G'day,
My car has been suffering from a bit of neglect this last 2 years
with me migrating and renting for the last 2 years
. The last month or so when i start the car it takes 12-15 seconds for the oil pressure to shoot up to its usual 5 bar, i am sure it never took this long before
, when the car is left for a few hours at work it shoots up immediately, but overnight (12-14 hrs) the problem re-occurs.
I also have a few other issues such as it takes for ages to respond, i.e. when it starts i let it tick over untill oil pressure is up and had 5 secs to circulate, sometimes it labours at 400-500 revs until all of a sudden it jumps up to 900 ish (normal tick over.) When i squeeze the throttle be it very lightly or moderately, tickover drops to 400-500 and it slowly labours itself up from there. After 30 seconds of driving its fine, good stable tickover, 5 bar pressure.
I have just bought my first ozzie house with a wicked size workshop which i plan to put 2 small scissor lifts in (The small ones which sit one under each sill). I come home to UK for 4 weeks in 4 weeks, my missus is making a husband out of me and were getting married. (Plus having one week in New York on the way there and a week in Thailand on the way back). So when i get back here after my trip, i will be buying an engine stand and a few other bits and bobs, and would like to know if there is anyone in this part of the world who can map these cars? KarlBlueS2 isnt an S2 owner anymore, he has a WRX?? last i heard, he would have been the one to contact but i have lost his details.
Cheers
Graham
