LCR feeling slow

[Stu_pot]

so why can't we source it ourselves? - surely it'd save us money?

If only that were the case, unfortunately the only part number listed on ETKA is the number on the MAF housing.

perhaps there is no individual part # for the sensor then

Lol, isn't that what I said?

Yeah sorry, posted without reading or thinking
I'm sure that it's not available elsewhere to keep us paying top dollar at main dealer

Nail and head

They don't call them stealers for nothing.

The truth of the matter is that they probably DID used to sell just the sensor but a lot got damaged in fitting so they made a corporate decision to supply sensor in housing only thereby eliminating club handed mechanics

Yes its definately traction control because when I'm accelerating out of a corner my car starts to go but then the traction control stops it for a second then lets me boost up and off I go.

To rule out traction issues, it might be worth turning the TCS off for your tests as I believe the N249 valve can open the DV as part of the TCS function.

I turned it off earlier tonight and had a little play and it did feel much better with traction control off but it spins like crazy all down the road haha but I can control that with the throttle

Once you've sorted the engine good tyres and uprated dogbone will be on your list...

 

[metroarmadillo]

Yea I think I'll just replace MAF sensor and then possibly give my throttle body a nice clean and see how it goes, hopefully should be running much better and smoother
I have relatively new tyres on there because I get them at cost price through work
What do you actually gain from doing the dogbone mount??

 

[lordgibbness]

The engine doesn't sway back and forth so much causing the wheels to lose traction with the road.

 

[metroarmadillo]

Oh I see thats definately a must then
