my D2a TD5 is a pile of dog poo!

yes never a dull moment:eek:

anyway... THANKS JC!! we have fixed the idle problem.!
apparently alot of the update D2's suffer from this issue from time to time and some get cured by an ecu upgrade and some get worse!! mine,, read worse:mad:

solution/test, fit an MSB ecu, thanks redback (and kerry) for the loan.. installed the MSB and the engine is compleatly different, neat, smooth exactly how the TD5 should be. so we flashed an early NNN fuel map on to my NNN ecu from the nanocoms map wizard and perfect!:D
thank god thats one issue out of the way, at least now i just have the auto to deal with. the new stock map hasnt had any improvement in the shift quality of the auto...and its so underpowered...need new tuned map:twisted:again..

finally getting somewhere

cheers phil

so hold off on swapping engines then??

i was just talking to your old man...and i was just about to ring you:eek:
pick up your phone:p

cheers phil

So whats the damage to the gasket??

Presuming its the valve body gasket?

Have only just had the pan off to clean it out and done a fluid change with Mobil synthetic trans fluid which seemed to solve a rough idle issue after about 400k's of driving.
I put it down to the fact that the oil was muddy brown and most likely was still the original fluid....

Cheers

Have done a auto oil change on a car once that was that colour, went into the shop a weak and slow slush-box.
New oil and presto! the back of the car would squat in reverse and lift in drive.

mine too gets better after new oil but its back to normal now.
will be in the market for a new ZF and a large trans cooler and thermo fan.

Having been on this forum for quite a while I do believe we need a slush fund set up to give JC a bottle or two of the finest single malt for his help on this site. Pat

Will an AC condensor fit?

How about one of your old intercoolers?

All else fails, i have a p38 oil cooler for ya, they're pretty big.

just an update on this, ive installed a TD5inside map to my NNN ecu and there is no miss..so whatever it was it was in the programming. a big thanks to kelvin for sorting out the mapping.

hopefully the maps we made for you sorts out the problems as soon as you get your boost box keep sending me multiple fuelling records and we can continue improving it until its sorted
will really like us to regain your confidence and joy back into your TD5

cheers and a pleasure working with you

cheers Kelvin
