Re: The old which oil is best

Thanks Rob. That’s the one I’d already come across that I mentioned. They can’t even agree on what the owner’s manual recommends!

Having read through again, think I’ll go for the 5-30w. Ta.

The old which oil is best

Have read conflicting views on Scooby forums so thought I'd ask here as value your opinions. Which oil is best for a '96 EJ22. Have some 15-40 and 5-30 (Halfords!) in the garage. I know, should have made a record of this last time I did the oil change. Think my brain is turning to mush!

Re: Loss of power and garage stumped by wiring

The garage who did the work didn't tighten the jubilee clips on the air intake and also left another pipe unconnected! Tightened and reconnected and hasn't stalled since.

Re: Loss of power and garage stumped by wiring

Have you checked for any fault codes, if SSM1 type diagnostics then it's flashing lamp code activated by connecting the read memory connectors together with ignition off and then switching ignition on and counting the flashes of the check engine lamp (or lamp in the wiring as some converters might ...

Re: Loss of power and garage stumped by wiring

Maybe IAVC  idle air control valve needs cleaning,  both of my ej22 engines are stuttering and juddering badly, need to sort them out . Yeah, also thought about the idle air control valve. It’s only around 4 years old as had to fit a new one to solve a previous stalling problem when coming down the...

Re: Loss of power and garage stumped by wiring

You’re right Aiden. Apologies, I think this highlights my limited engine knowledge! It is a coil pack and this was changed by the garage as a starting point before then changing the ignition module. So new coil pack and new ignition module. Will have to look elsewhere for the rough juddering. Probab...

Re: Loss of power and garage stumped by wiring

Update for those interested and anyone who might encounter a similar problem. New (aftermarket) part arrived from China for £20. Cheaper than any second hand I could find and even these were in Lithuania! Fitted and now have power to all four cylinders. Van is still occasionally stalling when coming...

Re: Loss of power and garage stumped by wiring

Thanks for all the replies. Garage feel they have narrowed it down to an igniter pack that is part failing and only sparking two of the cylinders. The part itself has 'power tr unit' written on it. https://i.imgur.com/tZzoehl.jpg Currently, they say they can only find an aftermarket one in America. ...

Re: Loss of power and garage stumped by wiring

Cheers. The coil pack was changed when it first went back. Don’t know which cylinders I afraid.

Loss of power and garage stumped by wiring

Happy new year all! Hoping someone might have a little nugget of wisdom they can throw my way! Before Christmas the slave cylinder on my van leaked and then gave out. Once transported to the garage by the RAC, they were able to fit new. All good so far. On picking up the van (it'd been sat a couple ...

Re: Curtain rail recommendations

Plastic JK rail. Absolute garbage. Previous (original ones) were plastic but better quality - they’d just suffered from time! With the rest of the van done with the crappy JK don’t really want to do the whole lot again. Probably go with the silver stick on covers I have in the garage. Just irritatin...

Curtain rail recommendations

Hi all. Have been struggling with fitting the JK curtain rails and have now given up! They fit okay in the main part of the van but I cannot get them to bend and twist to the contours of the cab without either snapping or going out of shape so the sliders don’t slide! Anyone any recommendations for ...

Re: Help and advice on bodywork issues

Seems to just be on this panel at the moment. Have agreed with the bodyshop that they will sort it out. Don't have much other choice really. Thanks for the reply.
