Fred Dibnah and Adam Heart-Davis are excellent teachers because they have a talent for explaining.


They usually have some form of demonstration such as building scaled down model or a cut away section of the topic. Brilliant

So I guess the big question is, what happens next to the Little Red Rocket?

They also had practical, first hand knowledge of what they were talking about. Getting rarer now, most, so called, "experts" are professional experts, they don't actually do what they expound about.

Hi @DaveySprocket,
I will use the red car instead of the blue tdi.

The tdi MOT runs out on the 30th of April, owning two cars is useful as I can use one while I service the other.

The red car had a fault code two days ago. Front off side wheel speed sensor, it was damaged (scored). The previous owner has had two new front hub bearings fitted in 2022 and the sensors were changed to Pagid manufactured items. I hope they fitted the bearings correctly.

I'm gaining confidence in the reliability of the red car. It's insured fully comp with an annual milage of 5000 and has breakdown cover with the option of recovery to my choice of destination.

It's become the daily driver, shopper hopper.
Already driven up and over Holme Moss to check it can climb without over heating.

It will be getting a second hand 4 spoke steering wheel. The plastic steering wheel it has feels dry and uncomfortable. I also recently changed the gear stick to leather as it was also made of hard plastic. I'll keep the old stick incase I want to return the car to factory spec.
I've have one big job remaining, the original Audi polished alloy wheels need to get refurbished.
I won't be sending them to get diamond cut though I'll do the best I can myself to bring them back to a decent standard at home.
Thanks for the question.
I hope your having success with your projects.

This is where to look, I suspect it depends on the settings in Group 018. Couldn't see anything in engine coding relating to misfire counter.
Interesting to know what Group 018 shows.

Hello @PlasticMac
I looked at the misfire data in the control module, 01Engine measuring block screen and it was enabled.
While I was watching the data, it did momentarily flick to disabled and back to enabled.

Question: Am I looking at a helpful data screen here?
I did go to the other screen, where you can tick lots of boxes to measure the live data.

The results look good, zero misfires were detected.



With an engine load of 15.6% is the clutch dragging? EDIT pressed the clutch in it made no difference to the load.

EDIT: Information added after @PlasticMac replied: group 018

I think Group 018 gives the engine speeds at which misfire detection is enabled.

I had expected to see an engine speed in Group 018, but sadly not. None the wiser on the prerequisites for misfire detection. Will keep looking.
