Hi All,

Have White 200 RS4 Stag.. ( in case you couldn't guess ).

I've had it for around 1 year now and for about 8 months have had the engine warning light comming on intermittently. Initially it would only do it maybe once a month, thne once 1 fortnight, then once a week, now daily.. The car had a little shudder for about 2 seconds then the light comes on.

I'vr bben told that it is porbably the voil pack that needs replacing, but alos have been told that it could be something to do with the air flow sensor.. I'va had a diagnotic done twice on it with no result. ( Mech probably doesn't have car on his equipment ).

Any one had the same problem or have any firmer ideas as to what could be the solution to this. If not anyone know of a machanic that knows about Stageasin Perth northern Suburbs ?

Cheers

Where are you st? Find a gtr mech to do the diagnostics for you and see wheter he can pin point the problem. Thats your best bet i suppose

I had a similar problem with my Series II and it turned out to be faulty coil packs and related electrical circults causing the coil packs to blow.

Mine was repaired by the dealer, who also happens to compliance Stageas here in WA

Not sure if he does work for general public but PM me and I will try and find his details.

Its a bit of drive though given they are in Beckenham.

Cheers, Al

watch out for a certain workshop in perth with a 2wd dyno only but they attempt to run the stageas on it in 4wd for abit of smokin action :/

PM if u want the details of the shop cause i would reccomend leaving your car as far from that shop as possible if u want it sorted and no other problems caused.

ring Top Racing in Capel Crt i think it is in Bentley. awesome workshop and very helpful guys down there :) they have been doing stuff on my stagea and helping me heaps even though im doing all the installing of parts at home and they aint getting any money they still dont mind helping out with info. Steve will be tuning my power fc djetro very soon. he also has a 4wd dyno in the workshop (i think they got it now, or its a few days away if they dont).

cheers

      Blue slip

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
