The real problem area from what I can gather is the -15% , that means it's taking 15% fuel out in that area and 15 is the maximum it can remove, so it is maxed out and it could maybe need to take more and can't, the other problem is, why is it needing to try and remove that much fuel, it could be the full tank of fuel and the walbro 255 that I'm not mapped for I suppose as that sent all my trims very negative after I fitted it -6/-8% across the board with the first trim being even lower down to -14 at times, the first one has always been the worst up until now, I've put a few city miles on it today and it's still maxed out at -15

This is what I got after a sustained 5 mile run at about 90mph (on a private road) mostly in negative boost, ran fine with no knock, slowed down, did about a minute of normal driving at about 30/40got -5 flkc and -4.20 fbkc pretty much immediately which knocked IAM down to .5 then straight back up to 1, pulled learning view up and saw this, remap booked for Friday so hope it's a mapping issue, anything to check for before I go ??

I think what tidge means (suggestion) is, if not already done, uprate the turbo 😋

Best left alone by the sounds of it mate, one thing I will say is when you test drive the car when it's all up to temp give it a little bit of beans through the gears with quickish gear changes at highish revs as that will highlight any problems with the synchros, had the problem of crunching into gear in 3rd in my blob on a quick gear change and I myself missed 4th just once in my hawk and now that will crunch if I try a quick change at high revs

Any update on this

So who is going from our club, and how do you go about getting your car/my car up at the club stand or is it full

I bought my blob from oop norf, so mine was rusted out too, went to a breakers yard, hack sawed one off and stitched it in, sprayed it and filled with waxoyl

@PazzaN96 The space in the car is surprising and is basically the Swiss-army-knife of the 4 wheel world... The boot is large enough for a good monthly shop or approximately 2 body bags depending on usage, there's plenty of leg room for the passengers, unless you're in my height bracket of around 6'4" in which case the only way someone is getting behind you is if they are absurdly skinny or have no legs ... LOLS ! 🔫🔪☠⚰

Welcome aboard 👍 Loves a wagon does me 😜

I should be coming to this, fingers crossed, wife has a little op in hospital on Wednesday, so if she's ok we should be attending 👍

If it defo burning rubber/maybe plastic smell I would look at what's in play when your driving then mate, your really gonna be looking at power steering belt or tyres rubbing on something I would have thought, maybe plastic engine undertray loose and getting pushed onto exhaust at speed, if it's defo defo rubber, I would think tyres or power steering belt as a start

Hello mate what about if you wait for the smell to go, then start the car and leave it running without driving it, does it smell then

How long have you had the car mate, how long has it been doing this, what did you do to the car prior to this 7psi thing happening, did you put anything new on it like an intake or anything, did you run it low on petrol while boosting, or did you run low octane fuel in it, what fuel do you use btw if your any good with a laptop, buy a vag-com cable and download romraider and all its defs and you can see what your cars up to at all times

The check engine light will illuminate and the computer will have set the code P0545. No other symptoms will be readily recognizable. Read more at: http://www.obd-codes.com/p0545 Copyright OBD-Codes.com just grabbed that off t'intanet as didn't know if that code could throw you into safe mode or not

Hi mate have you got any way at all of seeing what your DAM/IAM is sitting at because if your engine has detected a good amount of knock it can !Removed! timing and lower the dam/IAM far enough to for the car to go into a limp/safe mode and only run 7psi of boost which is standard waste gate pressure only omg I tried to say re-ta-rd timing and the blocker blocked it, overkill !!

I have only ever run v power, but my local garage was empty of v power yesterday so I went to tesco and put the momentum 99 in, 6 pence a litre cheaper, no more v power for me, and car runs lovely on the tesco gear

I'm interested in the back box if it will fit my hawkeye, so possibly between the 3 of us it could work out

And of course, these work trips at 80mph are all on private roads or abroad ..... 👍

Lol, you won't be the first or last mate, I did exactly the same thing with my first scoobyroo 👍

Can you post a pic of new back box ?

Bit of a treck mate 👍 , only 10 mins up the road from me is "little Poland" 😜 Bognor

you really need another engine ? Mine has all those parts new, I've replaced loads of stuff due to the mileage being just over 100k and trying to get rid of some of its little issues lol, I think it either the map now or ringlands, it does use a bit of oil but the bores are pretty glazed tbh, judging the owner from new on the paperwork I have I would say it got babied on the break in period tbh, anyway we will see conpression and leak down tests as follows

Hmmm I have problems then :-/ welcome sarahay 👍

It has a back box, panel filter, walbro 255 and silicone intake pipe, but it has already been remapped by a London company apparently just over 32k ago at 69k when totally standard I presume as that's how I got it , I have a tatty receipt and it has some driveability issues coming on boost sometimes and it's up and down on power a bit when it feels like it, and also the fuel trims in learning view are really negative, so I thought a trip to the mapper will be best

Booked the car in with Duncan at racedynamix at Surrey rolling road on 5th august hopefully to iron out the niggles (long as there isn't anything nasty goin on like ringland issues) fingers crossed, all excited I am so thought I would share it with you crazy gringos :) i will end up mapped or being told I need another engine lol
