If you need a diagnostic check on the car then Duncan has my DeltaDash software and can troubleshoot the issue for you?

How is the car these days anyway?

Hi Russ,

I would take you up on that if we can arrange a date/time.

The car is good apart from its current issue - fuel consumption up by 25% and lack of the TD05 push in the back!
It drives like a stock STi.
Feels smooth till about 5k ish then seems to be holding back.

No orange lights.

I have booked it in for a routine diagnostic at Overton just to see if anything comes up.

Any help appreciated

Let me know what would suit you.
Cheers, Shaun.

Alright; thanks for the offer

I had a go with rom raider and from a novice users point of view it does look to be a very rich mixture, havent had time to try to interpret why yet.

P22 is due back with me just before I head over to Spain.

Shauns car will need a 10 minute datalog to figure out the problem so he can get the bits to solve it..... plenty of time left

Thought I would post a wee update;

The car ran through a diagnostic at the garage and everything looked spot on, this is of course in open loop so the o2 wont be taken into account. fuel trim long/short term was just over 13%, doesnt sound normal to me, but I dont know if thats down to the remap or not.
I changed the front o2 sensor - used one from Matty - last night, maybe a bit better but certainly doesnt have the 'go' it should. If there is no improvement then my next move may be to change the rear sensor - I believe it can adjust the fuel trim as well.
Under no load conditions the exhaust gas was 100% so cat damage would now be low on the list. I would have thought.
I will see if the MPG has changed over the coming days.
Getting a bit fed up with it now.....

The rear was my next port of call, as it were...
I have forgotten what it was reading, I will go and check.

MPG and performance just the same ATM.

I had some input from MattyB, he said that the rear sensor wasnt used on boost - on boost the car runs on the map.
So I didnt go any further down that route.
Bug is still not 100% so Russ if you are able to drop me a text or call my mob when you are back I would appreciate it.

Cheers.
