is a real pain to fish out from under the plastic, worth checking anyway for the passenger side leak, if you search around you'll find the usual suspect for the driver side could be the bulkhead grommet for bonnet release cable..


HTH

[sjw185]

cheers Eric,

will check that oot tomorrow there seems to be alot less water in the drivers side so the gommit might be the suspect.
