crashbanggg Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 I'm starting to think I should be doing more substantial preparation for this track day other than just praying I don't break down beforehand or on the day!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pashley26 Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 Changed the turbo exhaust gaskets last night, the downpipe gasket was leaking and I was pretty certain the manifold to turbo gasket was a cheapie one. The only gaskets were shitty multi layer ones, and both were f**ked. Totally. The manifold to turbo gasket must have been leaking quite badly, because the car feels SO much nicer now. Much smoother. It used to cut out if you rev'd and built up boost then took your foot off the throttle it wouldn't idle and it would just die. I'm not sure how changing the gaskets could have fixed this, so I'm going to opt for coincidence but it is idling perfect every time now. Excuse the rattliness, it is a 1.8t after all haha. I bet all you K04 1.8t boys wish it was this easy to get to the turbo on your cars 20 minute job max to change both gaskets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg1040 Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 (edited) Got car home finally last night pics to come this weekend once i get it all tidied up a bit. BUT need some help. Indicators no longer work where would i be best starting to look for the issue wiring or fuse box? Also my car alarm no longer makes a noise but when its going off i can hear the box ticking away ( viper alarm and imobiliser) car opens and locks no problem used to make 2 bleep noises when locking and opening this no longer happens either? I want to say these issues happened after battery went completely dead not even alarm light was flashing in the car with it sitting for so long? Or maby a wire i havent re conected after having to disconnect everything for the dash to come out i cant really remeber lol but i think alarm stop making noise after battery went completely dead. A little advice on where to start would be great. Possible all issues are connected? Seen as how the indicator lights used to flash when opening and locking car?

AdamR28 Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 Have a Google for 'relays *insert make and model of car here*', should bring up where they are located. You need a 12v supply and some wires to test a relay, Google for 'testing a relay'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pashley26 Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 (edited) To be fair, this sounds horrible but I don't mean it that way... If I have to tell you how to test a relay, you probably won't be able to do it and have the right bits to test it. I'd just fire in a new indicator relay and cross your fingers. Do the hazards still work? Edited February 25, 2015 by Pashley26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadManMike Posted February 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 We've all gotta learn somewhere Two years ago I was useless with cars, now I'm fairly confident - changed all the brakes on mine, done plenty of other little bits too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

george_seamons Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 CBA to go back and dig through all your posts, but most of your stuff was done by Phil or Prawn in the past...that was more what I was talking about. With regards to the lack of indicators and alarm, I would take an educated guess that it is a fuse or power supply shared by both the alarm and indicator circuits (if it is, thats a proper pikey way of doing it!). As Jardo asked, do the hazards still work? What car is it? On a lot of cars, the hazard switch is the indicator switch. Don't just go chucking parts at it willy nilly, it will cost you a fortune...

greg1040 Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 Car currently stil stands at this stage with no dash in it. The car is a import integra type r. With a converted s2000 dash and engine swap so wirings a bit messy to say the least haha. Hazzard switch is no longer connected to the car? I have 2 wirring looms at home which i thought were just the radio maby i am still missing a wire somewhere? I can hear the viper box working when car alarm is going off just no noise? I will try and get some closer pics of car tonight. Oh and another thing when i put my lights on and turn ignition off and pull key out engine keeps on running till i turn the lights off? Everything worked perfect untill i disconnected all my wiring for dash removel now its a pain to sort it back out. But no offence taking jardo just wasnt sure how to test a relay out and i have no electrical tools so your correct that i wouldnt be able to do that on my own.

george_seamons Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 Yeah, I would agree, something is very wrong for the engine to be doing that! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pashley26 Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 (edited) Electrical testing requires a few little tools and bodges, it wasn't that you weren't capable of doing it but more than if you don't know how to do it you've probably never done it so potentially wouldn't have the electrical testers required. I can't help when it comes to wiring, my wiring knowledge is limited to 60's cars which have 10 wire looms haha.

Tom Booth Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 Didn't you just do a load of welding on that Teg? If so did you disconnect the battery? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
