Good day all, I'm just trying to confirm if the M50 2.0 non-vanos engines have a knock/ping sensor or anything that will do/process engine knocking for the ECU. Thank you all, Dom

roget that mates... Will keep an eye on the temp. Cheers Dom

I did a 140 km drive today..on shutting down..the rear left side bumper booth flooring/spare tire..was hot from the tail pipe silencer... What could be wrong ?? Thanks Dom

Will the crank / cam sensor fault codes appear during the Diagnostic check ? Thanks all Dom

Hi Did the MODIC check with the diagnostic thingy today... FAULT code 42 - Mass Air Meter - Fault.. So guess it's that then..time to change the MAF.. >>> what difference will i see when i change it ?? Accelaration ? Idling ? Others ?? Cheers Dom

My engine is an M50 2.0...non vanos..it's a 91 imported from the UK... and YES..very interested with mods..especially getting rid of the Dual mass Flywheel...appreciate and tips. Cheers Dom

OK..interesting... have cleaned out the T/Body..ISCV...about a week ago...still no change...Vacumm leaks maybe..still sorting out thru the usual places.. Ahh..where's the coolant sensor located - is that the unit in the airbox ?? Thermostat engine temp sensor..hmm.. Ok will check those out as well.. Thanks Dom

HI Andy.. mine is a 1991 model with a M50 engine.I think it's a GETRAG..but not sure which one... IS there a plate on the box to indenfity ? Cheers Dom

I have this problem..with my car when sometimes the throttle is depressed it seems that the 'signal' is not going thru and there's a hesitation..so will need to rev it up and then release the clutch to get going. I also got the problem with the 'bouncing' idling..sometime after running a while and shut down and start up later (when still hot) The rpm jump up and down and in some cases the engine stalls.IF i apply some pedal to 'even' out..then it's ok. BUT on shuttin off the A/c and idling becomes like a broken exhaust..(boop bup bup etc)... Thought it was the MAF..swapped a buddies one..and had the same problem. I"Ve been told to check oxy sensor,crank , cam or throttle switch (TPS ). Any with advice tips..greatly appreciated. Cheers Dom
