Oulton Park 24th March

I'm not i love with my mk3 atm, it's giving me some real grief, have had the engine out again, this electrical problem is doing my head in.
Could end up breaking it if i can't find the problem

What do you mean it shat itself, the mk2 gearbox's are normally quite good, some i know have and are running big power okay, the mk3 was the weak box

 

I bought a 1.9 diesel gearbox, swapped my diff over and worked a treat, was only £69 + delivery.

I have walked away from it at least 3-4 times already, that's why this morning i pulled the engine out once more to have a really good look over it to make sure it's all connected as it should be.

 

Sorry mate
Just had a look and can't find the details on ebay, was a long while ago, 2015/16 i think.

sure it was ND0008 or ND0000 or something like that.

No nothing obvious, did push a cable through the big rubber bung, so while the engine was out, pulled it out and had a look at the harness, couldn't find any cut wires

So the engine is in and just needs connecting up etc

 

It'll be the bulk ring then, mine was jumping out of 6th, the parts were silly expensive so that is why i bought a diesel gearbox, was told it was virtually the same and to be honest i never noticed any difference in speed in each gear.

 

Yes well it was when i bought mine, think it was less than £100 delivered, has yours got a lsd, if so get it swapped over

Not that i can see, i'm very careful putting the ecu plugs back in as i know some can be a shite to do, checked every fuse in the car that i can find.

 

I did take the heat shield off at the back of the engine, had to reshape it slightly (will be explained later) so took the engine out to check the wiring behind there, thats where the abs pump is located as Clip said that there wasn't any communication with the abs, i thought i might have dislodged the plug or something, but it all looks good.

Another thought was the ecu internal battery had failed but apparently it doesn't have one

 

I also might have to pass as well, went to Renault this morning and spoke to the parts guy i deal with, explained to him my problem, he said you would be better off going somewhere else to try and sort out the ecu problem

 

Its doing my head in, can't get any answers or even any information, if someone say it needs to get reprogrammed at Renault then i would quite happily pay the money, but after my last episode there i don't want to waste my money or time.
