Dum-Dum's Black Rallye

[bashbarnard]

Good to see youve got it moted man. Always wanted a raylle!

[Dum-Dum]

Nice progress dude.

Not to be a party pooper, but isn't it a bit silly to fit new discs and pads, to just leave it sitting for a month or two again?

Cheers mate, It would of been silly and to MOT it without being about to drive it but as I'm now using it it shant be a problem. I wish I'd of gone for some low dust pads though as in 2 days my front wheels look anthracite.

looks goood chris, i'm starting to think i need moar power in my life soon, gonna save a bit and look seriously in the new year, seeing stuff like this just makes me want....so bad

Cheers mate, more power is definitely fun but its the noise of this that make it fast, It absolutely encourages you to keep your foot flat down and redline every gear till you have to lift to brake for a corner. I don't actually think its any faster than the 2.1TD

Good to see youve got it moted man. Always wanted a raylle!

I always wanted one so I bought one LOL

Looking tidy

Hands down my 1.9 DT (td04) is quicker than my 205 gti 6

But there's more fun driving a petrol for the bwarp noises

[Piggy]

Good lad for getting this on the road at last

[Grant]

Fair enough mate.

Will it be making an appearance this weekend?

[Piggy]

Bring it to the RR on the 19th bud!!! Lets see what she makes or are you chicken?!

Something seriously wrong with that 205 then dude! Power too weight alone means your DT would have to be well upwards of 200bhp to compare too a 205 gti6?

Great progress on the car Chris glad to hear of a successful MOT, always a great feeling

Anything wrong with those drilled and grooved discs dude? if theyre for sale i may be interwested!

Yeah totally worth it for the noise.

I take it you mean at the PFC expo and the answer is no, I'm working, I didn't fancy taking it off and TBH I think it could be a bit shit.

I will if people buy some more parts off me as its the day before pay day so I'll be skint.

Cheers mate.

Nothing wrong with them apart from some pretty substantial surface rust. You can have them for a mars bar as they are just sitting in the scrap pile.

Consider them sold my man its only too experiment with!

[Dum-Dum]

Cool, now if only someone would buy some more parts I'd come to the rr meet with them

[Eeyore]

Good to see that this has finally got a move on!

[Matt-Rallye]

Need to focus on your advertising dude

Please come to the RR though! Got 2 black rallyes for definite already

[Dum-Dum]

So the rallye has being soldiering on lately. After the MOT she decided that she was going to be a bitch and start playing about. So below 3500 rpm at light to medium loads the it just refuses to accelerate sometimes no matter how hard you press the throttle but if you let off and put back on again it goes till the next time. It is making the car almost undriveable round town.

I'm confident that it is either the green temp sensor which I have on order or the TPS that I have a couple of spares of knocking about.

Drove her down to Sian's to fix her car and lost a pad coming off the motorway. Sadly didnt brake again till about 5 miles later on a country road and that was a bit hairy. Needed a new pad, slider and clips.

Then that evening I popped over to Cully to eat his cake for him and actually took a photo.

Then since I've been back I've been clearing out some scrap and the rallye has been earning her keep.

[cully]

when he says he eat my cake the bastard had a bigger bit than me!

nice to see you again chris

[Piggy]

So your "lightweight" rallye is only 60kg lighter than my heavyweight GTD!

Allow for driver weight difference....be about the same

[Dum-Dum]

Cully yeah it needs to be more often.

Piggy yeah it was actually flickering between 1100 and 1120 and although it was only on half a tank I did have tools oil and coolant in the footwell

[Paul_13]

Could also be the maf sensor mate causing those problems

[Sian]

It drives lovely though

Stole it to go to the school

Nice to see you getting out in this

Will I be seeing you tomorrow..

[Dum-Dum]

Someone really has spent some money on this in the past. Keep finding more mods, it's got a big ported throttle body! Shame they siliconed it to the manifold LOL.

I replaced the green coolant sensor, inlet manifold gasket and spark plugs but it's still being a bitch. MAP sensor next then TPS and see if there is any improvement.

[Piggy]

Get it sorted!!!

And fyi I had half a tank of fuel, tools and a 20kg sub in the boot
And i got two more doors

[Niall]

Instead of just changing parts and aimlessly guessing at the fault until it fixes its self, why not diagnose it properly?

God and i thought you were a professional mechanic

[Dum-Dum]

I don't have pug planet and I have known working sensors here. Changing things one at a time is diagnosing the fault.

[Piggy]

Surely you can find the sensor readings though and use a multimeter to test them?

[ozonehostile]

Change of subject, how're you liking being back on the correct fuel dum?

[mr_fish]

Debatable

You've obviously never seen where a GTi6 TPS is, there is no way I'm getting in to test that.

Erm, skint. Because of the car being such a pain in the arse I'm not entirely in love with it yet. When it was working I loved it but she needs to behave herself for a while and I need a better exhaust on there.

[Matt-Rallye]

In what way is it not behaving?

Edit: just read the problem. My bet is on lambda sensor as thats what ultimately controls the fuelling but it could be MAF sensor also.

Also noticed: get some car mats you pikey!!

[Dum-Dum]

Why do people keep saying MAF!!! The GTi6/Rallye doesnt have a f*cking MAF!!!!

Just tried to swap the MAP sensor and it turns out the 2 others I have are both the wrong plug type. Arse!

I strongly doubt its the lambda as when I picked the car up it didn't even have the lambda plugged in and it ran fine but I'm going to change it when a de-cat goes on anyway. I suppose I could run it without the lambda again and see if that works. I have tried to test it and I don't think my cheap ass multimeter is fast enough to read the fluctuations but its saying about 0.6v.

[powerandtorque]

Just unplug the TPS and drive to see if that's the issue - I doubt it given the symptoms though, but quickly and easily proved.

The ECU compensates very well to the TPS being unplugged, to the point I didn't realise I'd left mine unplugged on my 205 GTi-6 for a few days! You can test to see if a few other sensors are the issue by unplugging them one at a time and forcing the ECU to revert to a set of default values, in much the same way as people do for the MAF on a HDi when they're playing silly buggers.

Faulty MAP sensor would be my guess if it does it from cold (as the lambda won't do anything until the engine warms up)
