Post by: GTIcheeseman on 29 May 2012, 15:39

what are peoples thoughts on it?

I wouldnt personally do it unless the pipes were corroding.
I did mine but only because the pipes were like mush, and I had a spare resistor lying around.

Does make the bay look a tad neater too.

Does it thro up any codes or problems? For a 2 quid resistor I don't see the harm you got any pics of what you connect the resistor too?

You connect the resistor across the plug you remove from the unit. Mine still threw a fault code though but R-Tech mapped the fault out for me  :smiley:

It does let you remove a load of vacuum tube from your system which is one less source of leaks.

It won't do anything on an AGU but AUM/AUQ it may throw up a code even though the resistor is fitted

cool so you jsut conect it to both pins on the plug

I have used the same resistors for the:
N249 and N112 delete
SAI removal
Carbon canister delete
So if you plan on doing any of these order more  :laugh:

I just left the n249/112 plugged in with no vacuum line connected to them. My SAI connector is just left unplugged.

No engine management light as of yet :)

If it comes on I'll get the codes mapped out. I don't buy the whole resistor thing.

the resistors just make a 'loop' as far as I am aware causing no codes to be thrown
