hello...again

Post by sol-lude » Wed Jul 17, 2013 8:31 pm

quick hello,

previously a 2.0 4th gen owner loved the car to bits sadly had to part with it but well lets say im backkkkk

i just picked up 4th gen 2.2 vtec 92 import in silver all the mod cons, still has the Japanese booklets and stuff.

have put in for MOT as doesnt have it has been sitting for 2 years but is in very good condition.

I do have a couple of questions i was driving it and the 4ws light started flashing and the car started juddering i turned off to get to mot station, any ideas.

also with being an import the speedo has been changed but the clock is still in Kilometers but when driving i noticed the speedo wasnt reading correct sayin i was going faster than i was, again any ideas would be appreciated.

pics to follow

Welcome.
Flashing 4ws light is a new one on me - when it goes into fault mode, the light comes on permanently. Not had it cause any juddering, either?

Suggest seeing if there's any codes stored, then doing Paul's suggestion (if you do it the other way round, you'd erase any stored fault codes before you could check them!)
