Recommended Posts

So I cleaned my cruise control radar on the weekend and now my cruise works perfectly again. Let my car idle for 5 minutes after a big drive when i got home, . Go to turn it off and the check engine light is on, I thought it would just be the brake pedal sensor, took for a spin with the brake pedal switch "off" and it still didn't clear. So this morning I checked the codes and I get 0235 and 0171

0235 Turbocharger Boost Sensor A Circuit Malfunction

0171 System too Lean (Bank 1)

Anyway I am pretty Stoked :no: , thinking maybe boost solenoid is caput? anyone else ever had a fauly like this? Please help if you can

Also at idle I get a very little miss I can hear and just see on the tacho, so going to do plugs etc aswell...............

Mmm, fuel regulator reference hose will definitely make it run lean. I eventually put cable ties around mine to stop this happening. Why did this make the boost sensor come up though?

yeah I just ziptied them too, dont have a clue about the boost sensor though, I am just running evrything stock (no boost controller etc)

Maybe because a decent amount of boost would bleed out of that pipe....?

    • Hi all, so some of my speakers still work some I don’t think work. The old head unit is still all functional. If I keep the stock head unit as I feel it’s vintage then can I just pop in new speakers - would that be plug and play? Would I need to bypass the amps in the doors and back? Heard there’s 3 of them.  anyone run a blue tooth into the stock head unit? Or is the only option running one of those tape decks with cable coming out?  my cd deck controller although rare I don’t think is working anymore either. Guess if I got that working with the speakers then I could load some cds.    just seeing my options here if anyone has some advise. 
    • My trusted mechanic is Tunehouse in Calder St, Marrickville. He's the guy who did the ECUtek dyno tune on mine. I'm nearing the 85k mark for my motor and I'm considering getting the oil galley gaskets done as preventative maintenance when the time comes. Since my garage isn't big enough for such a task, I'm definitely going to be handing it over to him. You'll be impressed by how clean he keeps his workshop. It gives you the confidence he and his employees will look after your vehicle with the same pride.
    • The Bogan Sports Car now has fresh gear bag and diff oil The old gear bag oil was nice and clean looking, the old diff oil was average looking, not horrible, just dark, I've seen worse in other cars, much worse Good things was that both drain plug magnets looked good with zero bits of anything apart from a small coating of that typical black goo you get on the diff plug, it was probably the original diff oil, but nothing shiny The shifts are sweet, and the Torsen is Torsening like a boss (tested in the work vehicle maintenance yard after work). LOL In other noise related news, the Racing Beat axle back sound nicer than stock from outside with the roof down, but still pretty quiet, but it's not noticeable at all really inside with the roof up.....maybe it needs a header.....🤪  This is what a OEM header looks like 😝 > 🤣🤣🤣🤑   
    • what about people that have loud exhausts on automatics?
    • Does it have a vacuum brake booster? If it does, and the booster isn't connected you will get TPS and all sorts of other codes, and it will struggle to idle Have you driven the car, checked the brakes?
