DanChave 98 Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 I didn't think the donor Corrado VR6 I bought for the engine to stick in my MK3 had an immobiliser, but now the engine is in, it won't fire up and there appears to be a transponder chip in the key. Where is the immob box located? I couldn't see it anywhere and didn't remember seeing a signal ring on the ignition barrel! Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 It's near the spoiler module mate where the switch it on the dashboard, if you take the trims off you'll be able see it if you poke your head in..... Also, you can trace it back from the wire on the immobilizer ring on the ignition barrel Link to post Share on other sites

DanChave 98 Posted November 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Hmmm, that's what I thought, same as the MK3's use. I didn't see one though! hopefully it's just buried in the big bundle of loom in the footwell lol! Link to post Share on other sites
DanChave 98 Posted November 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 There was no immob, turns out I was not getting fuel as the fuse had randomly dissapeared out if the fuse box! Now it won't hold idle............. VR6Pete 1 Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 How random. Could be a few things with the idol. Tried usual suspects like the MAF and blue temp sensor?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites
DanChave 98 Posted November 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 The none idle was because I was using the ABV's ecu with the AAA MAF! Changed the ECU to the AAA one and it idles. Then it was bogging down and hesitating at low revs THAT turned out to be the MAF so I changed it for my spare and hey presto I also gave the TB a good clean out and checked the inlet elbow for cracks, ended up swapping that out as well, runs like a dream now! Test drive tomorrow D11PS 1 Link to post Share on other sites
