The reason I asked is because I'm on the third of those now. Each one has made a difference to the engine's feeling. First one wore out out - got dead spots. On the second one, the engine felt hesitating but without flat spots. Now on the third one it pulls right, but got lumpy at idle... And its li...

I recently fitted a new belt as well - also tightening it until it didnt slap the cover. Normally, I used the rear spanner most as just a guidance for the belt, but this time I played with the tightening of it. And it seems that loads of torque can be had, if you tighten the spanner at the rear most...

Funny you should say that. Last time I think I got the timing just right - I never had so much low end power, while still going nuts above 5k rpm. Its in fact the most picky engine I ever come across!

Erm, yes it does seem rather rougher than usual.

That said, oh hang on, your car is catted right?
So it's the DFW engine?

Yes it is the DFW.

To all others - thanks for your suggestions. I'll look for it all tomorrow.

- BTW theres no fault codes.

I was wondering if all valvers are idling as rough as mine? It has no performance mods except for a cone filter and polished manifold. Heres a small video. Its warm and just stopped after a longer ride, then restarted:

Interesting. I think my front pipe is an original oem, because it has lasted for the 6½ years i got the car and its also got the long split. Thats why when the original cat were worn out, I reused the downpipe, welded a pipe on for a couple of months until I could afford a replacement one, which I w...

I hear you guys - but if I one day get the oppertunity, I will take pictures of the situation here in denmark. It seems we get some very different qualities across the world... :? Are you runninf a cat though? Cheers Luke Yes I am - for now at least. It just passed MOT today( :D ), but the cat's in...

Did anyone ever find a way to replace the "flap-meter" with a sensor? Like a converter board to pass on the right signals to the ECU?

Reviving an old thread, I know - But its my video. Not completely my car in all the clips (the 0-100 part is another danish member of http://bxclub.dk ). But now you know

Hi guys. Well I have the opposite opinion on Bosal exhausts. I had one on my valver - and not only did it rust pretty quick (two years and replacement needed), it also held back the engines power because of the stretched bendings that varied in diameter all the way. I cannot say for the front pipe, ...
