Good news so far

I fitted the new isv controller today, I have not taken the car out as yet but from the accelerator i can see a big difference, no lag now, so hopefully this has cured me long runnin problem

btw hanging down the center console next to the isv controller is another relay, has about 5 wires in it and one of those is a big red ignition lead, is this suppose to be there and if it is what does it do?

Cheers again for everyones help on this especially Gambit (Few beers owed there i think)

After 5 months of this problrems it's finally fixed so happy - All it was, was the isv controller! car is flying know, at last i can enjoy it

Big thanks to Gambit on this one!

Take care

5mths!!!! and it all was was a 5min fix!!! but at least it was sorted easily & most important...cheap!!!

think of how much you learnt also

as for the other thing hanging down behind the centre console. it'll probably be an immobiliser of some sort, or maybe even an amp

did it have a VAG part number on it, or was it an aftermarket jobby?

[Deefadog]

I know 5 months!! , i have learnt so much as you said!

Funny thing is that the isv controller arrived this morning from radicool vw - so i have a spare now! as the new one i put in was sent form 'bishthe fish' from the clubgti forum (free of charge also) dubbers are so kind! amazing help from alot of people!

The other relay hanging down looks like it's part of the original wiring as the wires are in the foam stuff as it goes back up throught the dash (although it could have been put on afterwards i guess)

It is definately a relay, i can't remember the number on it now, but it was either 21,24 or 28!

i'll check later

[Deefadog]

The relay is number 24! here is a pic, it's a bit crap but it's a tight space



Any ideas?

Also here is the sod that caused all my problems, got more circuitry than a Pentium 4!



Would you pay ?447 for this pile of sh!t:) It does not even play MP3's lol

[Gambit]

someone with a haynes should be able to tell you what relay 24 is for
