R26.R help needed after clutch replaced

Discussion in 'Mechanical - Engine, Gearbox, Exhaust etc' started by engine killer, May 10, 2017.

  1. Dear all,

    I just have the clutch replaced, a full set of Helix clutch, flywheel and cover last week. Unfortunately the dash prompted the "engine" and "spanner" signs and "CHECK EMISSIONS". The car runs normally and I just couldn't find any useful information about how to cure this. An archive from other forum stated this used to be a common issue "DF457 - flywheel target" but nothing about whether they have it fixed or not.

    I can see from the second hand section a lot of people selling their cars with single mass flywheel equipped, so has anyone got any idea how to solve it can shed me a light please?

    Thanks
     
  2. Hey fella, I had the same message after fitting a smf.

    The only way to get it fixed properly is to have it mapped out.

    I changed the hall sensor in the gearbox and fitted some powerflex inserts to firm up.the.engine mounts and touch wood its been fine for about a year with no warning lights

    Is yours single mass? Need to get it on a diagnostic thing and get the spanner light turned off.
     
  5. thanks.
    rstuning will be the one to map it out

    Don't think it needs mapping. Just one of those code reader things.
     
  7. yes, got that, done that, cleared all codes but it came back when it cruise down from 3k~4k rpm. cleared it so many times but no hope

    That fault is flywheel target programming not done, it might need to go on the clip to clear all codes and then you need to do a drive cycle in 3rd gear taking it above 4000rpm (i think it's 4) and decelerating 2-3 times in a row, sometimes it can be a pain to do!

    no hope neither

    bit of a shitter that. what's a map cost? around 300? expensive repair then. I had abs and spanner light on my car for about 3 months and it drove me mad so I feel your pain!
     
  9. if you consider it as a repair, almost 500gbp + courier to Hong Kong is very very high. but if you also count the performance upgrade from a reputable guy then it becomes reasonable (although i have to think it this way because i didn't plan for it). but the lighter smf really makes the car more responsive

    plus it won't need replacing ever, will it? Says on ktec website the DMF can go after 20k miles.
     
  11. eventually i have got it all done last night. the power gain just from mapping - grinning for an hour, great
