vimtovento

Vento is N/A my MPG is not too great 260 ish miles to a tank when on a run. I'm thinking i might a vacuum pipe thats leaking.... And i'm over fueling i think... Doing my head in!

Guys/Gals, My Vento has started to pop quite loudly between gear changes when giving it some stick. Any ideas as to what would start to cause this? Could this be linked to over/under fueling? Cheers Phil

actually the mixing desk they used is manufactured by the company i work for :-)

The gauage had it hooked up to dianostics but i don't know if it was Vagcom, nothing showing on there. But being an earlier engine i'm not sure if the Cam sensor would show up? If it is the Cam sensor whats the damage? Is it Vag only part?

Guys, The saga continues with my VR, coolant sensors check out ok, i've had the injectors professionally cleaned yet after 3.5K rpm the engine revs but no power at all, its using a load of fuel as well. I'm really going mad at the moment. Any ideas? *-) I have the car booked in for a rolling road session next week to try and get to the bottom of this problem, so if you could possible give me some pointers that would be a great help. BTW the engine is a 6 month old re-manufactured vege engine OBD1 if that helps? Cheers Phil

try here http://shop.venair.com/index.php?cPath=30_60&sort=1a&page=2 i've got these fitted to the vento... Every bit as good as Samco hoses, free shipping from spain and they turned up when they said they would... Mine are red not the best colour but they cost me $200 (£100 at the time) which is very cheap...

Anyone used these guys Hi flow cats? http://www.sportcats.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=633&osCsid=38f50fbf1a487cbed113b71e08be3b99 Are they any good? I'd be interested in hearing if +15BHP is achieable from fitting these? Cheers Phil

You can get them from here they convert OBD1 to OBD11 http://www.skpang.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=21&products_id=143 Sukkin is a nice bloke i used to work with him.. Phil

My OBD1 Vento also has three switchs in the housing. With regards to over fueling are you getting a cloud of brownish smoke if you boot it? I am and i'm getting quite a rich smelling exaust (like my carbed rocco used to smell like) could this be caused/solved by replacing the temp sensor like you mention above? I thought it might be the MAF going faulty?

You may be right there Phil. Vege tech help mentioned the same thing, I bloody well hope its something as easy as this...... :@ I've ordered a neuspeed 160 degree stat and low temp fan switch to see if this helps matters.

Hi Guys, Question for you, I had a Vege remanufactured engine fitted in April this year. All was going well run in nicely oil changed at 1K and now serviced at 4K. Over the weekend i've lost power will not rev over 3.5K no pull at all. I checked the hoses after a 4 mile journey and they where hard as nails. I allowed the engine to cool for 10 mins then popped off the header tank cap, it was like an eruption! Left it for another couple of minutes started her up and the dredded bubbles appeared. Seems like a Head Gasket gone, but no oil in water or vice versa, no water in the exhaust? Seems stra

^^ anyone with ETKA can you have a look for the part number for this please? Just need to check that i've found the correct set Cheers Phil

have you look at silicon hoses from Vanair http://shop.venair.com/ $400 (£200 with free shipping) for a set at the moment, i was lucky and picked up a red set for $200 a few months back, £100 for a full set now thats cheap! :-d

Try firebond out http://www.firebond.co.uk/ They put my car on classic car insurance im paying £270 thats with all mods declared (lowered, filter zorst alloys) When i did make a claim when i stuck my rocco in the back of a police car (dont ask! 8-) ) they where great and got it sorted out with no hasstle.

Yep ok will try my best to make this so i can meet a few peeps from around here
