I have been driving like this for like 10K kilometers now . As i said i prefer less pressure in the cooling system. I didnt say no pressure i say less pressure. Plain water at 1.1bar has the same boiling temperature as 60% antifreeze at 0.6bar, so running good coolant at lower pressure does not...

I dont think 700ma is that much, but for this car it could be. I never measured mine tho, but I simply think he searches for something that is not there. Also i am wondering how he put the car to sleep and then setup the measurement.

If the car is too rich, means that the pressure is most likely indeed too high, and even with trim down to -25% the car still throws too much fuel, this is the reason for the O2 errors. You can ignore those for now and concentrate on the high pressure issue. If you solve that, the others will...

700ma is pretty much normal consumption. You may have a problem with the battery not a parasitic draw. 700ma is basically ~8w idle consumption nothing to worry about.

The threads on the non OEM bottles are not good. I had to disassemble the cap that i was using prior to changing the bottle in order to get the weaker spring form there. Then i put that one on the cap that the bottle came with. The other caps simply dont want to seal on this bottle, but thats...

Actually it should bleed itself if you keep the bottle full and do a few cold hot cycles. Make sure you open the heater, while driving. Even if you dont bleed it fully filling the bottle and the radiator should be enough. The leftover air in the system should fully move to the bottle after one...

So finally my coolant tank cracked. Good thing i noticed the coolant slowly started disappearing, i was planning to move to G12 coolant anyway , so i was basically somehow ready for this. Got a spare tank last year altho its not OEM, but i hope it will last a few years. In short i replaced the...

The APK is available on their website. You can download it there and install it - link below. I suppose you need the google play version. Support Request

No the car will not go into limp mode as long as the front two O2 sensors are in place . They are responsible for the fueling the rear ones are only for emission warning, so you can run it without catalytic converter with CEL warning about "catalyst efficiency low" or whatever is the warning for...

Just replying to this thread with some additional info as i had this problem for a while and finally got the time to remove the shifter. The micro switch in the shifter is repairable. Its a very simple mechanism that can be disassembled. It works fine mechanically , but the voltage is not...

Issue is solved, ended up being the lower valve. I didn't see the oil , because it was too little, but after using the UV lamp i noticed the leak. New schrader valve and some refrigerant and she is cold as ice :)

Hijacking the thread here. In short i have a leak somewhere the systems seems to be low on refrigerant. I can hear whistling in the system , when i start the AC , but i want to try to fix the leak before filling the system again. I had one big leak as it was also oily, on the back of the...

Got into trouble with some angry police officers here where i live. In EU the side markers need to blink yellow not red. My car is 2000 and is blinking red in the back. I have no options i need to convert to pass the inspection to get the car officially back on road. I see the tail light on the...

The damage to the cap itself and the cam, if only a few grooves is usually not a problem. The load on the camshafts is virtually nothing compared to the load on the crankshaft.There are no forces acting on the cams except the lobes hitting the valves, so the force acting on the journals is...

After owning the car for a while i am positive i will keep it, so i decided to take care of the chassis to make sure it will serve me a long time . First two pictures are before the treatment after the wash. The last two are after the car was treated.
