Hey guys

Over the last 2-3 weeks I have been trying to diagnose an issue with my climate control unit for my R33 S2.

The bulb on the RHS of the unit had blown a while back and I finally got round to ordering some LED ones as replacements.

Fitted the LED ones (came with standard base so straight plug and play setup) however the side that before was working now wasn't, and the side that wasn't working now was. Baffled by this I tried changing polarities, changing the LEDs from side to side and nothing to avail.

I ended up ordering a new climate control unit to end all of the issues in one hit. I got round to putting the new unit in today and low and behold the same is now happening.

When I was installing it, both sides with be illuminated. But no matter how delicately I positioned the climate control unit the side that was working originally won't, and the side that wasn't now will.

If I juggle the cables at the back there is no sign of the non working side ill imaging then not then illuminating etc

Can anyone suggest what the hell is going on? I took her for a test drive and I came home to both lights illuminated. Turned the car back over and one side has now gone out AGAIN.

Needles to say I am becoming very frustrated with what should be such a simple fix.

Many thanks guys! This is driving me crazy!

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
