  1. The 1st 2 times look and sound like the factory immobilizer in the ECU. The fact that the fault code appears in the ECU is pretty conclusive. I would guess at you have a intermittent fault somewhere along the line. If you have an after market alarm/immobilizer, having the factory one removed from the ECU wont cause any security issues.
  2. http://www.vr6oc.com/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?139931
  3. Looks like the battery shorted out.
  4. Sounds like the wheel alignment is out. PAS steering pipes are NOT aluminium.
  5. The MAF is the main and only load input to your engines management system. With out it the ECU is taking a CALCULATED GUESS as to the amount of load the engine is under. There is ZERO benefit from running with out it, as the MAF is correct in every air flow/density situation, and obviously guessing is not.
  6. You need to change the ECU too.
  7. 6463 isnt an update number, It is a revision of software specific to certain European MK4 R32's. Latest release for an AUE engine is 0008.
  8. R32 engines have VVT on both the inlet and exhaust camshafts.
  9. How long is your pedal travel? What is the piston area of the new callipers vs the old ones?
  10. That how I would do it Comes down to if its manual or automatic parts.
  11. Sorry yes you are right, I got them backwards. Atleast you now know what MSP pages is for
  12. 8L0 498 625 - If the parts came from an automatic car. 8L0 498 625 A - If the parts came from a manual car. Presuming the donor car had an engine code of BFH.
  13. It is likely close, it depends how good your maf is. At least you have OBD2 rather than OBD1
  14. IF its OBD1 your ECU will be adding 25% fuel trim, so you will be over fueling all the time If its OBD2, there will be no closed loop operation during cruising, so your MPG will suffer.
  15. Is it actually over heating? ie steam coming out? Replace the yellow 4 pin sensor that is next to the blue one in the water housing. You could test it by unplugging it, and seeing if the fan goes off, and the temperature gauge drops down. The yellow sensor is where the temperature gauge gets its signal. It also contains the fan run on switch.
  16. The 1st pipe links the cylinder head to the pipe between the MAF and the Throttle body. This is there to feed metered air to the injector shrouds. This not being connected will make the car idle incorrectly. The 2nd pipe also connects to the big black tube linking the MAF to the throttle body. This takes oil vapour from the crank case and passes it into the inlet tract for it to then be burnt by the engine. Again this not being connected will make the engine idle incorrectly.
  17. Let me know how you get on. Or if you dont really fancy doing it, you know where to come for an afternoon
