I don't know anything about the Norwegian roadworthiness test - does it check the condition of suspension bushes (like ours) and whether the dampers are actually doing anything useful (ours doesn't, only if they're leaking). Only checks for leaking dampers. They have to be seriously flimsy to be no...

I didn't think about the chin spoiler... Now it's on the list. But will there be an advantage if I go for the kit from Jaeger? I have searched for statements regarding these kits, but can't find anything useful. The syncro-kits keep popping up all the time though. The only info I find is that they a...

Poly bushes will be installed. That's for certain. The price makes them a no-brainer.

I am lookng into a few upgrades to our Autohomes Komet. Last year, we drove approx. 5500km. It was in a lot of ways a very pleasant trip. No trouble, save for a bust tyre. But I do feel that the stock suspension may be a bit lacking for a fully loaded high top camper. High COG and quite some weight ...

After a bit of fiddling, I found a simple workaround for the picasa issue:

Going over ground is one of the first things on my list for this one. How nice if that would just sort everything out

These just arrived:



Which means that it's going back to the proper Oettinger front

That's a good list, if I ever saw one. And I can't help but mentally nod to myself when I see what you haven't done. :? I would just love if my inexperienced hunch would end up being the fix in this. I've asked vwspeedshop if they have injectors suitable for the 2.1, and also about the impedance acr...

Hunting - two types:- 1) Rhythmic (Brmmm, Brmm, Brmm :) ), rich -tends to get the better of you in low gears jerking the vehicle about when off the gas... neutral throttle 2) Erratic, longer period, splashy, weak - tends to no real power or torque and tendency to cutting out, whereas above tendency...

The frustrating thing about this motor is that I can get no input from Oettinger themselves! I have the impression that they forgot mostly all about this engine... They've been pretty quick to respond, but fairly thin in their response. To the point that the fellow here who is Oettinger trained and...

The only difference is that the German motor is wired for an oxygen sensor and the SA wiring does not include that. Disconnecting the O2 sensor plugs seemed to make no difference to the German Oettinger. I'm just looking in the ProTraining document for DigiJet. " The oxygen sensor is deactivat...

You might be onto something, but if that's how Oettinger did it, one could presume they knew the amp could supply that sort of current reliably... I like to think so. Is it possible that the WBX-6 is just very sensitive to 'drippy' injectors ? Meaning leaky needle valves? I have no idea. And I don'...

It's tempting to connect the output from the ecu to a 1,33ohm resistor, and from there to all the injectors.

So, if the ECU actuates all injectors at the same time anyway, there should be little difference in putting in two more. Except for the resistance, which drops to 2.67ohm. And wiring them separately to the ECU would look nice, but not necessarily make a big difference. I'm such a novice when it come...

I haven't got much input to your measuring and fault searching. I'm learning while I'm reading your posts. Thanks for that :) But I can tell you how my injectors are connected. And it's just as you say, with the two added injectors just hooked up in parallel. I do find it odd that they are connected...
