    Actually you can buy all the parts to fix the speaker. You can buy the neoprene surround, as well as a carbon fibre cone for the centre. You can even buy the correct speaker glue! So you don't have to ditch the Bose speakers if you don't want to. If you add some foam sound deadening to the inside of the door and add a foam speaker mount, you will drastically improve the sound quality, by only spending around AUD$25, instead of $100+!

Let it air dry for 1 hour before putting it back.

    Great video, Luey, thanks for sharing! Are the sealed rubber cups necessary on the Lotus? How do the LED bulbs cool down? Did you put some vents in the cups? On a previous LED headlight conversion I did on a motorbike, the sealed rubber cups made the LED bulb overheat and fail since the LED fans were recirculating the hot air in the cup. Since it was a motorcycle and the lights are very exposed to dust and dirt, the only way I could use the sealed cup was to use a passive cooling LED bulb (with a copper/stainless steel cooling braid that could stick out of the rubber cup to cool the bulb). I am hoping that on my Elise Cup 250, I can get away with not using perfectly sealed cups.

    • @LueysGarage
      @LueysGarage 4 месяца назад

      Thanks I think it is necessary to have the cups since its not fully sealed behind the headlight, the wheel arch liner only partially prevent water and debris from entering. I don't think overheating is an issue for the bulbs I bought since apparently they run quite cool, they have a fan built into the back of the unit. It is a good point about recirculating hot air but so far I haven't had any issues at all. It might entirely depend on what bulbs you buy

    I'm planning to change the radiator on my 156 2.5 v6. Has anybody done it or have some pointers for me? Should be the same process, no? Also: when flushing the system the first couple times with water, do you leave it running with the reservoir cap open? Do you wait for it to cool down before releasing the lower hose during the flush? I'm asking because I'm worrying about the thermostat closing and trapping a bunch of water in the system.

    • @LueysGarage
      @LueysGarage 7 месяцев назад

      Yeah same process really, all the cars of that era are very similar. Leave the cap open and don't let the car heat up too much. Do it a few times is fine, you'll never get all of it out on the first time but if you do it a few times it'll get most of it out

    Question: would oil seepage form faulty camshaft sensors throw a bad signal to the ECU and thus result in a failed Co2 emissions test?

    • @LueysGarage
      @LueysGarage 7 месяцев назад

      I would say this shouldn't happen with the cam adjustor magnets but it could happen with other components or sensors

    • @goinsouth5187
      @goinsouth5187 7 месяцев назад

      @LueysGarage But oil seeping from the cams sensor wire harness to the ECU would malfunction the module, would it not? I've already replaced both O2 oxygen sensors, but exhaust emissions are still very high. Also, the ECU is not throwing a fault code or engine warning light. What else might it be?

    • @LueysGarage
      @LueysGarage 7 месяцев назад

      @@goinsouth5187 its possible but if the oil has gotten to the ECU etc I'd expect worse symptoms than that, did you check the plugs to the ECU to see if they have oil in them?

      @goinsouth5187 7 месяцев назад

      @LueysGarage No, not yet. I'm having it checked on Tuesday next week. My C180 is driving perfectly but burning a lot of fuel, and Co2 emissions are 3.7% at 2,700rpm when they should be below 0.20%.

      @LueysGarage at idle, fuel reading can be as high as 14 or 15 lites/100kms. The lowest I've managed to get it on the motorway is 9.2 lires/100kms. Ideally, it should be between 7 or 8.

    • @LueysGarage
      @LueysGarage 8 месяцев назад

      So this was a few years ago and honestly from my recent experience you don't need to change the capacitor, they are fine. Just reattaching them to the PCB solves the issue 99.9% of the time. I do still have spare ones incase I lose one or there's some obvious damage. Sometimes the contacts can bend or wear out for example.

    Hey Luey, we're (my mechanic and I) having trouble with my 2007 Alfa 166 3.0V6 Sportronic ECU and it seems to be the immobilizer that's playing up. I've come close to sending the ECU to Europe to be "virginalized" but chickened out because it's very expensive and not a guaranteed fix. I have opened the ECU and the capacitor seems solid. I was just wondering is it worth removing the capacitor and replacing it using the method you used here. If so, what's the best way to remove it? I realise this is an old vid so any help would be greatly appreciated. It's a lovely condition 166 and I would love to get her going again! Thanks for the vid and info. Greetings from the Bay of Plenty. 🙂

    • @LueysGarage
      @LueysGarage 9 месяцев назад

      I think we've emailed each other a couple of times. My recommendation is to courier it to me and let me check it first. The capacitors can look fine but the connection could be dodgy. Also best to take a video of the exact symptoms so I can see if its actually ECU or not

      Hi, It seems you forgot to reinstall the filter capacitor in each tweeter. As you can see in you video, the old teweter (each tweeter) had a yellow electrolitic capacitor series (the component that looks as yellow cilinider). This works as a filter to avood bass frequencies to go for the tweter. Otherwyse the tweeters will be killed soon. Please replace the capacitors quickly...
