Hey guys. I just purchased an autech 260rs and came across a little switch on the drivers side kick panel near accelerator pedal. It kinda looks factory as the 'off' writing isnt a sticker or painted on by hand. I innitially thought it may be a kill switch but after testing its not. Does anyone else have this switch or know what it could be?

Thanks

At a guess it's the 2wd switch.  Turn ignition on, flick it to OFF, start car, pump brake pedal 5 times.  Does 4wd light come on?

I'll give that a go when i get a chance. I didnt know you could actually have a 2wd switch fitted. 

Any ideas on diff lock switch?

There is no diff lock in the Atessa scheme of things. There is a switch which will give you a 50/50 fore and aft power split but that only operates at low speeds for e.g. getting you out of a muddy paddock or up a boat ramp. As soon as you hit 20 km/hr or so it reverts to the stock 95% rear until the rear wheels start to spin.

The 2wd switch (if that's what it is...its not a factory item someone had to install it to save you pulling the plug behind the driver's kick panel)  works as described by Aaron but it only works until you turn  the engine off and then you have to set it again. From the manual:

Locate the "air bleed" wire behind the drivers kick panel, it's a plug with a single wire either side (usually green socket, white plug).

Disconnect it.

Start car. As key comes back to the ON position, within 10 seconds, depress brake pedal 5 times, 4WD light will start flashing to indicate you are in 2WD mode.

To go back to 4WD mode, turn car off, reconnect plug and off you go.

 

 

I have a 260RS THERE IS NO  diff lock button there are few things incorrect in that page of info Dont take it as gospel if yours doesn't match. 

I also have 2 switches over my door near my head I the roof liner. NO idea what they do either. 

Yeah I guess the diff lock button must be a 260RS thing because all the other models have them; strange to exclude because I wasn't aware of any other difference in the ATTESSA system.

 

The only switches normally on the roof are sunroof or courtesy lights

The article is wrong there is no diff lock in the RB world and hence no diff lock button. The idea probably comes from a misunderstanding of the function of the switch I described above which is common to all attessa equipped Stageas. The Attessa reservoir is not an exclusively  260RS feature it is a feature of all awd Stageas.

HAHA my Autech is in this Article. Very 1st pic from Fuji. My S2 Autech also had a switch that looks like yours but near my rear fog light switch. looked to see what it did. was just connected to a earth so i pull that out. just thought i would add my 2 cents.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
