Hey guys a few months ago i was stopped at lights in my N/A R34 and the lights went green and for some reason i happened to look down and my A/T light was on... car had no power at all i cant remember what its called but it was in fail safe mode or limp mode i think you guys may call it??.. (stuck in 3rd)

anyway i turned my car off and turned it back on the lgith flashed for about 10 seconds then went out and my car was fine afterward...

i kept driving for a few weeks.. and it did it again one day when i pulled up to pick up a friend i went to go again and suddenly it was in limp mode again.... again turned it off and on again light flashed for 10 or so seconds and it drove fine again.

the car may of done it a few more times but everytime it did it, the car would go back to normal..

just hte other day i was driving and it happened again.. i turned it off and turned it back on this time it stayed stuck in limp mode but the light was gone...

so now it wont go out of this limp mode but the light flashed for 10 seconds or so everytime i start up then goes out as usual... but the car has remained in limp mode ever since last tuesday i think it was..

what do u guys reckon it could be? the car is at the mechanics at the moment but they're on holidays until the 4th of january.. so its sitll playing on my mind it wasn't looked at before they went on holidays so im jus really keen to know what the possibilities could be??

sorry about the long post.. hopefully i didnt lose anyone.. cheers guys

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
