HVAC clean
1 Attachment(s)
I removed the air conditioner controller
The inlet section was full of dust The unit pops out easily with the aid of a screw driver The little tabs holding it all together are opened very easily. The screen is easy to clean when it is all open like this. The buttons are also a lot easier to press now once cleaned |
Ediabas software watching the graphs
1 Attachment(s)
I have a copy of Ediabas and Inpa on a laptop.
The graph I liked the most was the cylinder balance graph. I watched the graphs, and the readings are a lot better after the repwirs to the inlet manifold. I replaced all the inlet manifold gaskets. I also did a clean up if the injectors, nothing special, just removed them, sprayed card cleaner into them and installed them again. I will see where the original graph is. The one I copied today looks a lot better and more even compared to the first time I recoreded the graph. I looked at the error codes. Seems the knock sensors are an issue The aux fan has been removed, so that error is there The mapping of thermostat is another fault shown Will have a look into that. |
LU meter before some repairs
1 Attachment(s)
I found the LU meter readings before I did the repairs.
A marked difference There must have been air leaks through the old gaskets And seems doing a basic clean of injectors might also have made a difference. So next on the engine is the O2 sensor. Both before the cats 1. O2 sensor. A pair. The readings using Inpa shows they as erratic |
Wasnt a busy weekend
Replaced the wind screen wipers. And ordered a new set of pixels for the dash Should be here later the week, then I see why it beeps at me. Fuel consumption has come down from 18ltr/100 to 15ltr/100 on the same roads. So doing the inlet gaskets made a big defference. The aux air fan that adds air to the exhaust on start up also works now. It didnt work until I replaced the inlet manifold gaskets. So a lot to be said for changing them. |
Just an update
New pixel screen for dash and radio have been shipped Should be here by the end of the week. Should be..... |

So after a beer it worked
3 Attachment(s)
Got home and unpacked all the bits
Pixelfix is the place I got it from. Nice colour pamphlets And screw driver etc. Took it all apart as per the instructions. Did the ribon cable once, tested, didnt work, Got a cold beer, had a quiet think and tried again. Success. Now I know why it beeps at me. List as follows. Brake lights Tail lights Brake linings Active suspension inactive. The suspension I know about, The rear lights is probabaly the bad connections Brake linings need to be replaced and the sensor replaced. So it was worth the effort. Photos show the before, during and after. |
