    Guys, my rev counter chip for the rear lights failed, I then tried to fix it by putting another chip from a spare rev counter, but... buggered up the board.

     

    I can get a whole cluster from a facelift (red dials) for really cheap, will this work or is it modifyable?

     

    All the lights seemed to work, but battery and ecu lights differ, in different positions...

     

    Any ideas?

    My sele had the left tail light on ever so slightly, changed the rev counter. All well. While afterwards same thing happened on right tail light. Cant see any burnt chips though on the new board. Both sides using the same chip or different chips? Still got the old board if I can maybe just replace the faulty chip on new board?

     

    Here is pic with clearly blown chip for left tail light, which chip is the one for the right tail light if not the same? Opposite side?

    Update: Battery tested fine, alternator also chargingfine. Also no interior or exterior lights that could drain battery.

     

    Still have flashing/dipping spedo needle though when high beams / indicators on.

     

    Earth wires seems fine, all lights wiring also seems fine... Maybe faulty spedo?

    May have find the problem... Yikes, seems to be... only a dodgy battery...

     

    In the meantime bought new (2nd hand) 2008 Toyota Corolla 1.6 Mmt Gearbox... I know, I know... but having had the selespeed for almost 6 years, I thought: Why not?

     

    Anyhow, Sele has been standing for a while, me not wanting to drive with ecu light on/dodgy maf, hence flat battery... Had battery fully charged at workshop, car starts fine, No ecu light...

     

    Will have battery fully tested this morning, if faulty, replace with new one, if not, trip to auto elec to check for correct charging/alternator.

     

    What is the correct size battery? Some battery shop replaced battery 3 years ago with smaller (646, 55aH) battery, I know there was a bigger one in there, I think 652...?

     

    Will update

    How can I diagnose the lambda without diagnostics? Oh, forgot to say that cat box has been removed when freeflow exhaust system was fitted. Never had any problems after it was fitted until now...

    Same problem here. Light came on few times while driving, I switch off, restart and light goes off after a while. Didnt realy bother to investigate further. Looks like maf has completely died of this. Got new maf, exact same problem again. Light stays on with 1km old maf... Can it be faulty lambdas?

     

    Light would come on when decelerating against downhill towards a stop, maybe because of excessive exhaust gasses?

     

    Must say though, that previous maf was a Pierburg make, and latest was Bosch, got it from Goldwagen, a VW / Opel / Vauxhaul parts store so it could be fake, as apparently the Opel corsa 1.7dti uses the exact same maf as the 156...?

     

    Also recently started noticing a fuel fumes smell coming from near fuel cap/wheel arch... Read it could be a faulty fuel pump...

     

    Could it all be related?

    Need some help/advice pleas

     

    Some rattling noise developed ftom brother's 155 twinspark crank pulley, he says comes from the toothed gear/pulley behind the big one. 6551450083fddeaf3734c760fc650f27.jpg

     

    Warned him not to drive the car but as you can imagine...

     

    Phoned me now to say he got stuck, noise got worse, car lost power while driving and cut out. Still starts but no power... Your thoughts?

     

    Also advised him to maybe do engine swop cause he experienced quite few problems over last year. I can get a accident damaged 2000 model 156 for R6000 zar, wich is quite a good price if the motor is still as good as the seller says, plus I can hack all the bits and pieces as spares for my 156.c4a37cee5ce3f9627658888ee821dbd9.jpg9a69c47fe376b237407ec64cf24961ae.jpg

     

    Is the two motors (155 / 156) swopable and if so what needs to be changed/swopped?
