Ben Seabrook 4 Posted March 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh :@ :@ :@ please please help peeps !!drove the car yesterday afternoon and on the way shopping the rev needle suddenly dropped to 0 the oil light came on and the engine cut out - turned the key and it fired back up drove to the shop no probs - checked obvious probs and nothing out of order under the bonnet. Then this morning driving it after about 5 mins it did it again the rev needle drops instantly to 0 oil warning light comes on, turned the key and nothing !! coasted to a stop, checked under the bonnet again nothing obvious, waited a few mins then tried starting it and it turned over but would not fire left it again for a few mins - it fired up so started to drive home- then again the same prob with the rev needle and oil light, it would die but I turned the key and it fired up again. However eventually and rather convenitently it finally died outside a garage !! puched it onto the garage and the friendly mechanic gave it the once over while I walked home to get vag-com - when I got back he thought he was an electric prob due to the way the engine was behaving then we stuck it on vagcom and it came up with the following faults - 553,17978,543,65535,513. Then while we were poking about we noticed the following couple of things (see pics below) both connected to the MAF - please please help any ideas ?? as this is seriously driving me up the wall :(in the pic - what are these loose wires for ??one of the wires into the maf has been worn would this cause the probs ?

nivag27 5 Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Ben I know this is prob not the time to be cracking jokes but your engine bay is still looking a bit dirty (sorry) Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Seabrook 4 Posted March 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 So checked the codes and they are :-553, - Mass Air Flow Sensor17978, - 543, - P0726 Engine Speed Input Circuit - RPM Upper Limit Exceeded65535,Control Unit Failure or Internal Control Module Keep Alive Memory (KAM) Error or Power Failure to Control Unit or Bad Ground Contacts or No Faults Recorded (If MIL Not Illuminated)65535 No Faults Recorded (If MIL Not Illuminated)65535 Control Unit Faulty (In Some Systems)513. - 00513 Engine Speed Sensor - G28 - Idle RPM Too Low00513 Engine Speed Sensor - G28 - Idle RPM Too High00513 Engine Speed Sensor - G28 - Signal Malfunction Link to post Share on other sites
thegoth 5 Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 As always the 00513always shows when the car isn't running. 00543 will be because you've had the rev limit removed? The 65536 ( or -1 to us tech geeks ! ) sounds very ominous like the ECU is on it's way out but maybe just a bad earth as said. Certainly check first.For something else to try, swap in the engine speed sensor I gave you to see if it would help Steve's. Link to post Share on other sites

thegoth 5 Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 use a multimeter to check the resistance between the ground pin(s) on the ECU plug and the negative battery teminal. Also check the voltage across the live pin(s) and ground. Not sure which pin is which but from memory the ECU plug has 4 which are bigger than the rest, I asusme those are the supply connections.

Ben Seabrook 4 Posted March 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 ok cheers mate - would that cause the cutting out ? and any advice about the two pics ?? Link to post Share on other sites
jims13 6 Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 ben the 2 lose wires are from the carbon canister which you no longer have. i can redo the maf wires if you want, but i dont think its that. check earthing points on battery ecu, and engine..but if its cuting out intermitantly, it does perhaps point to the engine speed sensor.. im about saturday afternoon if it helps, as im on a rolling road at bretts sat morning.. or if you can get to me during the day , ill get out of bed and give it a damm good going over.jim Link to post Share on other sites
jims13 6 Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 actually, if its easier. leave it with me, and take mine, and then ill do it between shifts..give us a bell and we'll have a chat Link to post Share on other sites
