Engine mod
Hi Guys , Sorry to any girl owners, but lets face it alfas are probably the
only real mans car on the market! I bought an engine mod off of ebay, and it says it should be plugged into the IAT or Coolant sensor, but i'm having trouble locating either one of these and the seller seems not to no much about alfa engines as this mod is universal an the only instuction he has given me aply to a different car. If anyone can direct me or even better send a picture of the locations that would be great, Also has anyone fitted one of these thing and how good are they? My alfa is a 156 1.8TS (1999). Kind regards Simon. -- Message posted via CarKB.com http://www.carkb.com/Uwe/Forums.aspx...romeo/200612/1 |

Why am I not surprised? > If anyone can direct me or even better send a picture of the locations that > would be great, I doubt anyone here will have fallen for that old scam. > Also has anyone fitted one of these thing and how good are they? No, no-one has fitted one because they don't do anything. You've bought a resistor that 'tricks' the ECU into believing the car is running cold all the time - all this does is uncrease the fuelling level, meaning you're running rich all the time without delivering any improved performance. All you'll get is worse fuel consumption and possibly increased engine wear - you'll certainly end up dumping unburnt fuel into the catalyst and exhaust system. > My alfa is a 156 1.8TS (1999). If you want more power, trade it for a 2lt or a V6. -- SteveH 'You're not a real petrolhead unless you've owned an Alfa Romeo' www.italiancar.co.uk - Honda VFR800 - Hongdou GY200 - Alfa 75 TSpark Alfa 156 TSpark - B6 Passat 2.0TDI SE - COSOC KOTL BOTAFOT #87 - BOTAFOF #18 - MRO # - UKRMSBC #7 - Apostle #2 - YTC # |
