It's been a little while but six months on and it's time to get Pedro back out to play again
Opening my garage for the first time in months this morning and still just as I left it back in September
After removing the covers I checked all levels which haven't changed a drop and was looking forward to starting it back up again in preparation for taking it back over to Badger5 next weekend, only to be greeted with a completely flat battery.
Hopefully get this sorted over the next couple of days so I can check everything fires up OK and get some fresh tax on Thursday, ready for my trip to Bill next weekend for the following:
- Replace Devil's Own WMI kit with AEM kit and solenoid to prevent any leaks when the engine is off
- Replace Forge UNOS MBC for E-Boost Street EBC
- Tweak existing remap to accommodate for the 1.9 rebuild, and override lambda sensor
- See what she can do on the rollers
I've been getting continual codes for my lambda for some time now which seems to be contributing to frequent stalling when pulling up to a standstill at junctions/lights and running very rich, with +25% fuel trims being seen. Bill has seen this on another
Ibiza but it remains a mystery as to what might be causing it, after replacing the sensor with a brand new OEM lambda as well as all wiring back to the ECU. It might just be that the resistors uses for the N249 bypass etc have interfered somewhere, causing weird behaviour, who knows.
This is what I was seeing last year:
Code:
VAG-COM Version: Release 409.1-S
Control Module Part Number: 6K0 906 032 AA
Component and/or Version: 1.8L 20VT EU3 05 0002
Software Coding: 10500
Work Shop Code: WSC 12849
3 Faults Found:
16514 - Oxygen (Lambda) Sensor B1 S1: Malfunction in Circuit
P0130 - 35-10 - - - Intermittent
17536 - Fuel Trim: Bank 1 (Mult): System too Lean
P1128 - 35-00 - -
17522 - Oxygen (Lambda) Sensor: B1 S2: Internal Resistance too High
P1114 - 35-10 - - - Intermittent
MAF has also been changed for a new OE unit.
Once this is sorted and back from Bill it's then over to my trusty tech Dale to sort the following little issues to get her running 100% for 2012 and ready to enjoy properly:
1. Fit new rear pads/discs
2. Paint rear calipers black
3. Fit correct OE fuel pump sender onto my LCR pump
4. Fit new external temp sensor on wing mirror
5. Uprate in-line fuse to battery
6. Replace front pads and skim discs
7. Refurb Compomotive MOs in anthracite and fit with summer tyres
Further updates to follow in due course
