So it worked for you too aye? Well i guess its good news we found the cure, but i dont understand why it needs that extra second. Atleast i wont have the dodgy start ups anymore. And i guess that aac valve didnt really do much in the end. Only way the aac valve would help the start up problem was if you increased the idle speed, which was getting rather annoying, hence why i returned it back to normal and done this little experiment ;p. Glad it worked your you as well!

picked the car up from paden , he adjusted something but was really strapped for time and had to get to work so didnt get to ask him what exactly.

he did also clean the aac valve ,and this morning it seemed to be fine , but will have to wait to see if the problem is solved

Ohh really?? Niceee, might be the idle perhaps?? Did you notice it idling slightly higher? As long as the problems gone should be all sweet =)

it idles a but higher but started my car this morning and it did the same thing. So i held the key in the start position for a bit longer then cranking and it worked!

as suggested previously this is the fix , but what is the cause?

In all honesty i have no clue what the cause is, at least we've sold the problem. Still would like to know why that extra 1 second determines whether the car starts like crap or not. Might ask the mechanic.

Anyways for anyone who does visit this forum, we just turn the key for an extra second while starting up in the morning and it solves the start up problem, however we just dont know what the problem is although we found the cure.

For some reason my car doesn't do it anymore.

Now it starts fine, little higher idle while cold, then goes to the normal 650-700rpm once warmed up, Then somtimes after stopping it idles high before dropping to the normal again.

Anyway cold starting problem is no more. fingers crossed

Just a note guys your TPS can cause this issue too. Tps giving a false reading when cold makes the af ratio go way rich causing idle and stalling problems. Test your tps with a multi meter. Its not an issue when the engine is warm as the warm engine can cope with the richer mixture.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.

      Continental have consistently beaten the absolute shit out of every other performance tyre in Wet/Damp/Cold conditions and give up a little bit of time (half a second at most) in the dry. Almost like it's engineered for German conditions or something. I'd def give those a try.
