    Car decided to throw a code tonight... P0170 Fuel trim malfunction bank 1....

    now to work out if it is the AFM, O2 sensor or the map that is the issue. hoping it is not the AFM only done 400km on it.

    sadly they have 3 listings on their fleabay account, for an audi, a z20let and a vxr corsa all intake hoses.

    Click here to enlarge will check them out on facey when i get home but if i can get factory replacements that would be a start as no one lists the part numbers and all the hoses for the 1.4 xc and the 1.8l astra look different.

    to assist your code have you got an obd2 hand tool at all?? if so you can monitor the o2 voltage/% to rule it out,

    in saying that when my car was throwing that same code it turned out to be the damned egr valve which i ended up blanking off and suddenly my car felt normal again and the shuddering and stalling completly stopped with a $14 piece of metal Click here to enlarge

    then again its no secret the z18xe is one of the worst designed engines ever -.-

    Timing belt that runs the waterpump and breaks after 60,000ks, 92 degree thermostat, useless EGR valve that does nothing except blacken the throttle body and make your car run like shite,

    from an engine that has so much potential, its stupidly restricted from the factory :P
