New thread needed for all to see who's PMing to scam?

I had an Audi a2 sport and ordered individual eibach standard springs of AUTODOC, they messaged to say I’d picked the wrong ones. Spot on when the ones they chose arrived. Does take a while for some things to be arrive

If you used PayPal f&f you can stil claim off the source you paid PayPal with (credit or debit card). it usually takes a while, but you will eventually get your money back. if you do similar again ask for pics of the items with a piece of paper with the sellers name and date on - at least that shows they own the items?
-
Springs? how did you pay?

I'm assuming MooG60 has a G60, not sure if they ever had 16 pin? I have ancient VAGCOM on ancient laptop. James used this to connect to his Campaign 2 x 2 successfully? I also have current VCDS - never used it with 2 x 2 And VAS1551 clunky lol, bought for nostalgia rather than function
-
Are you 2 x 2 or 16 pin?
-
So you're in Nottingham? You could try C and R enterprises? I have an ancient laptop that has a very early VGAGOM program on,(inc 2 x 2 adaptor) James off the forum used it to trouble shoot his ABS

0.6 and 0.38 volts you mean? either way there’s a large discrepancy side to side, but at least it shows the reluctor rings are being picked up by the sensors? It could just be you’re better at turning wheels faster on one side than the other? You really need to see all 4 sensor readings on a gentle drive to see which corner isn’t reading correctly id imagine tempest still has his vcds set up if you contact him he may still be local?
-
The sensors are like tiny alternators, if you spin the wheel with the multimeter connected to the two pins in the sensor (wiring disconnected) set to volts you should see small voltages displayed. this proves the sensors are being flagged by the reluctor rings
-
The system works by comparing wheel speeds - all 4 corners at the same time. Measure resistance of the sensor, they should all be more or less the same If you spin the wheels with a multimeter connected to the unplugged sensors you should get a small voltage reading. Will VCDS not connect?
-
Does the engine turn with a socket on the crank?
-
Disconnect the battery for a while before you restart from cold. clear codes with vcds use the car for a couple of days before tinkering. ignition off if you disconnect anything, otherwise ghost codes will send you down dead ends / cloud the process.
-
If you swap a sensor you need to disconnect / reconnect the battery and drive the car several times to enable the ecu to relearn the new sensors parameters. Is the throttle damper catching the throttle and closing it gently? Are you reading the issue causing the stall or the ecus attempts at preventing a stall?

Lambda is ignored until engine hits a certain temp, hence swapping the CTS has lead to improved idle at low temp - original reading high?
-
Sounds like popping in the exhaust? ie unburnt fuel and oxygen? I'd pull ignition leads off with the engine running looking for the one that has least effect on the idle and investigate that cylinder, plug / lead / coil / compression
-
You should be able to view engine temp with vcds? Fluctuations would point to wiring / sensor faults lambda plug is on the rear engine mount you don’t mention whether issues hot / cold or both?

If brakes don’t hold enough place a screwdriver inside the vents on the disks locking them agains the callipers

With fog lights or without? 😆

One of the first things I did with my car was to remove the Sony screech / vibrate box - who needs one when you have the joy of narrow angle six?
-
https://www.volksmagic.com/ I’m pretty sure they supplied wheeler dealers parts for their gti mk1 in the very first series?
-
In Audis it was called Gala, the radio increased volume to disguise road speed (tyre) noise - it was probably an invention of the radio manufacturers than VAG group?

No mention of the blue / white wire in the thread, I suspect John of JMR was the instigator of the fix? A bit of TV hype that might send a few more members here?
