Looking nice. The ironing board in the last picture is also part of the upgrade? (grogee beat me to it)

Use multimeter and check resistance. You should get something close to 1100 Ohm. Since the problem is intermittent, I would check the connectors, perhaps some corrosion has settled in...?

Two typical points: cam cover seal and the crankseal. Most probably it is one of these two. The third possibility is camshaft seal leak.

Yes, sound like ABS. Check the sensor to tone ring gap. This behaviour, grinding to a stop is usually a sign of misaligned or slightly damaged tone ring (few notches are bent in). As the speed decreases so the signal weakens and at the point of irregularity it will break down i.e. disappear. The ABS...

Engine alone (bare engine) is well below 100 kgs as all other engines of sigma familiy are. I would say we are talking 80-ish kgs here. Adding the flywheel will bring it up closer to 100 kgs, but still keep it below that (in region of 90-ish kg) Hope that helps. Or you wanted exact figure? (which I ...

Ouch, that is SOME price and then some.... I bet it has rotten away at the front twisted section which is there just to provide for PSP switch next to A/C compressor. There is some rubber to protect it, but it is turned so that opening is at the top; the moisture and crap collect there and it is jus...

Oh yes, my car being LHD version will have a different shape of it....

Chech my thread, I had it repaired. You will find images there

Hi alanet,

I would recommend checking the driveshafts. There should be no movement at all, try grabbing it by hand and turning it. There should be no movement at all (gearbox in gear, wheels on the ground, handbrake aplied)

With time yes. But until it does you would have erratic idle again. Since you are unsure what the problem really is, I would take all the knowns out of the equation if I could. And idling etc you can. You are putting on another throttle body which is not new, so it has some leakage around butterfly....

He does have another throttle body he's going to try to see if this will solve the judder issue. As it's only occuring when the accelerator pedal is slightly pushed, he thinks the throttle body might be letting in too much air. If you decide to replace the throttle body, you will have to reset the ...

Just to report that JASAPP passed MOT again with flying colours! :grin: Had a bit of problem initally, but that was due to me, not the car! When I appeared at MOT station, the lady at reception desk reported that my ID has expired. And she was right. Surely I can approach MOT with driver's licence? ...

Very nice indeed!

So that is how a new puma used to look......!

Nice one, you got lucky big time....

Lack of posts would implicate the car is running well now?

And I was reluctant, given your impulse nature of buying all the stuff we recommended worth checking , to advise to you to check the TPS (Throttle position sensor) for the judder. The MAF is clean?

Nearly there!

Ok, with all your modifications try now disconnecting the battery for few minutes to reset the PCM (ECU). Then start the car and let it idle until the fan comes on. In the process (while it is idling switch on the lights, cabin blower (to all positions), rear window heater, A/C if you got one and le...

SKF is a very good brand...

Agreed. Never really understood what is so cool about lowering car to the ground all the way? I, myself, always liked the rally look...

No special gasket, you can put in two O-rings for the openings or cut your own gasket if needed.

Lack of updates asking for some advices would imply that the problem is solved?

Oh yes! The Skoda is ruining the picture, though

Ed,

Replacing IAV - 5 min
Replacing VSS - 15 min (the battery and it's carrier have to go out)
Replacing MAF - 5 min
CV boot - that is a pig of a job as it is messy big time....

But the first 3 you can do on your own without problems...

Roughly £30 per 1% increase in bhp.

A bargain at any price.

Ed

All that will increase with the mushroom in the picture is noise, I am affraid

IAV has to be somewhere on inlet manifold downstream of the throttle butterfly.

VSS is on top of gearbox and can't be relocated anywhere. But now that you have said this about cold start and not idleing at all, this is almost 100% IAV that is clogged and seized.
