Ok mate thank you, it shouldn't be anything major as the car drives perfect. Hopefully it is something to do with disconnecting the battery and will sort itself out :/ I the meantime I will keep an ear out for answers. Thanks for all your help.

It's more like a relay click g noise and very rapid too and the tee piece was replaced yesterday

It's like an electrical clicking noise. Not misfiring at all

Ok mate, well u reconnected it and went for a 5 min drive and it was doing it when I come back?

Yeh mate I will do thanks, just one last question, when j reconnected the battery I can hear a clicking noise inside the car?

Hi, thanks for your help I have now reconnected the battery and it's fine but I will change the pipework to the original for good measure. Thanks again

Ok mate thanks, I will leave the battery si a connected, does it matter if I leave it overnight? And if this does not fox the problem I know someone who owns a garage and will plug it in for me.

Thanks mate, I have been impatient and disco nested the battery now so hopefully will find out in about 20 mins or so, no the garage did not plug the car in so no ecu reset mate. I changed the spark plugs about 3 months ago and was advised from eurocarparts that the gap is preset so just put them straight in and it was fine?

Hi savage, thanks for the suggestion mate, no o have not tried a ecu reset but I will give it a go 1st thing and hopefully this fixes the problem otherwise it will be the spark plugs and coil packs which will need checking. Thanks again I will let you know tomorrow how it goes

Sorry for the bad grammar, im using a mobile and it keeps auto correcting.

Update...so I went to the garage today and got the maf and knock sensor replaced and still no changed then noticed that the tee piece between the turbo, solenoid and actuator had melted so though thus was the problem buy when replacing it the garage do not have the correct pipes fir the tee piece so it's now repaired with reducers all over the place and still feels like it hesitates :(

Thanks for the advice, the plugs were done a couple of months ago and it was running fine then bug I will double check them just incase. Thank you

Thanks for the welcome, no news yet, I am getting it looked at on Saturday

Thank you very much for your help, im taking it to a garage on saturday to get it tested and he thinks it will be the knock sensor so hopefully this will resolve it. I will keep you updated

Hi, thanks for the replies, I have had the car for about 5 months now and since I have had it I have used 99 Ron unless on the rare occasion where the petrol station has run out and I have had to put a bit of standard petrol in. Sorry for the silly question but can I test if it's the coils/lead breakdown? Thanks

Hi mate, thanks for the reply, I did double check this and it seems fine, don't really know what else it could be?

Hi mate, it's a 2001 bugeye, I have checked the plugs and maf sensor and they fine, when j first got the car it had a manual boost controller on so I reconnected it tk the electronic boost controller and put in a restrictor pill so may need to check the pipes where the restrictor pill is located. If the pipe is split would this cause the same problem (air leakage)? Thanks and sorry for rambling

I have asked this question on the forum already but j don't think j put it in the right category so here goes, since I changed the oil and fuel filters on my car yesterday and replaced the rear suspension i have had trouble between 4 - 6k, the car dives fine normally but when I put my foot down it feels like the car is hesitating and it keeps backfiring between these revs even whilst driving. Any help is appreciated.

Hi, please help, since I changed the oil and fuel filters on my car yesterday and replaced the rear suspension i have had trouble between 4 - 6k, the car dives fine normally but when I put my foot down it feels like the car is hesitating and it keeps backfiring between these revs even whilst driving. Any help is appreciated.

Hi, thank you for all your help, it's now running great, the manual boost controller is fitted but it's turned right down so only boosting to about 1.1-1.2 bar.

Thanks mate, it has td05 turbo, front mount intercooler, induction kit, super chip, uprated throttle body and am uprated fuel pump but that's it, where would it leak from?

Lol, thanks for the reply mate& this is my first impreza so still learning, I would leave it off but it was originally fitted and was running around 1.5 bar and went like a bat out of hell but I though it was dangerous running 1.5 bar so took it tk a friend who has an impreza and they said you can remove it but now it is dirt slow and runs about 0.5 bar lol and it now runs lumpy as if it was misfiring?

Hi, please can some one tell me in very simple terms how to fir a manual boost controller?

Hi, just to let you know, the boost problem is not Le sorted just refitted the manual boost controller and was able to turn it down but since doing this and using new fuel the car seems to run very sluggish almost as if it want to stall? Any suggestions?

Hi, thank you for your help, I have now uploaded some pictures of the engine and some of the car. I hope this helps explain my question better and the bonnet is open because I was taking photos of engine and disconnecting battery, so the battery reason leads me to another question (really sorry for being such an amateur) the previous owner used standard fuel in the car and I have been advised to use ultimate fuel or v power so when the fuel light came on I filled up with tesco ultimate and the car started to feel very sluggish the next day so I done a bit of research and someone said that when you use a certain fuel over a certain period the ecu will set the engine up to take the fuel and that when you change the fuel the ecu will need to relearn the fuel mixture and adjust the engine accordingly and the best way to assist this is to disconnect the battery to reset the ecu. Is this right or have I been lead astray and am now sounding like a right silly bugger? Sorry for all of the questions and I am very great fun for all the help. Thanks
