  1. Yes dude it changes gear fine, manu button works also, just 4th/ overdrive is missing, and so is the kick down .
  2. Okay, thinking I had a boost problem is incorrect, took the car to Whifbitz today, and Paul test drove the car to confirm my lack of power is due to the gearbox not Kicking down.... I then took the car to a transmission specialist in Chelmsford also, one of the technicians inspected the box on a ramp only to tell me that the auto has an electronic kick down, and not a cable controlled jobbie... After he test drove the car he confirmed the car was not kicking down, and also the Overdrive is not working.... so I have 3 gears. Joy. So very confused, I have only had the car back a few days and ive got a migrane. It's just one problem leading to another and this time i'm so lost. I can quite easily buy a new TT auto box and ECU... but will that resolve the problem? Before all of this polava, the car ran fine imo. The turbos were a little worse for wear but non the less it kicked down and shifted well... Now, the only work that has been carried out on the car since this has occured is: Timing belt, Crank Pulley, Front Crank seals, Cam bearing tensioner, tensioner, belt all changed. HKS FCD fitted, Walbro 255 Fuel Pump fitted, Cam Gaskets replaced, Subframe sealed, Exhaust reseated correctly with the correct mounts, FMIC fitted, HKS air induction fitted, Rad hoses replaced, Turbo hoses replaced... Non of the above has even touched the autobox, so i'm lost, the fluid level is fine (transmission fluid that is). So lost. Anyone had any similar experiences? Thanks Dan
  3. 11 second 1/4 mile, nice exactly what I want out of my hybrids!... GLWS! And free BUMP!
  4. cheers guys, this will make good reading tonight . Paul Whiffins going to have a quick browse over the car tomorrow afternoon after its MOT, I honestly believe its a vac hose, but we wont know until inspection I suppose :/
  5. speak to ibrah dude, speedwells link is on the taders section, very good company, and im sure they can cater for what your after
  6. Okay, took the car out today since it having a Turbo Overhaul and everything all refitted, but have hit a snag... The car seems fine, its driveable anyways, I took it out and decided to give it some throttle on a clear straight from a dig, this resulted in the first turbo spooling up and absolutely flying very impressive! However, on the auto when it changed up a gear it suddenly lost boost and just poodled... Not too phased I suppose I decided to take it for a drive down the motorway, got to 70mph, went to push out into the fast lane so planted my foot down, and to my disappointment no second turbo :/, I can hear the first one spooling up but the second one is do sweet F A... Ive dropped the car off to a local garage for an MOT and also to road test and see if they can diagnose the problem, hopefully so, if not I think ill be dropping her off with Mr Wilson for a bit of loving . Before everything however the car was fine however the old tubbies were whistling excessively, so had them overhauled to hybrids with uprated bearings and other gubbins with CR Turbos, I've also had fitted a FMIC and hard pipe kit as the smic was knackered, and also new samco blue vac/ turbo hoses fitted.. Aswell as the above I have also fitted a HKS FCD, Walbro 255 pump, changed all rad hoses, all timing system (belt, pulley, tensioner, tensioner bearing etc...) So confused as to why its doing this.. Would fitting a FCD before going BPU fully (I havent got the decat pipes fitted just yet, nor the colder grade spark plugs...) do this to the second tubbie? Im completely lost, would hope (in the nicest possible way) someone has had a similar problem and can shed some light on the situation... Thanks Dan
