Hi Les, im in Glasgow and have a 1996 2.6 Coupe for sale, grey in colour

Hi Ryan, bored again today so I spent a bit of time looking around the engine on my car, the inlet manifold is unlike anything I have ever seen its an all aluminium work of art with the Throttle valve at the bulkhead end and behind the throttle is the EGR valve this seems to enter the manifold further down from the throttle so it doesn't seem to go in on the fresh air side of the turbo pipe. I did a bit of research on the inlet manifold it would appear there are no swirl flaps in the manifold just a rather complex little intercooler system for the EGR every thing on the manifold is water

same as this one gareth https://www.audiownersclub.com/forums/topic/17304-santorin-blue-avant/?tab=comments#comment-60833

You can do it with ODBEleven. https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=801754323980315 Best buy I have made for the car. Diagnosed so much stuff with it.

yip bit of a mare

Hi Ryan, I am guessing that they are talking about the inlet manifold and an educated guess would be that the swirl flap mechanism has failed, these monstrosities are a brilliant idea in principle, but being as on our engines they are cheaply made they tend to give problems as plastic limiters are fitted to stop the flaps from over running. It could of course be just good old fashioned gummed up manifold as this item has to deal with EGR gas as well as oil vapour scavenged from the crankcase ventilation system, I had this with my last cab which did not have swirl flaps but at 270,000

Effect

I've had bearing replaced, but mechanic says he doesn't know if it's fixed. He thinks he heard it again on a test run. I haven't heard it, though granted I've not driven much. So it's a waiting game. A £149 waiting game ! 🙂

I would like to upgrage from the multimedia to something that includes bluetooth, sat nav, and ideally the option to play audio through bluetooth. Has anyone done this or got suggestions that are reasonably priced? happy to spend a couple hundred.. I'm a paramedic doing home visits in the pandemic, sometimes for poorly people, and sometimes to vaccinate the vulnerable. So could do with actual sat nav, instead of my phone wedged in the centre console!

Hi Les Me too! When searching on Google I have found sites that have adverts from seemingly all of Europe so I can't do much more than window shop at the moment. There have been a few though but the prices seem to be £5000+ and not always based on condition. Where have you looked? I'm hoping to find something close to what I had back in the early 90's, a 1983 Coupe GT5E 2.1fi. Of course I regret selling it now but that was 25 years ago. Where have you looked? Adrian
