Team3S: Blocking off the EGR on the TT..
Hi All,
Just want to know
if there are side effects in
blocking off the EGR pipe in our TT's? I
have heard
most ppl say do it.. and some say don't!
I blocked off mine
recently and it began to smoke once
a while when driving.. white smoke.. very
stinky
smoke.. don't know if its related.. and whats weird
about it is
that it does not smoke ALL the time when
driving... and of course when u take
it to the
mechanic.. it doesnt smoke! err!!
I have checked for oil in
the coolant reservor, water
on oil cap, burnt oil on dipstick.. all came
out
negative.. so it doesnt seem like a blown-by...
Anyways.. im gona
try to unblock the EGR tomorrow and
see what happens..
Someone
mentioned replace the PCV?? I remember RogerG
told me we dont need to worry
about that thing on our
cars... any input is greatly
appreciated.

Well to see when and why
its smoking - you have to know what the EGR does.
The EGR is an
Exhaust Gas Recirculation system. It introduces exhaust gases
into the
intake in order to reduce peak cylinder temperatures. The oxygen in
the air has already been burned, so it cant burn again, and the cylinder
temperatures decrease. Why do you need to do this? To reduce
emissions of
oxides of nitrogen. The EGR will close at warmup, as then
you want to get
cylinder temperatures up quicky. Its closed at idle,
as temperatures dont
get high at idle anyway, and its closed at WOT, as you
then want maximum
power. So the only time the EGR is open is a
mid-throttle cruise (2000-3500
rpm). So if thats when your getting
that white smoke out of your exhaust, it
may be a result of the closed
valve. If thats not when youre getting your
smoke, or youre getting it
at other times as well its probably something
else.
as an
aside - if you just told me that you had white smoke coming out of
yourexhaust, id probaby guess it was coolant, probably from blow-by.
That
would produce a very nasty smell. A compression test would
probably give you
youre answer as to that one.

Hi George,
That's the MOST expensive so
far.
There must be several hands dipping into the
selling
price.
Be of good cheer,
John

Team3S: Synchro 5 spd. problems
I was curious as to whether anyone is
aware of what causes this
apparently common problem in the 5speed trannies,
as well as the "plague"
which tends to hit the output shaft. Certain Alfa
Romeos had a similar issue
with
the 1-2 synchro, which it turns out - as a
fellow who spoke with a, or the,
head Alfa
designer recently told me - the
problem arose from the fact that the manual
called
for the same weight of
transmission oil as the rear-end, which was intended
to simplify
matters
for the consumer, or perhaps prevent them from using one in the
wrong
place.
The effect was to cause too much wear over time on the synchros, and
to
prevent the problem i was told the use of a higher than called for
viscosity
Redline oil would
cure the syndrome. At any rate, im kind of
glad in this respect that i've
got the auto trans.
but perhaps there is,
if not a solution, a decent reason behind this issue
for the 5 spd
owner.
Incidentally, I was a little hopeful of getting a response to the
electrical
issues that
still face me. Namely, the ignition keylock
position and release, windows,
and headlight
motor not working/alarm
causing the lights to flash and otherwise being
non-responsive. Anyone know
how to disable the alarm...? Thanks in advance
if anyone
might have a
piece of advice or two. I'm actually too broke to buy the
manual
for now
after purchasing the car.
regards,
john, 93 stealth es
