PM would be great thanks :-)
Where they can be purchased from and pricing. I'm in New Zealand so would have to take care of the shipping side of things.
Thanks
Nice write up. Any more details on the Ade Reid one, looks super cool but I can't find any info about it.
Good work. Neat idea have the USB port so easy to access.
Thanks Bruce, If you still have it then that would be fantastic.
Update. Had a good look at the car at the weekend. The Distributor has not been replaced which makes me think Steve's guess that the CYL sensor was replaced was spot on!
I've checked the wiring to...
Thanks Steve,
I believe that the distributor has be changed recently, but will get confirmation of this. Hopefully I find the time at the weekend to have another look.
I think it's heat related...
I got approached by a Local Beat owner who lives about an hours drive from me who's Beat goes into crawl mode 30 minutes after starting from cold. The ECU is showing a code 4 (Crank Angle Sensor).

Cobra AK4138HF highly recommended.
Hi Crawford,
I've sent you an email about alarms.
Cheers,

Sounds like a cool project. I've been using my Galaxy S3 in my other car (not the Beat), as navigation via the built in dash screen. This works by using the MHL/HDMI output from the phone, then a...
I've not got one but I they do look good. Biggest issue would be the tuner not being set for UK (or New Zealand for that matter).
You could use a band expander to sort this, but for the price I'd...
Hi Steve,
Can't believe I missed this post! Not used to the new site layout, but have sussed it now!
Have PM'd you.
Sorry for not getting back to you sooner. I was going to say that it is unlikely to be a bad earth at the stereo, as even with no earth wire the stereo will still be connected to the chassis as it is...
When you say "the dash goes dead" does this include the air con and the instrument cluster, or just the stereo?
The old double entendre about "getting the horn" ;)
I could probably link in the comment about reverse thrust, but it's probably best not to go there :D
My horn gave up the ghost last month too.
Here is the replacement:

Wow, I'm surprised it was that easy. Good to know :)
Here you go:

Moving on to the cause of the flat battery (the lights being left on) I recall a post about adding a relay to covert the seat belt warning buzzer to a park light buzzer. I converted my Beat about 2...
Thanks, The clear engine cover is holding up well. I've had to re-glue the rubber around the sides, but no signs of yellowing. The UV is very harsh here in NZ so that would probably be the killer...
Hi Scott,
I have a good friend who is a mechanic who is based in Pukarua Bay. She does all the servicing on my Beat and has changed the CAM belt so will be one of the few over here who know the...
Fantastic news, that must be a relief and it sounds like the changes have been worth while.
I think the ECU needs about 200km to re-learn, but I don't recall anything idling problems when I...
Thanks :D
The boot spoiler is still the factory one, so there should be no issues with this and a boot rack that I'm aware of.
