There's not really anything you can do to upgrade the internals of what is already a pretty strong and quite rare gearbox. Once you exceed what the Getrag is good for, you're firmly into the aftermarket boxes.
could cause lean.
almost never fail in any meaningful way.
My 25DET Neo will cruise at ~400°, pre-turbo. Literally in the turbine inlet. Max load is ~900°C.
Yes it is correct. Whenever a cylinder is on compression/firing stroke (ie, #1 in this case) then the other cylinder that is also at TDC will be on the exhaust/induction overlap.
Access it from the LHS (RHS as you're facing it from the front), from underneath, coming in sideways. It's a bastard. Probably have to remove the intake pipes.
No, what we're saying is that the ECU is telling you there's a problem. The ECO knows more about the problem than we do. You should ask the ECU, as per Nizmo's post.
Wouldn't be the sensor. It's clearly a power issue at the dash. There is no power involved in the speed sensor - it generates its own power.
No.
It's a wiring/connector/fuse problem. Get the wiring diagram, look for the common power or earth that could cause all these things to shit themselves at the same time.
Won't be CAS. Unlikely to be coilpacks. More likely to be injectors. Rich from problem injectors is nowhere near as common as lean from (dirty) injectors, but it does happen.
Are you all sure it's fuel and not oil?
