Soo...I had a small fire this morning.

So on my drive to work today got to work and smelt burning and and see smoke from under the bonnet opened it and flames...

The N112 had fallen onto my mani and was on fire...Its been fine for about 9 months damn thing...its not to bad though it was only the plastic cover on the wire that was on fire the rest is just a little bit melted so i was able to blow out the flames could of been alot worse.

So its time to order some resistors i think and get rid...

Bad times.

know it makes sense

Not good, im going to throw a cable tie over mine, to make sure it dosent drop!

Do what i did if you prefer, i just moved all the n249 just above the dv wall away from the manifold. just about make it out, as its quite hidden.

looks cluttered

 

[Big_daddy]

yeh with the bc it does (temp thing ). It nortmal look like this. im happy with it, cant really tell as most of its under the tip. well thats the best option for me as i retained n249.

I used an ali plate as a temporary heat shield before I got on and resistored them properly, this was fine for the 8-9 months it was like this for.

I just pulled it off the rubber mount and screwed it through the hole to the engine where the N249 bracket used to be.

That's where a lot of people run into issues as above

carnt be more safer than this (unless you have done the removal) , mine are bolted to the coilpack fixing points. as below

 

[Reuvers]

resistors cost piss all and the instal takes minutes (if not less)

 

[greg]

I have removed one n112 and replaced with resistors but i want to keep the other N112 as im keeping the SAI system.

 

[daves ibiza]

come on guys common sense you all no it gets hot by there

 

[s1l3nc3r]

Well as you would expect ive now popped an eml light with it...

Still runs ok but just taking it easy untill i get the resistors which should be tomorow if i can find any..if not i will have to order some off the net. may aswell remove the sai while im at it aswell i spose...

i still have my sai as well and still running 2 resistors so no n112's and no problem at all.

 

[daves ibiza]

just remove it all mate ive done mine with resistors in place

I thought one of the n112's controlled the SAI? The one on the left as you look a the engine.

Mine melted ages ago, ended up with the SAI incorrect flow code, tried removing the SAI and using resistors and still got the same damn code and eml every few days

 

[daves ibiza]

not good

 

[s1l3nc3r]

Now fixed

My resistors arrived yesterday from RS so i set about today sorting it out took about 5 mins. cut the plug off wrapped the wires round bit of solder action then wrapped it all up with insulation tape.

But still didnt clear the EML light and came back on when i cleared it with vag-com...bugger i thought maybe id done more damage than i first thought.

Then i remembered i hadnt checked the fuses and bingo fuse 8 had blown so down to halfords to sort out a 10A fuse put it in cleared the codes rescaned and none found.

Going to set about removing the other N112 tomorow and blank off the extra hoses fron the sai and the actuator...

Im not 100% sure but i think im right in saying i can remove all the plastic black tube stuff from the sai but still leave it connected to the block and plugged in with no problems unless i read it wrong if somone could confim that would be great..??
