MG ZR: Cams & Maps

[lolsteve]

Been doing some reading for you Steve cos I'm nice like that and it appears that the VVC system doesn't work unless the oil is up to temperature. As such do you know where the oil temp sensor is, is it working, have you checked live data from it etc?

Cheers man, found this online

VVC Failure Modes

ECT Sensor low/error limits to 6K RPM

MAP Sensor error limits to 6K RPM

VVC Oil Temp Sensor low/error limits to 6K RPM

VVC Solenoid low resistance (should be 6.6 to 8.8 Ohms) limits to 5.5K RPM

ECU VVC control circuit fried (from wrong battery polarity) limits to 5.5K RPM

Cam Position Sensor limits to 5.5K RPM (The VVC CPS is NSC000010 variable reluctance, different to the standard K16 Hall effect)

Sadly I'm not getting any rpm limitations :/

see that brass like thing in the middle?, that was damaged on mine.

Damn that's pricey, hoping it's not that then since have seen many vvc's in scrapys
also is the rocket cover gasket reusable? I hear its metal and provided its in good nick can be used again. Just want to know before I dissemble the top and find the gasket is no good to put back on
