WTF!!!! HELP NEEDED PLEASE

[yakuza racer 16]

i have a 12 valve vr6 jetta,

my issue :

water pipe broke, got a replacement pipe and changed it and ran a connector pipe from the auxiliary water pump pipe that sits just to the right of the tappet cover.

now:

my car stutters when i drive it, i mean no pull at all, doesn't pull clean at all.

problem areas checked:

plug leads ( they are 2 months old so cant be those)

going to try and do a soft CPU reset

also there is a round "plug" that is not seating correctly but i managed to get it seated ( found just next to the "pump" i ran a connector through, so now there is a plug that has no water thing to go through

Please for the love of all things, help me

ya not making much sense to me mate, you got anu pictures of the bits you changed and the bits not connected to anything. basically sounds like you buggered a connection somewhere.

take lots of pics and post em up showing what you replaced what you disconected and all that malarky

ok i took out my aux water pump and ran a connector through it.

Also the big round plug which connects the inside loom to the engine loom is faulty or something like that, im busy waiting to smoke finish then im going to put my negative battery cable back on ( soft reset if im correct)

first things first,

take out that bit of pipe that bypass's the aux water pump, you will bugger ya engine, the pump is there to provide flow once the ignition is switched off coz the vr heads run real hot and not allowing em to cool correctly will cause em to warp and blow the head gasket.

and then try seperating the large loom connector and checking the pins inside that, if you put it back bent you may of broke one of the connectors,

if these dont work you will have to get it on vag-com

thanks man, placed it on VAG COM and came up with two error codes, crank sensor and something else, but cleared it and the car is driving worlds better, im going to try and fix the aux pump and put it back...... the aux pump is totally outta my car now, but since i've replaced my starter it seems to have been cooling down

strange i know...

PS what is the operating temp on the vr6, cause my temp goes as high as 98
