I m close to buy the same product for both the sills ( 2 or 3mm) and under the carpet (10mm) from my S3 FHC. I found several suppliers here in France. You should be able to find the same kind in UK.

Hope someone can help.

I'm close to buy the vinyl to retrim the interior of the body from my S3.
Can someone let me know the length to purchase considering a material width of 120mm.

I m going to use a 6 cylinder rev counter....
I ve found one with a clock. Even if I ve already one on the dash board. I found it nice.

Yes,
I've already thought to use a 6 cylinder rev counter. there are many ones on Ebay quite cheap.

I've done a test and I confirm that the signal I was talking about allows the rev counter to run. However, because it comes from one half V12, it counts only half of the turns! There is one wire coming from the second amplifier. I do have to use the 2 signals. How can I do that ? Do I've simply to u...

Thank you Marek.

Hi,
I've an XJS engine with the Marelli ignition.
The signal coming from one of the amplifier goes through a 6.8Kohm to the XJS counter.
Can I plug directly this signal without any resistor to the input from the S3 Rev counter ?
Thanks for your return

Not one but 2 problems on the fans. Bad contact into the connector from the Otter switch and a grilled ground cable connected to the relay. Yesterday afternoon I ve done ~1km on the road. All sounds good. A few meters on the 5th. https://youtu.be/_kn9hV8CU5I https://youtu.be/oL3UIERpyRY Next step is...

I fine that the AAV I ve restaured using a bulb which works @85°c is a bit long to allow the engine to comes to idle. I will find another one. I ve another topic to work on: the...

Hi Marek and Philip, I thank you so much for your deep explanation. It is always helpfull to get information from you. You both have a serious experience on the V12. For weeks, I was cleary turning around. I've verified all 2 or maybe 3 times, the wiring harness, all the connections, all the modific...

With the fact that nothing seems to happen with the vacuum applied manally, I'm looking now for a new Marelli ignition ECU.
Hope to find one soon.

I do not have the scilloscope and the frequency generator (this is what I used to emulate the EFI ECU) anymore. We ard still in quarantine. I need to wait a few days before going back to work and be able to borrow the equipments once again. What i said is that nothing seems to happen. I will try lis...

On your question : "One last question: When the engine runs, can you hear the injectors clicking? (mechanic's stethoscope or long screwdriver or wooden dowl)" Yes, I've tried with a wooden dowl and I've been able to hear the several clicks done on each injectors. As I do have a second set of 12 inje...
