Ok my engine warning light has come on again , the code is 0171 (system too lean) iv had this code come up before so I check it all out and turned one of my hoses come off the air intake, assuming that's what it was I fixed it cleared the code but now it's back, anyone with any help ideas to what it could be would be much appreciated, also I have rechecked all hoses and clamps all seem to be fine so now I'm lost

Did they change the fuel filter?

(it is a section of the pump assembly in the fuel tank)

If it hasn't been done, it may still be on it's original production line filter and might be quite clogged.

Just a thought.

Hey guys, didn't want to start a new thread. Mine has the same code coming up. Vac lines replaced and cable tied. Car seems to run fine but don't want to go and blow it...

However I want to change the fuel pump anyway, is there a write up on this?? Can't seem to find one for the life of me. Would be happy to take pics and do a write up if that is the case.

So does anyone have a part number for the external filter? What's the best drop in pump to use and so on... Your wisdom is greatly appreciated as always.

    • Nothing wears "the most". Different cars will always show signs in a different place. 114000 km is either nothing at all (as in, given the calendar age, nearly brand new) or it's completely unbelievable. We stopped believing numbers like that about 15 years ago. Having said that, my car is up around 270000 km and I have put bushes into some places** as many as 10 times in >25 years that I've owned it. ** FUCAs, which are different on an R32 than on a 33, so not likely to be the same issue for you. I have original ball joints all the way around. They are perfectly fine. Same with the spindle bearings in the front. Tie rod ends have all been done at least once though. Pretty much every other bush in the car has been done at least twice. Some of those in the first 100000km after I got it (which was at a genuine 23000!). Some of those bushes are now sphericals, and they are on a <cough> regular maintenance schedule, hence why my FUCAs have been rebuilt so many times. Half of those 10 in the count above would be in the last few years! 'twere I you, I would budget on replacing everything, for fun and prevention. If they really are 30 year old rubber, they will all be unpleasantly aged in one way or another. Whether that's corrosion of shells, or the rubber cracking, or sagging under the load, etc etc.
    • Tighten until it starts to get loose again, then back off 1/4 turn?
    • Do them as you'll find when you remove them they are perished/dried.    Its probably one of the best things to do as makes the car so much more responsive. Do ball joints while there too.
    • Hi All Got an R33, about 114,000km on the clock.  Handles very nice, no signs of issues.    Engine is out and i'm doing an underbody refresh, mainly painting subframe, cosmetics etc. Can't see anything physically giving play, but I'm wondering which bushes are the ones that wear the most, or the first ones that may give problems down the track? For good measure I'm thinking to fit new ones. Thanks
