Heat light flicker...

[Cally]

So for one flash of the heat light yous reckon I need to take my car half way across the country to check it out?
How much does pip take to check fuelling etc?

I think its £50 per hour.

I\'ve been quoted £300+ vat for a full remap though.

you asked for advice its been given whether u take it is ur choice but if ur engine goes pop dont come back on here crying.it might be faulty knock sensor it could be any no of things but these engines do not like det and pip is an expert and it will only need setting up once on the rollers

[Cally]

What I am saying is tho that the car has been mapped previously and this light has only flickered that one time, is it such a serious matter that in the opinion of the more knowledgable people on the forum that I should put my car on a trailer and take it over 250 miles to pips. Is it even ok to start it to drive it onto a trailer? Cause I drove it home about 7 miles after the light flashed.

You could always phone Pip and ask him for a bit of advice first!

After changing my alternator I have noticed my Heat light now stays on permanatly.........the car is getting resprayed at the moment and I then hope to take the car to Pip for a general health check....

Anyone had this issue before...?....The car was perfect upto that point, did not even get a flicker. I have the PFC but no commander as yet so I can\'t get any readings............any ideas guys an gals

Thanks

I\'m running in my FD, I had the three flashes while cruising and the Apexi recorded 60 peak knock.
Normally it maxes out at 47 off boost at low RPM.
Hoping it was a one off, bubble in the fuel perhaps?
I had been testing the pump out of the car earlier.

Cally,

my heat light flickered in my old rx7. Drove it to Pip\'s to get it checked out, it was down to the map and that the injectors were being maxed out. The suggest made by Pip was to modify the plenium and add two extra injectors....never got round to it, Sold the car but made Paul (the new owner) aware of the suggest. Sure he was going to get it modified (counterzero on MRC).

[Cally]

Yer, charlie spoke to re:worx for me and they think it might have been the injectors maxing out.

is it such a serious matter that in the opinion of the more knowledgable people on the forum that I should put my car on a trailer and take it over 250 miles to pips.

IMHO If it happened just once at WOT then drive it gently to where you need to get it to.

Thats what i said too Cally!!!

need to meet up mate, your like ten mins away. I\'m in Stewartfield in East Kilbride. I know Alan Baird (does work on my Puma), and his boy, though forgot his name.

[Cally]

I have 850\'s all round though so dunno how they were maxing out... apparently something about overfuelling due to cold weather and a might need to upgrade my pump or something like that anyways.
I dont take my car out much at the moment due to still having jap tyres (lol) and its quite slippy out there just now. Once I get some wheels then I will be at the usual places knockhill etc. I am fancying a track day if you are up for it?
