2016 variable cam sigma. I used the app recommended in the instructions (OBD Home) and I also used Auto Doctor. Both connected to the ECU.
-
First impressions are good and super cheap. There is a choice of compatible apps including the Auto Doc. It connects to a phone using Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. As I say, I don't know what else it will show.
-
I bought one of these mentioned previously. I haven't had a proper go with it but it connected to the ECU and showed temperature, RPM, fault codes etc. It also graphs the data so I could see the coolant temp increasing. I am hoping it will show the TPS voltage and site. Incredible if it does!
-
Apologies for not understanding but is an annual flush necessary? I swapped to a blue coolant and change that every 2 years as per the instructions.
-
When you have the connectors out of the plastic carrier the next problem is that they won't pass through the bottom hole needed to change the bowl, or at least mine wouldn't.
-
Did you have any luck with the ODB reader? Did it connect to your ECU?
-
As above, my Sigma with a heater was very easy to re-fill. Didn't need a second go at it.
-
I have to say, I have never been keen on the Apollo wheel centre caps. Apart from the poor fit I don't like the look of them with the high gloss black plastic and faux bolt holes. I would have preferred a more simple flush fitting cap.

How is it going Beagler?

My 310R with factory radiator is rock solid at just over 80 degrees on the gauge. Winter, summer, road, track - always the same unless in standing traffic in which case it goes higher until the fan comes on. My manual says "the needle will rise from the lower (cold) mark to the middle part of the gauge, where it will remain while the engine is operating at its normal temperature." I think mine has only one temperature sender and the ECU controls the fan. I think the Duratecs run hotter. I wonder if yours has a different radiator which over-cools when the thermostat opens?
-
#23 will that work with a MBE ECU which is CAN protocol?
-
Yes, a big thank you to the organisers for another fabulous day at Anglesey Circuit. Thanks also to Steve Mansell my instructor. See you all next time.

Good for you to know that your engine produced its rated power before the modifications.

Advice sought – mapping session and fuel to use
StevehS3 replied to Nick Bassett's topic in TechTalk
Interesting topic. Is the reason because that with higher octane fuel the ignition can be further advanced (resulting in slightly more power)? -

Out of interest, when our 7s have a RR session what in addition to the fueling map is changed? Ignition map? Barometric pressure compensation? Cold start settings...? -
I have a pair in stock ready and waiting. Get 'em while you can!
-
Aren't driver and passenger side seats the same?
-
I change them when they hit the wear markers. 2mm if I remember correctly.
-
I have a new pair. Measured at 5.2mm
-
Looking forward to hearing about how it feels afterwards.
-
Enjoy the day. Very interested to hear how it feels after as I have a 310.
-
The two diagrams are almost the same except that the diagram in #27 is flipped ie viewed from the fuse side. The descriptions are clearer too eg 17= Cam Sensor instead of Acc Pedal. I will use yours in #27 thank you.
-
I have the exact same values of fuse but the CC diagram shows the fuse layout viewed from the rear (not the fuse side). The diagram says viewed from fuse entry.
-
Thank you. Looks the same as my 310R. I've saved a copy.

"It's a shame we went elsewhere" a shame for who? ;)
