Ok sounds weird I was sitting in driveway and notice my front window was dirty so I cleaned it , proceeded to do rear window . I could hear motor but couldnt see water , tried again and no luck , i got a pin and checked for a blockage and tried again ... Fail. Then I see massive puddle under car WTF!!? open boot and it's flooded with water ? I dried it up and decided not to use rear wiper again , until I had to move car for dad to get his car out and I have ABS , ALSD 4WD lights on constant now . Checked where ecu is in boot and it's flooded!! Have I just f**ked my ecu!

There are 2 ecu in boot on driver side mounted under parcel shelf , I checked fuses and they are all ok? But lights are still on , it's a series 3 aswell so it runs diff abs , atessa and so on! So I'm freaking out

i dont know what the click would be, i dont think it would be coming from one of the computers unless theres a short there..if it was me id be getting an auto electrician or someone who can try and identify the faults in it, might save yourself alot of heartache

Problem fixed , water from rear wiper jet leaked because it was disconnected , probably when installing child restraints ( dodgy compliance workers ) and when I tried to use it I got water everywhere and it leaked into the ecu's. Unplug ecu and remove from car. Get a hair dryer and contact cleaner and give it a good blast while blowing hair dryer , reinstall ecu and check it works ( which mine did ) and install cable ties onto water hose so it can't come loose .

    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
