sorry, for making it short, the case is, one of those plastic bags got stucked on to my exhausts piping. Then the exhausts heat sensor indicator comes on, i took it to the mechanic. he says the plastic bags underneath it is burning , thats why the exhaust heat sensor is coming on. he says , once the plastic bags are removed and scrapped off, reset the battery , it should be okay. but after he is done with that. i took it home and the exhaust heat sensor still comes on.

ok. Might not be anything to worry about but I would still get the catalytic converter checked at an exhaust shop.

Are you suffering any loss of power or does it seem a little rattly?

I wouldn't be too concerned but it does pay to have it checked out.

      Use text replace function to auto-link to referred threads?

      Yeah the issue here is that we have a lot of topics, unless we matched on the exact word & phrase we'd get a million topics and the one you want will not likely be in the top 20 or so.

      Yeah great idea, I have already added R32 Wiring Diagram but we can add as many as we want. 100% ! This has been something I've wanted to do for a while. I thought we could have a way for people to 'suggest' a link be added to the library when they come across something good.  We could kick this along by allowing members (maybe a subset) to tag threads they find to allow us to more easily find/locate/use good content, ie a tag 'for-library' which can then be added to the library and maybe have the tags reviewed and updated to better match the content. This would make it easier then to find the content when not using the library. We can also create pages that have lists of content with specific tags. That would allow us to add a tag and then have it automatically added to a page. We could have a page just for the 'for-library' content that we could then moderate and put wherever.  This excites me, the lack of structure with the amount of content is a little overwhelming.

      RB25DET Engine Oil Dipstick Length

      Of course you can. That was a waste. Straight down one oil drain gallery and out the sump hole. Could at least have run the engine a little (obviously with at least minimum oil level on the stick).

      Fixing exhaust position?

      By PranK · Posted

      Oh really? Maybe I'm being silly. I'll get some more shots. I had it higher but found that it went too high after a drive, I never knew this but exhausts can move around a bit when hot (makes sense, just never knew) and when it was higher it would make nice cooking plastic smells. That said, I could put some heat tape on a'la 90's R33 exhausts     Ha, I've spent a lot of my life in castle hill waiting for cars to be done. I think I'd prefer something closer but thanks D.

      RB25DET Engine Oil Dipstick Length

      @Duncan Yes, changed filter every time. I don't have the service manual for the car yet (Car was imported and they removed everything when importing). I've been using the oil change threads in the forum as reference.   @Milkmun The second oil change was after ~4 months after the first months and I wasn't sure about reusing engine oil that was opened. The third oil change happened within 3 weeks of the second oil change and I used the previous leftover oil to just "clean up" the system. (Poured it through while the sump plug was open")
