As per title guys, I have an M80G Mongoose alarm. I was wondering how far away the remote will/should work. Without anything in the way - direct line of sight. Some mornings it works from like 20 metres away, other times its like 2 metres.

Im going to change the battery, but just wanted to confirm.

Cheers,

Dan :)

battery time. 100m is typical providing you are NOT near any inteference (IE TV towers.)

Thanks Chris, i thought it must be about battery time!

When I replace the battery can I just swap it straight over, I dont have to re-program the remote do i?

Cheers,

Dan :woot:

Happen to me 2 months back, change the battery and you'll be fine, no need to reprogram. Your local seven eleven should have this battery as its a unique size. I tried bunnings and they didn't have it.

About 50 metres for me. My mate taught me a neat little trick if you need to arm/disarm from far away, stick the remote to your neck and press the button. I managed to get range of about 150m which is from the car park to my desk

thats a known one. you become the antenna for it.

OK, replaced the battery, seemed to slightly imrpove the range for like 2 days. Now its back to its crappy <20m range. What am I doing wrong? Do brands for batteries matter that much? The battery I got wasnt anywhere near its expiry date.....

Help!!

Cheers,

Dan :happy:

      Factory oil temp sensor in a RS4V without gauges?

      By RBW49N · Posted

      The light comes on from low oil pressure. Not temp. Did you do a rebuild or just add an ecu etc?  What oil are you using and where are you getting the pressure reading from

      Factory oil temp sensor in a RS4V without gauges?

      By Chi-Town · Posted

      So like the title says my 97 rs4v has a oil temp sensor but no triple gauges as it was originally factory navigation. My current setup is not using the factory oil pressure sensor as I'm running a link ecu and a real sensor.  I did leave the oil temp sensor in. So now as I was working on first start up and bleeding coolant I get the oil light on the dash faintly as the oil temp gets to about 60-70c. Oil pressure is 45psi at idle at the same time.  I'm wondering if the temp sender doing this?

      R34 engine swap Rb25de neo to s1 Rb25det

      By Manur33 · Posted

      I already got plug and play Link ecu G4X. Main concern is that the de loom works on s1 motor or not? I already rewired injector and coils loom to suit my bosch injectors and bosch vag coil. I’m not running any Iacv. For cas running the nz wiring kit i bought the neo plug one so it suits the wiring but don’t know it works or it doesn’t matter they work the same on every motor. For wastegate solenoid do i need to wire straight from ecu? What can i do for iat sensor to work or same run from ecu? For Vct solenoid, right now i got s1 vct solenoid on motor so do i need to remove neo connector and add s1 connector to work? Any other thing i missed i need to do to make the motor working on de loom. Any different mechanism on neo vs s1?
