it would seem that other people on the other part of the forums are TOTALLY f**kING USELESS lol
i put up two threads one in the garage and one in the mk4 section and numerous people have looked at them yet no replies! with all the people on here would have thought at least one person would have replied or something!
-
Im off to the garage :whistle:
-
still not got that 20vt going?
-
well heres the story......
turns out was the ecu so we had another one unlocked..
put that in worked great, mate tested it etc started to drive it home, overheated and blew on the motorway.
so back down there, two weeks later took another agu out of an A3 and put it in.
started up wonderful etc etc, drove it fine yesterday day, then because i had a battery drain of some kind? (which i never had before the conversion was done) he said disconnect the battery when i got home..
which i did, and now well..
when i went to start it yesterday, it starts but doesnt rev past 1500rpm, i can have the foot flat on the gas and it will bounce to 1500 then back down to idle. wont pull off. fault code reader says throttle body?
-
Totally agree mate, although i might sound biased i noticed a very long time ago that the mk3 section tends be one of the most active and helpful on the site.
-
fooking hell bud, thats been a fair headache with that conversion :sad:
-
Hey CJ how much of a squeeze is it to get the cooler pipe past the tip ,looks a tidy job you done
-
im sick of it to be honest! if i had known a "3-4week conversion" as i was told would end up taking nearly 4 months and im still not driving the car properly i wouldnt have gone near it!

Its not that bad tbh, just gotta watch that the gearbox weight isnt interfering with it. Id say prolly better mounted were the screenwash bottle is and swap the bottle over to the mk4 side though
-
What! route it other side of the battery? ill look in to this :wink:

This doesn't sound right! You shouldn't need to reset it if you disconnect the battery. Plus battery is draining. You sure the wiring is 100%?
-
iv been reading and it says sometimes might need to vagcom it, so going to give that a try later! but yea wiring 100% i think they were just sh!t batteries.
-
Seems all really weird to me... have a feeling your going to have loadsa problems unfortunately :sad:
-
have you done throttle body adaptation ? its quite simple to do, i had the same problem on a passat after disconecting the battery. you might need vagcom to do the adaptation.
