Ash3000k Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Morning all, Yet another question! ^_^ When I'm turning around a tight bend, the steering wheel pulses, Hard to describe but it almost feels like its pulling against my input a little... Any ideas or is this normal? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Will probably be the power steering shouldn't be anything to worry about,i'd check the fluid levels 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash3000k Posted June 9, 2015 Author Share Posted June 9, 2015 Also, how do you perform a full de-charge of the car? (to make ecu learn fuel etc again) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xander Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Also, how do you perform a full de-charge of the car? (to make ecu learn fuel etc again) Think most people will disconnect the Battery and then press the break peddle until the lights dont come on anymore the leave it for a while before reconnecting the Battery. There is another way but sure this was more complicated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmymac101 Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Best way is to reset the ECU .... Unplug Battery and then unplug the ecu ( deletes any errors ) and then the ecu will help the car run more efficiently because it's not fighting error codes :) James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmymac101 Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Ohh and leave unpluged for 5-10 mins !! James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quit Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 dont think the ECUs are self learning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmymac101 Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 ECU's are not self learning but when its clogged with error codes it can effect how efficient the car runs as its compensating for the error codes it thinks its may have or had! Hope that makes sense James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash3000k Posted June 10, 2015 Author Share Posted June 10, 2015 I heard that you should reset your ecu if you have been using crap fuel so it re-learns the better fuel when you put v-power in.... so thats not true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quit Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 doesnt sound that true to be honest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmymac101 Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 cant personally see that being true........ REMAP time ;) james Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 The theory is if you use lower octane rated fuel the timing will !Removed! for safe running, if you put vpower in and reset the ecu the car will 'relearn' the fuel octane and advance the timing to where it and the info from the knock sensor etc feel it should be, it will of course learn it if you don't do a reset but resetting the ecu will do it faster and you will get the benefit of the 50 quids worth of fuel you just put in from the get go Sent from my SM-G850F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stants Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 There's no evidence that it actually works as the car will Need to be driven around 100 miles, Sent from my SM-G850F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
