Super hicas or hicas?

Ah just rip everything out? Including the solenoid. Make sure you leave the little box under your parcel shelf.

Undo the tie rods from the current bar, they are a reverse thread so hold one side etc. if all else fails, remove one tie rod then rip out the bar with The other tie rod still attached and go buy one from kyp

Rick, its spelt Volkswagen! You know you want it!

08 golf James.

Like i said sometimes it will take a few min of blowing hot air before it cools and most times its cold as soon as i hit the button. The compresser and a solenoid are known for stuffing up but generaly once they do it just goes to a mild cool. I'm guessing mine is either on the way out or has a leak (i hope)

For you car ill need about .5 meter of p/s hose and 2 clamps, 1/2in i think.

Have done this mod numerous of times. Best way to go about it is to remove the power steering pump. Remove the rear cover off it (rear sections is the hydyaulic system for the HICAS). Here you will see a round object with little metal inserts slotted into it. These rectangular peices of metal are the vanes of the HICAS pump. Removing these inserts will stop fluid flow through the hicas system. Then you can block of the hole which feeds the HICAS lines, and remove all of the HICAS componants. You should have a loop at the front of the vehicle which can be removed, a solenoid on the front right of the engine, lines that go to the back and another solenoid at the back. If you want pics let me know!

that or you run the rear section into a cooler. 1/2 a meter of hose and 2 clamps get it done.

Sorry Jimmy have been flat out (dam floors) and forgot to call you will have to book a weekend with you to get this done.

yep ive been flat out too bud.

about your car, its a fairly late model do u know if it has a variable load compressor on it or is it the common type which uses a clutch. (if it constantly clicks in and out then its not a variable compressor)

also how many km's has it done? have u talked to the dealership to see if its maybe a common problem?

coz if its intermittent then i doubt its gonna be a gas issue, its probably gonna be something electronic like a module, which without the proper diagnostic equipment is farking hard to diagnose!

Its an 08 and i would assume the vaiable type (top of the line model with climet control).

There is a common fault but its not intermittent. Car is out of warranty however im getting it serviced soon so ill get them to run a diagnostic test on it. I think it a sensor that is tripping out when the car sits in the sun all day (getting hot inside) to give a faulse reading. No stress was just hopeing it would be gas as thats an easy (and cheaper) fix.

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
