    Decat downpipe

    I have an astra coupe cabriolet and the flexi is starting to blow. Which is now a good opportunity to go for a decat downpipe, but they seem like trying to find a four leaf clover. Does anyone know where I can one from without trawling endless threads? ;)

    cam cover breather pipe

    Would it be ok to have this vent to air routing down towards the ground rather than to a catch tank?

    Uneven idle

    as far as I can see I have no air leaks MAP pressure at Idle is around 5psi (not sure what its suppose to be) Airfilter clean, new fuel filter on (this was seeping through the case slightly!) and tried injector cleaner through a couple of times. I've done the Fuel rail pipe mod so I know that's...

    Uneven idle

    Here are the vid clips I promised. Couldn't get one of the engine itself it just came out as noise. The clips of my phone is using the app torque pro and showing both O2 sensors. If you have some good quality speakers you can just hear the engine in the background Idling (I can when played to my...

    Uneven idle

    I have no history of the chains as the engine came out of an astra and put in before I had the Vectra. Although I know the person that did it and they were told the engine had done around 80k. I've done approx. 20k in the 2 yrs I've had it. so I would say its done 100k. it's got the tensioner...

    Uneven idle

    would the cts give a false reading on the temp gauge. I have had torque pro connected and that hovers around the 90deg area and seems to correspond with the guage. Also on torque pro, the O2 sensor fluctuates up and down in a fairly even manner which I'm lead to believe is how it should be (I...

    Uneven idle

    well, took the throttle body off today and gave it a good clean and didn't make a difference so took the cam cover off to expect to see the timing chain sagging, but it wasn't. it was tight with only a tiny amount of deflection when pressed (is that right?). No signs of wear at all and all...

    Uneven idle

    cheers 4 the replies I thinks its the worse case scenario, I'm gonna be taking the cam cover off tomorrow to confirm. Just thought there might have been something else I missed. throttle body was cleaned a while ago so it don't think it could be that. although i'll give it another clean...

    Uneven idle

    I have an 02 vec b that has developed an uneven Idle. some days its worse than others. engine pulls fine when accelerating and cruising. I've changed coil pack, front O2 sensor, Blanked egr valve, checked manifold and flexi with no obvious signs of blowing. I do have fault code appear on the...
