    I'm here in America these motors are hard to come by here I'm not sure about other countries. I recently bought high mileage R32 mk4 and desperately want to swap out for a younger engine. If anyone knows anybody please put the word out. My name is jessica jess29wag13@gmail.com

    So my latest project is a mark 4 R32. At one point it was garage kept and someone loved this car I can tell by the work that has been done and the immaculate shape of interior and exterior. However the 19 year old boy I bought it from did not love this car like an enthusiast would. He put crazy miles on it and did not take care of it. I knew the car had problems when I bought it but the price was too good to pass up for an R32. Fault codes present P0018 and P0016. Runs good for the most part. No noise smoke or visible trouble. Changed the oil yesterday and attached to the magnet on the plug wa

    Ecu was the problem. My car runs like a brand new car. Edu wasnt sending signal to o2 sensors. Problem solved

    So I'm swapping ecus seeing if that works. Checked the wiring. Seems ok. There is no signal coming from the ecu to my o2 sensors is what I've discovered

    2003 gti vr6 so aside from the key issue is there anything else involved and if I have the pin I wonder can my keys be programmed. My husband is against immobilizer delete for some reason he thinks it means anyone can get in my car is this true?

    Ecu swap

    jaydubb13 posted a topic in Engine Tuning

    I'm swapping ecus long story but the part number from the new/used one matches mine same engine same year. It appears to be made only a couple hundred after mine. The guy I bought it from has the pin code too so... Does it still need to be programmed? And keys coded ? I don't have to immobilizer delete if I have the pin do I? I don't want someone with vagcom to rip me off just because I don't know what is involved. Thanks Jessica

    I have a 2003 gti vr6 with a ghost no one can figure out. Not the dealer or various local vw experts. I don't want to give up on my car. Only fault is rear 02 and the mil stays on for that no matter how many different sensors I try. Car runs ok when cold. When hot hard starts warms stalls and runs like shit like she's dying. Barely goes. Pedal to the floor nothing, then she will kick in out of nowhere . dealer said it was maf. I have 4 sensors in a month. I notice change immediately but as soon as car adjusts to new sensor back to old ways. On a scanner my numbers look great. Nobody spends eno

    This May be a stupid question but I'm having a hard time trying to figure out why my car looses power when it's hot . or warms up. My car 2003 gti vr6, she likes it cold. Once she warms up 190 f ish she don't wana go. I have a broken radiator fan-the big one -I'm fixing very soon. She doesn't overheat or anything yet. A common issue with my car is hot restart issues and it's related to the edu ..ecu damn auto correct. I'm getting a tune shortly and hope to fix that problem but I was wondering since my fan is broken is it keeping the ecu hot among other things? Therfore I have no power cuz eve

    I'm sure a lot of you probably already know about these but I just discovered the TSB for my car and was amazed all the problems Im having ate common. TSBs are put out by the manufacturer and are common repair issues reported for specific cars.check em out pretty cool

    My car sprays what I'm told is the ac compressor. It's random and when the car is usually still. Now when I drive upon acceleration I hear loud buzzing that gets louder the harder I accelerate usually it's loudest between 2000 &3000 rpm I think it's related to ac compressor.it's loud and embarrassing. U ever heard of this?

    I have a 2003 gti vr6 my car struggles to start sometimes. My husband told me it was just a cold start but I noticed it starts great first thing in the morning when it's freezing outside.however after driving around town once it's hot I get back in my car it struggles to start. Feels like it isn't getting fuel. It turns over and will stall if I don't give it gas. Then just now at a stop light it felt like it was trying to stall out until I gave it gas.what is going on? I know I little about cars but not a whole lot. Fuel pressure regulator? Any advice on what I should check

    My name is Jessica Im somewhat a new vr6 owner. I've already changed my exhaust three times Im looking for a particular sound and just not getting it. Pardon me for being a stupid girl but how do I get that deep throaty rumble without farts and rips. I just put on borla pro xs muffler with glass pack resonator and I'm regretting putting the resonator back on.it was off and I thought that was why its sounded shitty but it was my muffler.I know I have to break it in but when I picked it up from the shop I was disappointed by the silence. I want to be loud and noticed like the aggressive driver I
