My Forge FMIC and projector lights...

[J@mes]

just thought id quickly post up some quick pics of my FMIC and lights... (taken on my SE k750i mob! )

front...

Forge FMIC...

front view, no bumper...

front view 2, no bumper...

old chrome projectors and current ones...

trial fit/look of new black projectors...




i fitted them 2 weeks ago yesterday and on the night i did it whilst driving on the motorway my engine management light came on and i got these codes...

17511 - Oxygen (Lambda) Sensor Heating: B1 S1: Performance too Low
P1103 - 35-00 - -
16514 - Oxygen (Lambda) Sensor B1 S1: Malfunction in Circuit
P0130 - 35-10 - - - Intermittent
16519 - Oxygen (Lambda) Sensor B1 S1: Heating Circuit Malfunction
P0135 - 35-00 - -


i cleared them and then last night (2 weeks later) they came back again (again on motorway!), but this time i had this code aswell...

16395 - Bank 1: Camshaft A (Intake): Retard Setpoint not Reached (Over-Advanced)
P0011 - 35-10 - - - Intermittent



bit peed off really! but it does say its intermittent!

any advice ppl? (mark/zoyd/warren etc?)

i mean all iv changed is the intecooler! so im surprised i got any fault codes at all!

u get any warren? or anyone else with the FMIC?


that asside i think the FMIC is phat! top end it has certainly helped i think. will be more beneficial once chipped!


thanks,
james

same first two as yours matey, had the sensor replaced and hey ho, its still coming up, im getting my coil packs replaced on tuesday as it could be them causing the misfire thats killing the sensors..... personally i think its the wiring.

btw how much were the lights? are they the fk ones?

how often does ur engine management light come on then? do u find mainly when ur on the motorway?

also u mention misfire!? my car isnt misfiring!

dodgy wiring did cross my mind, but i have no ideas!

what exactly do the fault codes mean? its it the lamda sensor/plug in the cat thats causing this?

thanks!

oh yea... lights are Ultra ones. cost £245 but i got for £210. they r RHD and E marked. and they have much better angel eye rings than the other ones... no 4 bulb syndrome!

 

[cordobabrendy]

my light comes on within ten mins of driving, or less if i turn the engine off and back on again.
the misfire isnt very loud, it feels more like youve driven over a bump in the road.
lights are mighty fine, wonder if they'd suit a red cupra...

 

[J@mes]

well my car isnt missfiring at all! well not that iv noticed! touch wood!

let us know how u get on and wat the stealers do/say!

i assume ur doin it under warranty!? didnt they say, hang on u have a FMIC...



and yea, lights would suit a red leon! would suit any colour i think!

 

[cordobabrendy]

nope no issues on the fmic at all, its a better designed bit of kit than the standard bits too.
they know ive got the forge dv and fmic, ramair ind kit and have done work before i cant see them refusing now!

 

[YerMother]

Nothing to do FMIC! Just dodgy sensor needs replacing! Just coincidence i guess!

Don't worry about the

16395 - Bank 1: Camshaft A (Intake): Retard Setpoint not Reached (Over-Advanced)
P0011 - 35-10 - - - Intermittent

It just comes on sometimes I had it around 20,000 miles ago never seen it since!

 

[m0rk]

Yup, not seen anyone with Fault codes post FMIC (unless it wasn't fitted right) but either way that wouludn't give the codes you have there.

I cant see how these codes relate to anything FMIC.
lambda is in exhaust or you have a didgy connection somewhere... checked it?

Camshaft one? a bit weird.. sensor related...

any other works done on the car recently?

 

[ZBOYD]

Not that it helps, but mines been fine. touches big block of wood as to not to tempt fate.

 

[Empi5]

No codes for me either.

 

[warren_cox]

I hate tempting fate, but lets just say I haven't seen anything unusual or out of the ordinary to date - everythings just fine.

Have those projector lights got a black box on the back that controls or uprates the electrical supply to the lamps? Wouldn't be surprised if it may be a contributing factor. Electrical systems are so sensitive, and any change in voltage or expected current draw from a particular part of the loom could cause knock on problems. Doubt it would be electrical interference.

Is the car running alright?

 

[unikarl]

What type of bulb do the projector lights use?

I was going to try retro fit projectors into my standard lights but i want a neater solution so i can still use my H7 Xenons.

 

[Ruddmeister]

I had the Lambda code come on mine pre-FMIC, it was the MAF that had actually failed....I guess the car was overfuelling or something and the Lambda sniffed it out .....Is the car down on power??

 

[Pabs]

looks good james -

 

[RichardBW]

I doubt these faults are down to the FMIC. The faults are not even air leak related so we cant even put it down to a loose hose fitting or something like that.
The Lambda probe errors are down to the heating circuit and not the exhaust gas regulation so it looks like the probe or the wiring itself in this case.
BTW...B1.S1 is the front probe (pre cat) if you were not sure.

Perhaps its down to the fact that the new FMIC is so good that it has cooled the air so much that the ECU thinks the heating element in the lambda probe does not work when it really is working

 

[cordobabrendy]

mines still backfiring like a wrc, if its fooked my cat etc i'll be onto them quicker than gary glitters new clown outfit.

checked what? the lambda connection into the cat?

btw i have a FULL blue flame system! (100 cell race cat)

no black box for lights!

the car is running absolutely spot on!

H1!
