Chris.Mcd Posted September 25, 2007 Posted September 25, 2007 (edited) Hey guys. Most have you have prob read my threads recently. Well today has been the biggest disaster EVER. First of all left my house heading to AWD, Perth to get my injectors fitted. On the way the car decides to over heat. Water temperature was past the red. Had to stop about 10 times on the way. One of the hoses was leaking, so coolant was pissing out everywhere under the engine causing alot of smoke. Finally I got to AWD, they sorted the coolant problem and fitted my injectors for me. Car was very lumpy and alot of white smoke was coming out of the exhaust. Anyway I thought this was common after changing the injectors and set on my way to meet Andy F in Port Seaton. When I arrived, Andy knew straight away there was something up because of the strong smell of fuel. He hooked up his laptop and discovered a misfire in cylinder three. He run a few more tests and came to the conclusion that the injector in cylinder 3 must be broken, therefore could not map my car. To say I am gutted is a understatement. Waste of a day, quite alot of money and worst thing is I will most likely have to wait a few weeks before Andy can fit me in again. Well there is my rant for the day. How was everyone elses day ? ha Chris Edited September 25, 2007 by Chris.Mcd
martin_allen Posted September 25, 2007 Posted September 25, 2007 weirdly my day seemed much better after reading this! sorry chap at least it is nothing terminal though. 5t.
cullenmin Posted September 25, 2007 Posted September 25, 2007 You don't have the best of luck do you mate! Were the injectors new or used then? Hope you have better luck next time round, then you'll be smiling after the Andy F treatment! Rich
thewelsho Posted September 25, 2007 Posted September 25, 2007 Going through a similair situation mate, so I know the feeling! Lets hope it gets better for both of us soon. J
higgy Posted September 25, 2007 Posted September 25, 2007 Going through a similair situation mate, so I know the feeling! Lets hope it gets better for both of us soon.J Did yo uget a new set of injectors or are they second hand. If new get the people who supplyed them to pay for the second install Higgy Ps you should have phoned me Higgy
drb5 Posted September 26, 2007 Posted September 26, 2007 Poor show fella....i know how you must feel. I will always give about 2 weeks for fitting any additional mods, before a mapping session now, just incase something goes wrong.
craig79 Posted September 26, 2007 Posted September 26, 2007 (edited) Feel for you buddy, pretty much worst case scenario there. It's bad enough going to all the bother and cost for a 'tuning' day and for it all to go to pot 5 mins into it. Suppose it can only get better Edited September 26, 2007 by craig79
Chris.Mcd Posted September 26, 2007 Author Posted September 26, 2007 cheers guys for the sympathy ha. Yeah as people have said it can only get better. Booked into AWD next Tuesday to get it sorted. Hopefully Andy gets a cancelation soon Unfortunatly they were second hand. Bought of a Guy on scooby net, suppose it teaches me not to buy things second hand but then again you expect things to be working when you buy off enthuasist (sp) sites like thiis or Scooby net. Sorry Higgy, I really appreciated then offer , I will definatly phone next time. Next question is - where can I source One injector from ??
WUZ Posted September 26, 2007 Posted September 26, 2007 I will always give about 2 weeks for fitting any additional mods, before a mapping session now, just incase something goes wrong. I try to do that but people moan about wanting it done the day before so they can drive it........ TBH I have spent all of my last nights onshore for the past year under a bonnet of someone's else's car until about 4.30 am making sure the car is right, then it's shower, dressed, off to airport to fly out to India. Some people don't realise dhe effort involved sometimes. Time for a change methinks Russell
