aiight i degreased and hosed down the engine bay and like a day later my car was like goin hell slow off turns and stuff and was making the BOP BOP BOP sounds from the exaust i danno what has happened...my mates dad said water has gone into the rocker cover and etc etc....but yea how to fix aye?

cheers

hahaha

if water has gotten under the rocker cover then it prob has been mixed with the oil. which is not a good thing. check the oil cap underneath to see if the oil has white blotches.

u havent put the hose in the exhaust to clean it out have u?

yeah i think its cause the spark plugs can't fire up completely...so therefor im loosing power....hehehe yea goin to get compressed air to blow the water outa it :) yea mate nah not that stupid to put my hose into the exaust haha im not that guy that put sand in his engine hahahahaha....yea hopefully everything is goin to be fine :D...but yea scared me like hell hahah i danno howd it got under the rocker cover aye, it doesn't look like it mixed with the oil tho but im still goin to do a oil/coolant change ye hahah

Cheers

Water = steam, obviously it won't be as bad because it's not coming out at a few litres a minute, but it could have the same effect. Personally I wouldn't take the risk with all the sensors & wires you can come across.

mmm i fixed my car and serviced it put mobil 1 fully synthetc oil in and new coolant and now it runs SO SMOOTH can't even hear the engine when idleing :whistling: hahah thanks dudes for the help yea the bop bop was gorn the spark plugs where having a bath in there heheh

normally the water doesn't get in due to my sealing ontop of the rocker cover was cracked/old it got it....its ok to high pressure blast it but just try to stay away from all the electricals but a rag and degreaser is best way i think

Cheers

I've had this happen to me before when I got the car detailed. They sprayed in the engine bay and got water in the plugs. It was a fun drive home :) ... after a few days of driving it was back to normal though. If I get the car detailed now, I specifically say to leave the engine bay alone. :(

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
