I recently did a bunch of upgrades to my car and my tuner was in my laptop giving me a base tune for the haltech and he noticed the firmware for It was pretty old. Told me to unplug the coils before he updates the firmware because in the past they have fried on other cars while updating. I found the plug on my car and I can’t seem to unhook it. I’ll post a video.

Push the catch in, slide the two halves apart. You may need a thin flat bladed screwdriver or similar to insert into the split line between the halves to give a little leverage and you may need the tip of some needle nose pliers or similar to convince the catch to push in. These all get stiff and stuck if left alone for years.

You can also spray a little silicone lube into the catch area to try to make it easier to move.

Thanks. That was my next idea was some silicone lubricant to try and free it.

Hey @SeanR32GtSt did you manage to get it loose? if not try insert a flat head into the top portion of the split and use another flat head to work your way around the plug.

they're really tight because they have a water seal gasket all the way around.

Cheers

Appreciate it. Haven’t had the time yet to try. I work 4 12 hour shifts at my local hospital. But I have Friday off to try again.

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
