ronttuk Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Where do you re locate the expansion bottle or is there a smaller alternative? Also where do you mount the active spoiler motor when FMIC is fitted ? Sometimes you wish you just left things alone !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest aspire Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 iirc active spoiler no good with fmic. i think you need the alloy expansion tank, locates in front of battery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronttuk Posted August 3, 2013 Author Share Posted August 3, 2013 I know i cant have a working active spoiler but I thought I had to leave the motor connected otherwise the deadly triangle lights up all the time correct me if i am wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littler Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 The motor is what's in the way for the FMIC piping iirc, the red triangle is solved by removing the active spoiler ecu thats behind the stereo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

berg Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Mine bottle fits fine under the o/s headlight using the original bracket Mines na-t so not sure if its any different on a tt though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 I have a smaller expansion bottle above the FMIC, covered by a IC Plate. Not sure what it's from, but there are plenty of options out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sideexitsupra Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 I got hold of one from JohnD on here that sat between the battery and headlight. He makes the odd batch now and again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes you wish you just left things alone !! think you can get an expansion tank off whifbits that fits nicely between the battery and headlight. have a look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas_germany Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I went to junkyard and got a smaller expansion bottle off an old Peugeot 106, that fits on top of the fmic. This weekend I saw a supe with cutomized IC-Piping so the fmic sits more in the front. He still had the stock bottle on top of it and still had the fan between the fmic and the radiator.

ronttuk Posted September 2, 2013 Author Share Posted September 2, 2013 Does anyone know what the active spoiler ecu looks like as there's several boxes that look like ecu behind the radio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest aspire Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 did you turn the ignition on with the top dash panel removed? if so if it was un plugged it will trigger airbag light Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronttuk Posted September 2, 2013 Author Share Posted September 2, 2013 I did so I guess its unplug the battery to reset it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Paine Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 SRD sell an expansion bottle that fits in front of the battery and tidies everything up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronttuk Posted September 2, 2013 Author Share Posted September 2, 2013 I got one off a Honda Civic fits perfectly between the battery and the washer bottle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich.2211 Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 I just moved the stock one, used the factory bracket as well - it took 2 minutes and cost me one M6 bolt, two washers and a Nyloc nut. Bargain! It sits pretty much stock location just a little further down and a little further back (I have deleted air con radiator though which thinking about it is why more people probably don't do it this way).

Rich.2211 Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Couldn't do without aircon. It is a pain having to hold the button down for three seconds whilst the window fully opens I must admit, as oppose to the half second it takes to press the A/C button. Those 2.5 seconds really add up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest aspire Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 I did so I guess its unplug the battery to reset it no that work im afraid, you need to make a link up and goto diagnostic port and touch one terminal while intermittentley touching the error code, there is a link to do this and its a right pita, or goto toyota and clear that way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
