You can - just prepare for a little spray! Relay is driver side beside fuse box - easy to get to and ensures she won't blind you or set your engine alight.. its near right knee and is round as per picture.

Pull the bottom relay out - did this to mine the other day - B4 have a fuel pump controller in boot as well (left side near screw jack mount)

Just did mine - no probs with eBay bulbs (8000k)

Changed oil and filter...scratched the crap outta my hands changing plugs...

Replaced HID low beams with new 8000k bulbs and toothpasted lenses

Had same issue with my B4 - check coil packs are tightened down securely - also ensure they have clean contact with block as they ground through the bolt that holds em down. Did you have an auxiliary grounding strap attached to any of the coil bolts? (assuming coil on plug - sorry not sure of setup on that model)

Changed upper radiator hose before winter made it explode

Pulled intercooler, found out what was causing the squeaks and thuds in the centre of the engine bay: Pitch stop mounting bold was loose and clip that holds heater hoses to pitch stop was broken (hoses were rubbing and squeaking). Cleaned out throttle body and maf sensor while I was at it.... Tied up a few wires with cable ties..all before 6am

Not sure about batch/Blend quality control or whether its just daily temperature variation, but I do notice varying performance when fuelling from the same BP station (98 ) on Memorial here in CHC. Then again, mine starts getting pingy when I\'m caught in traffic (Heatsoak and Jap tune) so ECU probably backflipping constantly lol B4_685 via Tapatalk HD

Re-wired fuel pump for a friend who flooded her 98 VW polo in that massive downpour a few weeks back (big puddle wet wiring loom). Pulled out her brand new sony head unit to check why it wasn\'t working and discovered melted power/antenna and ground cables. Off the shelf VW-Sony \'plug-in-adaptors\' nearly caused a fire.... Edit: Paid the rent with soldering iron burn on forearm when tidying up

My 2001 BE5 does the same in cold weather. Once warm, smell goes away. When I get time, will pull manifold to have a look B4_685 via Tapatalk HD

Thanks for the tip - I have a rattle on drivers side wheel,- might take cap off to eliminate it as source B4_685 via Tapatalk HD

Sweet. Thanks for the info! B4_685 via Tapatalk HD

Bought one about a year ago from the UK - Denso impreza one - ordered and delivered for around $170 - fit my 01 BE5 RSK B4 ( Pre-Cat on manifold). Let me know if you want details B4_685 via Tapatalk HD

Sorry. Wrong thread

Pulled timing for det control(retard) til I can get it tuned for 98. It doesnt det til top mount gets warm in traffic. Been talking to SAS about road tune when I get time. Its my daily so cant afford to take it off the road - maybe when I get a block of days off.

Just a dumb question - what fuel are you running? B4_685 via Tapatalk HD

Changed gearbox oil to Nulon 75W-90 Smooth Shift - Took longer than expected with a scissor jack and jackstands....also got lucky with the right sized open-ended spanner cos the "K" Brace gets in the way of the drain bolt.. Pulled front sway bar bushings to check out their condition - as expected need new ones. Put a dab of grease on em and reinstalled til I get new ones... Pulled double-din kenwood headunit off to install ipod cable into CD Changer port - didnt work but now I have a permanent charge cable for my iphone 3

Just pulled 2 degrees of global timing and increased EBC duty cycle - car feels much more responsive, boost comes on quicker and VOD is more of a changeover. May have just been the cold air... Still some lag between gears - might have to clean BBOD solenoids/filters....thinking something may be sticking open/slow to close...cos once its back on boost, it kicks you in the back!

Removed cheap chinese MAF sensor cos it was shonky. Did an ECU reset on the fly at a friends place after re-fitting original good sensor....then realized it was a dumb idea cos the WIFI-IPAD ELM interface thingy cant tweak my idle...so limped home idling at around 650rpm at the lights (hose10 mod limitation...) Got home, plugged in laptop and tweaked idle and pulled 2 degrees of timing. Adjusted duty cycle (increased) of EBC and went for a run....performance has somewhat improved with the timing/EBC tweaks 😎 B4_685 via Tapatalk HD B4_685 via Tapatalk HD

Thanks man - yeah Rev D with this ECU Denso B4_685 via Tapatalk HD

Transposed new chinese \'no brand\' AFM into B4 - old denso unit a bit dirty...might clean it with carby cleaner and keep it as spare. Car starts - have to reset ecu and go for a drive yet...
