scottyd Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 hi guy need a little info on a loom for a mk6 rs2000 im just away to buy a new van with a rs2000 fitted but the loom it is running is an edis4, the van runs spot on and pulls very well but doesnt tick over that good. and info or idea on this loom bn used in the van? would i be best to put a full mk6 rs2000 loom in it or leave it as it is? cheeRsdicko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScORTED Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 leave it as it is it all the electrics are working right, the mk5 loom is simpler than the mk6.compresison check it, I4 engines often crack heads and its more expensive to repair than replace the engine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScORTED Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 unless your getting the van for sod all I'd check the engines ok, it might just be a leaky idle valve or a split vac hose but it could be a massive PITA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyd Posted April 6, 2012 Author Share Posted April 6, 2012 the idle valve is that the bit that bolts to the side of the air box? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScORTED Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 it shouldn't run without it unless the throttles been bodged partially open, I'd say theres probably going to be a lot wrong with this if someone that skilled with mechanical things has been near it!

scottg17 Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 (edited) Common thing associated with a blown head is you sometimes get a wooshing sound of water in the passenger foot well when revving/accelerating I remember seeing a guy that lived out back of my house with a chavvy shitheap xr3i with the most ropey bodged rs2k conversion youd have ever seen using.... http://www.powertoolsdirect.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/h/o/hozelock-2292-hose-nozzle-bulk-10.jpg As an idle control valve :( :( Had it attached to the pipe that runs to the inlet manifold where the old ICV was. Could have slapped him Edited April 10, 2012 by scottg17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
