Fault codes!
« on: 30 August 2009, 17:02 »
I keep getting the same fault code 16500 = Engine Coolant Temp. Sensor (G62): Implausible Signal, ive changed the temp sensor (genuine one) and erased the code but it keeps comming up!
plus got a new one 00543 = engine exceded maximum speed (sound's scary!)

any ideas how to fix? :wink:

got a multi-meter??

to me it sounds like you've got a broken wire or poor contact going to the sensor  :undecided:

exceeded maximum speed is just the result of the remap raising your rev limiter... vw put it in there for warranty claims. go above the rev limit = warranty void!
