Okay... So I'm stuck. Followed instructions and box is installed but no lights coming on. To save me undoing the whole thing does anyone know which end provides power.. The maf or boost ?/
Thanks
Car starts but loads of warnings and reduced power

With engine running ning I now get a flashing blue light so the unit is getting power.
Any suggestions ?

[scottchester]

Looks like a fault with the unit. Checked everything over and still not right. Plugged the bypass adapter in and she runs fine.
The good news is the 28 returns policy.

Sorry to hear about your trouble buddy. Did you confirm with Bluespark it is faulty.

[scottchester]

I didn't mate, they don't open in weekends.
Something not right and I assume if it had been the wiring that the errors would have been present with the bypass inplace as it uses their loop.
No too fussed, actually enjoyed taking it apart and learning in the process. Never done anything like this with a car before so pretty please with myself, especially getting it working again.
Bluespark seem pretty good so I'm sure a refund won't be an issue.

Worth checking the sensor under the battery is connected properly. Very easy to fit it the wrong way around which would give you the issues you describe, but would still work fine when you plug the bypass in

[scottchester]

Thanks mate. I double checked that and it was fine. Managed to find a video of someone fitting a tmc box on YouTube and they fitted it the same way too.

Hi there,

From the description of the problem I would also suggest that you check the connector to the MAP sensor plug. You can also fit this upside down. There are red stickers on each connector that say "clip this way up". You must ensure that the clip is on the same side as that sticker. It is very unusual for a box to be faulty, but of course it isn't impossible.

If it doesn't work with the bypass plug, then there is almost 100% a problem with the wiring loom or connections. The opposite isn't always the case though, i.e. if it works fine with the bypass plug it doesn't exclude the wiring loom or points of connection.

There are a couple of other outside possibilities, but if you give us a call on 0191 385 9005 I will happily go through this with you and get to the bottom of the problem.

Best Regards,
Edd

Hi all.
Just wanted to update you on this:
Firstly Edd and Gary at Bluespark were great from the very first interaction to the last.
As you can see from the above I was concerned about my ability to fit this before I ordered it, basically    I was right I am not good with this sort and the failure to get it working as my fault not Bluespark the guys offered to help anf even talk me through it but I declined purely because of the time I'd already invested.

The guys are true to their word.. 28 day no questions asked refund policy is exactly what they said.

In summary you can buy with confidence. these are honest guys who are happy to help and offer an iron clad refund policy

Wanted to clarify this as the above posts from me may be missread as issues from Bluespark when the issues were all me and lack of mechanical prowess

[edd@bluespark]

Thanks very much Scott. Its a shame it didn't work out for you, but if you are ever in our neck of the woods please come and see us and we will gladly install a unit for you.

Best regards,
Edd

[scottchester]

Best Regards,
Edd

Have these reduced in price? Is the 20% discount still valid for Forum members? .. I looked on your site and see that they are £174.99 for the esseesse but couldn't find a select for the 135bhp model ...... Browsing through eBay I see you have them on there for £149.99 so would the discount be applicable to your eBay ad? Or is it just an offer linked to your website?

Hi,

I have attached an image to show this.

Please make sure when purchasing that you select Royal Mail Special Delivery postage. The heavy discount on the item enables Royal Mail First Class as an option, however this is an error due to the cost price of the item requiring Special Delivery. If you select First Class your purchase will unfortunately not complete.
