how securly is it fitted?? no lose connections??

Its in quiet secure with a couple of screws either side and wedged in the cradle.

It doesnt skip with the radio so I guess its the disc drive side and not connections.

Pretty sure its the disc side just need to know if maybe a simple clean or alignment may fix it.

If that all costs too much then I guess I am up for a new one or good condition second hand one.

Hi all.

My Kenwood headunit is skipping over rough roads.

Anyone know if its terminal or can be fixed or point me in the direction of who can help?

Cheers.

My old Kenwood head unit hated being tilted back any more than about 10* in my old car. If it was flat, it wouldn't skip....

I think this is a common problem with cd players, unless its a newer type stacker with a gel centre which stops the skipping on rough surfaces. Saying that i had a pioneer (last model) which was excellent when it came to bumps. If its a headunit cd player not much you can do, apart from maybe try to mount it with some rubber sandwiched between it and the bracket mounts to absorb the knocks...?

has it only just started skipping? cos all cd players will skip over hard bumps

i think the better ones have an anti-shock thingo to prevent skipping

unless u just installed super hard suspension in ur car lol

I have just put the unit back in after removing one to go to another car. When new it was Ok. Now I can hit the side of the dash with my hand and make it skip everytime. Pretty sure it is knackered.

      From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢

      Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.

      Oil pan for RB25DET NEO Stagea "version"

      meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
