Pain in the arse ain't it. I tried scanning it for codes but nothing, gunna have another look at it tomorrow

The person before me had cut the block connector off the back of the dash light so I had to source a new loom secton I haven't fitted it yet, but I have a fault code come up saying wrong ABS coding! Tried a few different codes as mine is on the crossover year but still nothing. Swiped a different ABS ECU from a VR as well, but I haven't had time to try it yet. MOT aunt until June so plenty of time yet

That's horse sh*t, the last owner of mine was a bit more forgiving and just took the fuse out lol. Yh you also gotta get it running right before you think about stopping it

Haha, aint that the truth lol! Well fingers crossed for today, the car might make it to it's first meet this evening!

How did it get on?

Didn't make it off the driveway

after repairing the loom section, the auto electrician put it on his fault code reader and it threw up code 00519 which is MAP sensor no signal/ no positive pressure. Now I know that all the vacuum lines are in good condition and not blocked, because they were all replaced with 3m I'D silicone lines, there can't be an air leak from the manifolds because all the gaskets were replaced and everything was torqued down to vw spec, which means the MAP sensor its self needs checking. Seeing as at sensor is in the ECU housing and soldered to the motherboard, its looking like I need to get the ECU checked and fixed!
