Re: Transporter T5 1.9 TDI AXC

Thanks for the clarification. I did read it right. I still have questions about it - more curiosity than anything but I'm not going to derail a thread over wiring design. It a European thing.

Thanks

Re: Transporter T5 1.9 TDI AXC

the injector / glow plug loom under the rocker cover and a round plug at the flywheel end of the engine Thanks. That somewhat explains it slightly better, although probably obvious to guys used to that engine. Originally read the insulation on the wiring at the plugs is very thick as "the insulatio...

Re: Transporter T5 1.9 TDI AXC

I tried to measure the current flow but the insulation on the wiring at the plugs is very thick and won't allow a clamp to record any data. Sorry, I don't understand this part. Is it because the insulation is so thick you can't physically put the clamp around it? If the clamp could fit round the ca...

Re: Golf 4 1999 - Mis- and Backfires

EDIT : Funny that you saw that "odd" Event, i noticed that as well, but i think it is a sort of "Fuel enrichment", because its on all tested injectors and with every snap. Here is a Picture of 3 Snaps with that "odd" Injector behaviour. Yep!. Very common on gasoline EFI on accel/high load like stal...

Re: VW Golf4 BCB not start

Absolutely no offence taken by me. It gives me food for thought, something I enjoy. But I haven't come across Brownian before so I will certainly have a read up. :D

Re: VW Golf4 BCB not start

My madness started from a similar event to the following images(captures was made with the same setup on Ford Puma 2002 /petrol/1.6l):30* diference on a non-vvt engine between first and second measurement(vvt or non-vvt does not matter at cranking and idle anyway)! :evil: Thank you. I don't think I...

Re: VW Golf4 BCB not start

I found myself in the past counting for crank pulses after TDC mark, to be more sure about timing events and angle, not trusting the rulers. No need to count. Use edge count if you require that sort of accuracy. Way quicker. :) Volkswagen_Golf_2002_Petrol_20161211-0001.psdata Which in fact makes th...

Re: Why won't these scan tools work on my Holden Commodore?

People have been saying in Australia that the LS1 powered cars are different from the U.S. delivered cars but I disagree with that,what I mean is that people have been saying they're OBD1.5 when in fact they have been confused by the Buick V6 powered Holden Commodores which have been OBD1.5 from 19...

Re: Polo 1,2 3-Cyl. 2006 BMD - Cylinder drops out

I agree with STC. A cranking compression will only ever show a bad engine, never a good one. All to do with volumetric efficiency of the valve train relative to engine RPM.
