power loss????????

[jp kelly]

the zed just seems to have lost all power, if i put my foot down in second gear lets say, it proper hesitates to pull, its like it tries then gives up and then manages to pull, but yet sometimes its fine? is that stcky vis valves or something?

[Bobdope2002]

did george replace your manifold when he had it in???

[jp kelly]

no just the clutch and coolant leak issues, and new plugs, why?

had this was a faulty lambda sensor, giving the ecu funny signals, and not injecting the right amount of fuel, now pulls like a train in every gear.

thought hed changed the manis too when he did the above work

id say the vis were fooked and needed replacing or at least fixing simple fix really just a bit of solder comes free on one of the connections

[jp kelly]

why did you think that?

[Bobdope2002]

why did you think that?

dunno when i visited the mani was off so i assumed ud had it changed

[jp kelly]

ermmmm why would my manifold be off

[Bobdope2002]

ermmmm why would my manifold be off

[Bobdope2002]

I just replaced my VIS motor with a recondition unit from MaxxedRoss, and my rattle has disappeared - so mine must have gone. However, I didnt have any serious performance hits because of it (I dont think anyway!) Ill be taking my old one apart soon so I will know for sure then.

only just got my 180 so im new to all this, but this last wekk ive noticed a little rattling only when setting off, could that be a vis gone then?

doubt it mate

maybe just sommat loose on the car remember the mk2's werent exactly built all to well compared to the mk1's

Have a listen to the engine with the bonnet up, if theres a rattle try and locate it. The VIS motors are at the side of the plenum. Im not sure VIS rattle would give you total power loss though??

well they wernt and you know it

u look at any mk1 and mk2 and look for panal gaps missing parts etc u will find the mk2 is missing a lot compared to the mk1

wish id never sold my mk1 120 as it were a much better car build wise IMO

In there were a few cost cutting measures taken with the mk2's
