The MGF Register Forums

markvrs, I'm not sure which plugs you're referring to. With reference to my photo, it shows a blue plug, and to its left as viewed, a brown plug connected at right angles into what I think is the "hydraulic control unit" ? Blue and black plugs are the ones you need to remove and see if that would r...

Roverlike, I think I can answer my own question, having just seen Dieter’s mgfcar.de site. My VIN is 522563, which apparently means the car is MEMS 2. I’m not sure if it’s a 2J, or whether they are all 2J s ? If not, is the ‘J’ significant? If you have MGF VVC engine and since it is not MEMS 3, the...

Did you have a chance to read this thread: https://thebrm.co.uk/index.php?threads/ ... s-2j.8831/
Try to discconect solenoids from VVC HCU unit and see if that cures the problem. If it does then replace both solenoids and that is it.

Pektron fobs does not need to be resynced after battery change. Only Lucas fobs need to be resynced.

In case of MG F and TF mileage is stored in the instrument cluster.

Japan and Australua fob frequency is 315 MHz.

Maybe I was not clear enough. I suggested you to disconnect solenoids in relation to your high volatage and RPMs errors. Faulty solenoids can cause this kind of errors on MEMS2J VVC engines. Disconnect solenoids and try the test you are doing and see if high voltage and RPM errors will be present. I...

In your other thread: https://www.mgfregister.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=26692&p=202407#p202407 I wrote you following: Have you tried to disconnect plugs from two (2) Solenoid Control Valves and make measures without them connected? In case you have measurements orrect now, then you just need to ...

Have you tried to disconnect plugs from two (2) Solenoid Control Valves and make measures without them connected? In case you have measurements orrect now, then you just need to change both solenoid control valves. Disconnecting plugs from them will limit rpms to 5000, but that is just to test how e...

I believe that the early TF will share the wiring architecture with the late Mk2 (MY2000) MGF, with Lucas based electrics (Lucas BCU and 5AS SCU).

MG TF MK1 share some similarities in wiring architecture with MG F MK2 but they are not the same.

Nice car you have.

Have you checked ABS fuse is not burnt?

Yes, PScan allows you to program second remote.

Earlier cars used 3TXA fob Later cars used 3TXB, 3TXC or 17tN (aka 3TXD) fob. No difference among 3TXB, C and D (17TN) in disabling auto-immobiliser function. However you cannot use 3TXA on later cars. You can use 3TXB, C or D (17TN) on earlier cars. However once you used one of these later fobs on ...

Have you checked all connections to starter motor are intact? To me this sound like starter motor terminals are not connected as it should be.

Looks like you disturbed lock/unlock microswitches within your drivers door lock. Also seems like door lock is slightly jammed, maybe corrosion wise.

There are some other differences related to som electric stuff, but I would say they are not so much different.

Well I am pleased that I learned something new from this thread.

Reversing sensors were mostly done as dealer fit, and the usualy would not be mentioned in any wiring diagram as they were not mounted as factory fit. What you have is 4 sensors within rear bumper, connected to separate electronic box most probably placed in the boot of the car, covered by carpet in...

Have you checked fuse nuber 3 in under bonnet fuse box and possibly replace it?
