nah I always leave it till the pump is primed. I hear it Click off in the boot (noise courtesy of the big bosch pump :)) but it still is hard to start. most times have to touch the pedal. esepecially when its cold.

also clutch is really loud till you hold your foot in on the pedal.

When is the last time you got your injectors cleaned and flow testered?

i have a relay in the boot that keeps clicking. i think its for the hicas pump. ive been told its a bad earth or something. any ideas anyone? does anyone know where the major earth points are for the wiring system?

4. still cant get to blow air up on the front windscreen with the AC off.

I think this is normal? Mine does it too? Its annoying when its cold and you have to have cold air blowing in to demist the screen

I think the wiring in my car is loopy, i believe it thinks the boot is always open (int light on and boot light on, i had to remove), and the alarm believes this too. normallly that is ok, alarm ignores that one trigger point, but yesterday alarm started going off for no reason, and keeps doing it. had to turn stupdi siren off...

Anyone have ideas about wiring & how to fix? This is actually REALLY annoying me....

i've got a whining noise coming from my steering column... but the dirty sanchez dosen't make the noise when i take it to the mechanic, but it starts up again the moment I get home. I've made around 10 trips to mechainics, only to have em look at me n go "what noise?".

My car is a dubious manipulator. The voices in my head agree with this too.

No really I have a whining noise which comes on and off. it increases in pitch when the car is moving faster. The faster my wheels are turning the higher the pitch. Its inaudible from the outside and while inside it seems like its coming from the steering wheel.

One of these days I'll gut the car to find a worn out bearing causing it and I will rage out on that bearing making the rest of its life a living hell.

this makes me feel good about my car, nothings really wrong with it like this, 1 or 2 rattles i've still gotta find , got rid of about 3 already...

sometimes i have to look out the left hand window to see where i'm going when i go around a corner on boost.... i think thats my tyres tho :D

i have to have the air con on to get the air on the windscreen too.

Yup... my aircon automatically switches on if I just press the demister front or rear.

The freaky stuff my car does atm is below:

-> when cold the break pads sqeeak... very bad.. ok after I drive the car and use the breaks a lil.

-> RATTLING! dammit I had rattling and I still havent even put in my sub yet. :D Thinking of taking out the trims and re-sit them backin and see if it will solve me rattling problem.

-> A flat spot? at ~2 or 3000rpm, tho I think it might be due to the triptronic gearbox or something.. not sure yet...

-> After the car warms up the idle is not constant.. (some misses) or when I park my car on an angle with the front higher than the rear.. Taking this back to the mechanic workshop soon to work out why..

-> Tendency to attract lots of people around it.. ;)

Other than these. I am prefectly happy with my car. :D

HA its a japanese Tuner and tape player.. dont have any tapes and cant get Aust stations... Fcuking thing!

There is an easy (and cheap) solution.

You can get a handy little frequency converter that plugs in between the antenna and the radio.

It converts all the frequencies (shifts them up or done) so they match the Japanese range the radio recieves.

I have it in mine and it works quite well, the only flaw is that the radio still displays the jap frequency so for example 105 may display as 97 :)

well.. mine seems to over heat every so often.. it'll be fine for a while.. then boom.. it will sky rocket to the H mark and steam will piss out every where. I just had the system checked etc because it shat itself a while ago... damn thing.. just did it again tonight..
