Haha quality. The type R loves all the abuse you can throw at it, all it asks is good fuel, good oil (regularly) and good maintenance. Do that and it'll love you forever
Hi Linus27, thanks I have spoken to TGM and they will do te job when the warranty is approved.
I am mostly in Hampshire, Aldershot so proberly see you around
Hope you get it sorted out. any honda dealer will recode the ecu for £50.Went today to TGM and had the mechanic look at it. He said that the timing chain is good and doesnt need replacing. However after scanning the car several times, its clear that cylinder number 3 is missfiring once in a while.Every couple of hundreds of rotations it missfires once. every 4-5 seconds it gives missfire code. Tried a different injector, spark plug, coil pack,checked for air leaks and checked compression on all cylinders(healthy results) but still get a missfire. He came to the conclusion that it could be the valve clearences or a different ecu required. Apparently if a coil pack fails it can mess up the ecu when it logs the error.
Tommorow morning the car is getting the valve clearences done by him.
If the problem is not cured then I will contact the warranty to claim and buy a new unit.
The ecu will need coding to the car so if anyone can provide some phone numbers or details would be nice.
Thanks
Rule 1
Mechanical spot on before modding
Hi was he working on the engine block or head cylinder ?
