Jenk's purple mk2 track hack...Im sure it hates me

[suj]

mate i'm going to shed this min now to get you pics of the cat, sorry for delay!

 

[suj]

just had a look luke, no point taking a pic, as it was just black lol (so go onto paint and colour background black, that is what you got on mine lmao)

yours looks like its worn out mate, couldn't see nothing in mine!

 

[Fl@pper]

got a pic i can take of a brand new one if it helps

did you log/vag com the abs ? usually the wires that run above the rear box on the NSR as the heat kills em

*edit* here ya go

 

[suj]

Mine is very similar, but a bit of extra spider webs lmao

 

[Cupra Kid]

ABS loom!! Got some testing to do now, or see if I can get a new working one. Fingers crossed I can get it back in and working.

Rather you than me. My patience threshold would mean that the entire ABS system would be in the bin!

 

[jenk]

Cheers Fl@pper your a Gent as always, im still stumped on if mine is actually gone......it looks like there's two slithers of honey come in mine.

Suj, sorry about my lack of communication regarding the CAT mate. Im knee deep in dissertation at the moment, researching structural blocks made out of earth is eating all my time

The ABS is really pissing me off, there's a problem with the wire going to the rear right sensor. I think its at the main plug end hence pulling it all out so I can have a better go at it.

I keep thinking about just scrapping it, but all the time I've put into it would just be a waste.

 

[suj]

no problem mate, I understand, hope its going well, its just sitting in my shed anyways
let me know when you want it mate, always in from 6pm>
(most weekends in) is cov any closer? can take to work too

 

[jenk]

Cheers Bud, might have to pop round next week if I can find the time.

 

[suj]

No problem mate, oh yeah half day Friday

How are you gonna test the abs loom? Literally putting current through, testing the other sides?

 

[M1KEH]

Now you've pulled all the abs wiring you may as well just dump the lot I reckon. Would require sourcing a few parts from a non-abs car. But in the long run it will be better for a track car.

Donate it to me if ya gonna do that

I'll add it to my MK2 ibiza restoration list.

 

[jenk]

Yes Suj, will put my multi-meter on it while manipulating the wires. I know theres a break in the front right wire which I did a repair on but its the random intermitant rear right thats the 'B' word.

Would be interesting to see how much work is in removing the lot, i like the ABS but it would remove the head ache. I would need a non-ABS Ibiza with rear disks, did they even make one?

I have loads of interior bits taking up valuble garage space to donate, if you want them

Yes - mine! Pretty sure its just the plumbing thats different my rear brake set up is visually identical to a car with ABS.

What interior did the car have? Is it standard 8v GTi?

 

[suj]

thought so luke, would be good to see where the problem lies, please post up what happens

 

[gtikezz]

hows it going any luck yet mate ?

 

[jenk]

Sorry I didn't give you a reply Kezz, must have missed the notification.

Nothing much has changed due to lack of time, sadly its going to be like that for the next few months........I hate uni!

Big plus though.....

 

[Cupra Kid]

I bet the climb out was un dignified. Mines in very much the same position

 

[jenk]

Its not too bad, got quite a bit of room to open the passenger side door. It'l go in front ways when its sorted, I don't like the idea of fumes backing into the garage as its integral.

 

[Damoegan]

Not sure if I posted this for you mate, from Oulton Park last Feb..

 

[jenk]

Cheers Damien, think I seen the first one but not the second. I wish it was running so I could book up another day, it will be the end of the season by the time I have it out again
