[Delirious]

hey guys

i thought i would update this thread (as i hate it when people dont come back to the forum and tell you what the fault is once they have it fixed) concerning the original fault which was the misfire and cat destruction, now it cleared after all that work was done according to the T4... so all good however the burning of cats did not change and i'm now on my 6th and its also currently rattling and im back with the cat code so no change there lol, the physical misfire rumble/feeling always remained and never improved
Until.................
i managed to get a hold of the proper engine timing tool kit with the correct 190 plates a couple of months ago
so we set out to check it and found that only the one camshaft was in the correct position
so we put that right and set it up exactly how it should be
and guess what............... the rumble the misfire etc etc has finally gone
and oh my does it shift now, massive improvement across the board in acceleration and power and i no longer feel like im sitting in a vibrating diesel motor lol
so yes i found problems but the main one was the Engine Timing being very wrong, possibly from the factory as im certainly not the first with that problem, now for those of you keen eyed who will see i had the belts changed this was not set incorrectly by Andy , as he cloned what was there originally so i want to stress that its NOT something he has done wrong, it was incorrect before hand
so there you have it, problem is fixed and i can now buy a cat and hopefully still have it 12 months from now lol
i hope it may help some of you out who may be scratching your heads over something similar
cheers kev
