CurtisRider Posted April 18, 2015 Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 Pulse width modulation circuit (PWM), allows infinitely variable motor speed. Getting a fan resistor for my car is silly money and these are £14 so it seemed silly not to install one as it wasn't much extra work. Unfortunately my previous one wasn't man enough and kept cutting in and out as it overheated so I went for a higher amperage one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolfa Posted April 18, 2015 Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 For the blowers or the rad fan? I can't imagine needing that much adjustment on either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CurtisRider Posted April 18, 2015 Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 I said infinitely variable, not infinite speed I don't need that much adjustment no, but £14 vs £85 seemed like a no brainer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolfa Posted April 18, 2015 Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 On or off is good enough for me, or even just off in the case of several of my cars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurtisRider Posted April 18, 2015 Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 Just installed it, my fan is no longer lethargic Infact it has never been this good! I could go with a simple on and off, but sometimes I like to spice things up a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pashley26 Posted April 18, 2015 Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 On or off is good enough for me, or even just off in the case of several of my cars I don't know if you've had the same as me. But all of my Golf fans have squeaked unless they've been on 3. I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted April 18, 2015 Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 Well, logs pending I think I've finally removed the last of that bloody box, though it may have involved a bit of rewiring at the ECU so if I have screwed it up I'm in trouble However, got a little keen tightening up my wipers and sheared the shaft they sit on. Bollocks. Hoping that I can repair it but may need to replace the lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash-Kennard Posted April 18, 2015 Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 About as car related as I will be this weekend. Sorting out Ferodo pads and EBC discs. trying to get them at abit of a discount as £704.44 delivered is making me wince. I know what I want, just looking for best price. So far that is demontweeks. I have also just installed brand new jacking and towing eye covers. Yay, car now has all it's trim. Next will be full exhaust setup and TIP then straight to stage 2 where it will stay for quite some time. Also Luke, fair play for the persistence with this power issue. Wish I had the time to tinker as much as you have, I bet you have learnt a shit load. I would be getting to the point of using a specialist soon too. Kinda jealous you are progressing so much quicker than me Jardo, I actually quite like the job you have done on the sun roof, definite function over fashion statement. Like it. I personally would have tried slotting it under the roof skin and blending it in. but if you wanted it looking rough and ready. Good job. Also loving the Corbeau seats! £300 for a pair is a proper bargin! Are they FIA approved? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted April 18, 2015 Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 Did a few jobs to Boris today. Removed the stiff shift kit to replace some parts as i'm getting some f**king AWFUL gearstick wobble when in gear left and right. Guy sent me a load of spare parts from Hungary for free the lad but hasn't even fixed the issue Thinking it's something more severe ie gearbox related gay gayy gayyyyyyyyyyyy!! Changed the gearbox oil to some gorgeous lovely ELF shizzle. Lowered it more at the rear. Noticed the wheel was wobbling on the nearside up front, rocking the wheel 12.30, 3:45 etc wobbled so tightened it up using torque wrench to the correct setting but still, why would it come loose? Why? Then cleaned it and took three photos from the same place just at difference angles for TF's pleasure xx Tomorrow i'm tempted to fill her up and go enjoy some gorgeous roads by myself if the weather is decent.

Pashley26 Posted April 18, 2015 Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 Going to the workshop tomorrow to fit the new engine mounts and change the CV joints. I am expecting a huge improvement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted April 18, 2015 Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 Then you and Dann would be considerably out of pocket. Car is entirely sorted and absolutely spot on motherf**kers Finally managed to chase the last wire back to the ECU, pulled it all out and de/rewired it and it's now perfect! Back to improvements again... That price is a proper sting on the brakes, Ash. Rather you than me that's for sure! Plans sound good though. I need to chuck on a FMIC and exhaust then it's time for me to go to St2 too. Quite nice to be able to focus on getting mine back to either the standard Seat built it or above - satisfaction factor is high and have learned more in the past few months than the years before that. Getting hands on really is the way. Could you stick together a before/after please? Looks tidy mate, nice one! Golf progress makes me happy, good man. When's the plate getting bonded/riveted in permanently dude? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jolfa Posted April 18, 2015 Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 (edited) I don't know if you've had the same as me. But all of my Golf fans have squeaked unless they've been on 3. I like it.Yeah, more of a rhythmic feeble whine haha. I'm en route to Brisbane via Sydney from Perth, had to stop 1000km shy of Sydney because the wobbly car turned out not to be bad balancing or a buckled wheel but the rear tyres worn down to the wire in 6" non-uniform patterns, never had anything like it before? It is apparently caused by bad balancing, knackered shocks, overweight or tyres just being shit and old... Or in our case all of the above! Just 6-12" patches of absolutely f**ked with tread either side Apparently called cupping or scalloping.

Little Yoshi Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 Car went into limp home mode for no reason last night. Wouldn't let me rev past 3000. Going to have good look around it today and see what I can find, hoping its just a loose wire. Got a T reg c220 elegance that smokes like a steam train on a good day.
