Glad to hear that you replaced your mirror, i didnt imagine that it would of been so difficult/expensive just to get a mirror. Only thing is that its designed for LHD, does that make any difference?

will post tomoro, after i go on the road and see for myself

mirror is good
same angle as OEM, no difference

and like i said before, i kno the original had to be convex and not flat.
flat mirrors on the drivers side, although it was an industry standard, increases the blind spot, years ago they started creating both the passenger and drivers side mirrors convex for wide angle. i am not regretting this purchase, the view is back to what my eyes and mind was accustommed to without having to ponder over it.

Its time for the CS3 to get a body upgrade. Mr. Green

i dont have problem at Peake an I drive GDI

I serviced it this weekend....blocked off that EGR valve with a plate we dont have emmission laws here, that thing was sending thick clumps of Carbon into the head told the damn mech to block it off when he was installing this engine man did not listen.

Injectors was covered with the same thick carbon deposits that i found in the EGR port. I also removed the hot water lines from the throttle body.....we dont have winter here so why keep it there

Well Idleing smooth again and my great gas milage is greater again

no one interfered, put in the gas, next morning left the car idling for 10mins
noticed it cut off, hasnt started since.

ecu supposedly good, if not i have another one
check light not coming on, not even when it was idling.
cant get the check light on now coz the engine not turning over.

but i agree it has to scan and its going to.
all those parts u called out i have as spares.

gonna keep u informed coz u gonna have more knowledge in this than me

venum · Posted: Wed Jul 22, 2009 8:48 pm Post subject:

That is really messed up idle

Do u think it is coincidence that this happen soon after you put bad gas Question

As we discussed, it sounds like fuel or air starvation

What did the scan turn up Question

keep us posted

I tired tell yuh, pay the $200.00 in the guest house and stop blighting the car, it does co$t yuh more in the long run

see not one thing wrong with GDI..........the man just never did a engine wash

idlemind · Posted: Thu Jul 23, 2009 8:14 am Post subject:

Not out of the woods yet guys. Leaking gas like crazy. Need to change those o rings the the lines going to the engine pump.

and as faith would have it, i need to remove the manifold to get to them. Wish me luck.

xtech · Posted: Thu Jul 23, 2009 8:17 am Post subject:

i did the same thing
first time i took them out i forgot to grease them when putting them back in

idlemind · Posted: Thu Jul 23, 2009 9:27 am Post subject:

cant do an engine wash x, the clips on some of my connectors are broken
if i engine wash im going to have to manually clean out all of them.

the shitty thing with getting to those fuel lines is its already practically completely out, cept for a lil room where its pressing on the manifold.

the only way to get to it is to remove the manifold. and removing this requires, unbolting below and the TB, plus disconnecting a few wires.

steupss i aint looking forward to that nuh.

right now i have the o rings from the old engine soaking in some gas to use back those. the gasline o ring i have to purchase, also some grey silicone, and some sewing machine oil to help ease it in...and the good ole electrical contact spray.
