    Hi peeps im currently sourcing parts for my turbo conversion and came across this on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370233339293&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT was wondering if anyone had mounted there turbo like this rather than the other way as iv heard it fowls with the brake fluid resevour, thought this way might be easier, also just wanted to know what sorta cash going the custom route would cost as this is pretty pricy, many thanks tinks

    thanks kev i thought the manifold would be alright, obviously being for lhd its reversed, to good to be true hey lol, iv looked at a few kits on ebay and this looks by far the best as it got a hell of a lot of stuff, the sellars feedback is 99.1 possitive so must be fine, still just thinking about it at this stage but all in all do you lot think that kit is worth buying? if i went down the turbo route? tinks

    Im definately in got a mate with a 1.8t golf who'd come aswell
  13. Tinks
    sorted had to tow it to golf to get it done but they reset the ecu imobiliser code, got it back and the battery light was on turns out id put the alternator live to earth...woops, that might be why it lost its code, its fine now and im so happy iv got my car back
  14. Tinks
    could i not just take the chip out of that key then put it in my key? i might try like u said calico the pick up ring first as its the cheapest option
  15. Tinks
    yep just such a pain in the arse getting it there, found this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MK3-GOLF-VR6-ECU-WITH-CHIPPED-KEY-TRANSPONDER-BOX_W0QQitemZ280342322194QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item280342322194&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1683%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318%7C301%3A1%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50

    nope the alarm iv got fitted is an ebay jobby, but even with the fuse out the car still does the same thing, its just for central locking remotely really
  17. Tinks
    oh bloody hell lol, is it just a case of removing the ecu and giving them that along with the key?
  18. Tinks
    just opened my key up looked a bit harder and found the chip, do u know how to remove the imobiliser itself or can that not be done?
  19. Tinks
    hello mate thanks for the reply, my mate cleared all codes several time and it did the same each time, iv opened up my key and cant see a chip in it, read somewhere its a little green one but there nothing other than the light
  20. Tinks
    had some progress iv got a mate who's run a diagnostic on it and its come up with fault code 17978 which is imobiliser, and the ecu also came up saying not authorised, is there anychance i have locked my ecu somehow from having it disconnected from the battery for a day? can i bypass the imobiliser? didn't even think it had one
  21. Tinks
    iv got an alarm on that i fitted myself which doesn't have an immobiliser but yeh it turns off and on fine, earth points are attatched and were cleaned aswell, is there anyway i can reset the ecu?
  22. Tinks
    my house mates got a vr6 but the earlier engine model and i swapped the crank sensors over, the plugs are the same but my sensor has a rubber seal, didn't disconnect the battery tho, still didn't start either
  23. Tinks
    yeh i have done a search and thats been mentioned but i just cant think why its just sudenly started doing it, i did have the battery disconnected from the car over night while i waited for a new clutch do u think it could have wiped something?
  24. Tinks
    Hey everyone, iv just changed the clutch on my vr, all went well and i did the job, whilst it was up on the axle stands i started it up to check everything was fine which its was the car started and stayed on. i revved it a bit then turned it off literrally a minute later i went to start it again and now it wont stay on, it starts then just dies straight away. Anyone got any ideas? starter motor is fine as it starts, fuel pump sounds like its running on turn over, theres obviously a spark cos it starts then stops. Im thinking its got to be a sensor or sum sort but its strange how its just deve
  25. Tinks
    Yeh its obd1, i will give what u said a try hopefully tomorrow, just seems odd that the car runs fine when the isv valve is blocked didn't know if the throttle might be open slightly to allow it to still runs, might have to take the throttle to bits give it a good clean and put it back together. i didn't cover the main air intake tho, was thinkin it might be the maf is there a way of cleaning it? thanks for the reply
