Last job before holiday,
Axels Imola Yellow S3
APY engine , wanted it wideband converting properly
The looms were absolutely destroyed, unfortunately it looks like it’s had a fairly rough life and there’s oil everywhere, the wiring was very poor and the vacuum system was just a mess
Work carried out:
- BAM engine looms (both sides) supplied and fitted , removing the factory SAI wiring and allowing for factory VVT, wideband and EGT if wanted
- Wideband lambda sensor
- VVT tensioner supplied, went with a used one for now with the original chain
- Elring Rocker and VVT gaskets
- Replacement oil pressure switch (no idea why it was mangled?!)
- Later style 2 pin knock sensors , importantly torqued correctly
- Servo pipe replacement (original was lethal, rubbing on everything and asking for a hard pedal)
- Redid the N249 delete, again just shoddy work with all sorts of bits of pipe. N75 piping redone too as it was just awful
I did my best to tidy up as much as i could without having to go too far
Next steps for Axel are to change the fuel pump as it takes ages to start and is starting to run rough
Fit a BAM ECU, i would’ve obviously done this but he has one . Advised to trailer away due to mismatch of files/software plus pump
