Fixed my cooling fan problem... Basically had a p1540 code (coolant control module malfunction) got a new module a while back at the wreckers and fitted it. Still no luck so thought I had a got a dodgy module from the wreckers but I cbf changing it again through the winter as my thermostat is faulty so doesn't get very hot anyway. So today with the weather starting to get warmer again I decided to check the thing out again. I couldn't find which relay controlled it as a Dick somewhere along the line has torn the fuse pages out of the manual so about an hour of trawling through the forums and I came to realise that the engine cooling actually has 2 7.5amp fuses. One was there and perfectly intact which made me originally think everything was ok but as soon as I realised the 2nd fuse was missing from the slot I fitted a new one, dash light gone!! Had the car idling in the warm garage for 30 mins or so. Hits 92 and the fans kick in and drops back to 87ish. Did this 3 or 4 times... PERFECT!!!!!
Glad to hear you fixed it mate
After much farting about, the new engine is at least in the GSi. Still got the majority of the accessories to hook up, fill up the fluids and a few other bits to do and it'll be on the road again. Again, that won't happen till next weekend, but it shouldn't take too long to finish.
Oh, @adam_92 here's what I was talking about. For the uninformed, this is what brought down my last motor, just that bit of duct tape where there was once an outlet connector.

Yeah I thought that's where it was. That complete pipe came off the c16 motor as the one that came with the z18 was split/cracked on the end where the blue hose is so I replaced it. It came off the c16 like that so I didn't think there was a problem with it and had to fit the blue pipe bit to make it work with the gsi radiator.
Glad to hear that hazrd. They are unbeatable value for money IMHO. Really can't see how they can improve a street tyre from this level (in terms of performance per $, and grip vs longevity ratio)!
Then again, I have yet to try the Neova AD08, which gman loves, but then that costs more I think, and may not last as long...I am sure he can clarify on this!
Finally got round to putting my H SRi rims on the G!
