    Hello mate, i dont really have any experiance with the schrick but from what i have read i think you can get a plate so you can convert it to obd2, as for a 2.9 throttle body, most of them are obd1 as they come on the corrado but if you can lay your hands on a synchro throttle body then ur laughin cos they are obd2! Dont quote me on that but i think its right!

    Hi guys i have recently changed my plugs and leads and also my dizzy cap after my vr would not start easy. Now its back on 6 cylinders but is still a pig to start and when ticking over its fine but if i throttle it it sounds like it missfires, if i throttle it slowly then its ok and will go all the way up the revs. I took it round the block and while i was gentle on the throttle it was fine but as soon as you give it some it dont like it and chugs and struggles tho i do have a blow at the manifold end of the exhaust, would this be a problem with the lambda sensor as vagcom brought up an error

    Ok, i have tried vagcom 311-2, 409.1 and the 812 beta none of which find a cable, when i plugged the cable in it came up as a usb <-> serial cable if that helps, i dont need it plugged into the car for it to recognise do i??

    hi guys i just bought this from ebay as recommended by someone on here http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=280311346654 but vagcom wont see the cable thus i cant diagnose my car Anyone used this cable and if so what version of vagcom should i be using?

    Hi guys im just about to change my spark plugs and leads but i also want to change my dizzy cap as the contacts look iffy to me, anyone know where i can get 1?
  13. sirleeofroy
    Yea i did have a look, they are few and far between but i spotted a couple of sets, gotta vagcom it first to make sure tho.... cheers

    Hi guys, just wondering if anyone knows of anywhere i can have my injectors cleaned in or around the bristol area? I suspect 1 of mine is blocked but have a vag com cable on its way to properly diagnose the problem and others!
  15. sirleeofroy
    yea nice 1 for that, seems that 1 is fine so who knows what this wire is for, i just hope its not what is stopping my car from running, trying desperately not to take it to a garage as im low on funds tho i will have a vagcom lead soon so hopefully that will give me an insight to the problem (and others lol)
  16. sirleeofroy
    No it seem the wire for the dizzy cap is in place...... the wire comes from the engine loom and has a brown wire, black wire and a blue/white wire if that helps...
  17. sirleeofroy
    ok hold on i'll look now....
  18. sirleeofroy
    Right thats ok on the coil then, just had the car running again but only on 5 cylinders, starting to think one of my injectors are blocked, as for this illusive wire, ive looked where you said but any plug i can see has something plugged into it?!?!
  19. sirleeofroy
    Really, do you know what colour the wires are meant to be? And where the plug is?
  20. sirleeofroy
    well at the moment its not running due to a dead battery but it was fine before, cant see anything else connected to the coil..... its the plug that i dont know where it goes that twisting my nugget really!!

    Hi guys i have an early VR6 with the distibuter and this morning took off my inlet manifold so i could get to my spark plugs, on putting it back together ive yet again been stumped by a plug that really should be plugged in somewhere but ive no idea where and also looking at the unit that sends the "spark" to the dizzy, the plug that plugs into that looks kinda bodged but had no problem running before.. thing is the wire i cant find a home for has the same fitment as the one that looks a bit dodgy.... i had a crazy thought that something had been done and it had been changed for some reason bu

    Hahaha, actually caught a cat with its head in 1 bout a week ago only wish i had a camera handy...
  23. sirleeofroy
    Well i know what ya mean, they are a bit big and when i first got it they were a bit intimidating but ive kinda grown to them!!! the noise that comes out of em is imense tho i will say ive been eyeing up an oval exit system so when the cash permits i'll prob get rid!..
  24. sirleeofroy
    Lol, take it by "the big guns on the back" you mean my exhaust?!!
  25. sirleeofroy
