hi all, can anyone put me right on somthing, i have ayp 1.8t in 90 corrado, with standard mngment dbw, at the moment im using mechanical speedo cable in the gear box that came with the ayp, works fine but am told it wont run proper if the ecu doesnt read vss, now i still have the 3 pin plug on the loom for the vss, so do i need the vss for the gear box and g60 clocks or wat set up do i need, and will the spoiler still operate with the vss in cheers

right quick update, pulled some codes; p1631, throttle position sensor,high input sensor 1 p1634, throttle position sensor,high input sensor 2 are the two sensors in the throttle body?

cheers for the response lads the wiring was done by a company in bristol but they never sent the diagnostic plug back with the loom and iv tried to get them to send it a couple of times but no sign of it yet, they said its a separate loom and would be easy to make up. would it be an easy thing for myself to do and where or how do i wire or plug it in to the system as im not the best with electrics. ill wait till i get the diagnostic port sorted before i start panicking.i suppose ill go over all the wiring again to double check. im just mad to get it back on the road after hearing the engine run

hi all, i posted this in the 20v thread allready but ill put it in here also, im just about finished my ibiza cupra ayp engine transplant iv used the standard engine managment with the dbw system. the problem is im gething no response from the accelerator pedal, car starts and idles no problem. on doing some searching around one thread i found hinted at a fried ecu, but would the engine even start if this were the case? iv also seen somthing about a throttle body allignment witch somtimes has to be done if u disconect the battery or remove the tb or the pedal all of whitch iv done but i dont know how i would do this. anyone any ideas?

hi all, am almost finished with me conversion but have a problem. im using the dbw from the ibiza i took the engine from, wiring was done by a company in bristol. car starts beutifully but nothing happens when i press the accelorater pedal no revs nothing. iv done a bit of searching and one suggested my ecu is fried but i allso seen somthing about performing a throttle body allignment dont know how id do this on a transplant. and would the engine even start up if the ecu was fried any ideas guys

hi all, anyone out there have or know where to get those wedge shaped plastic bumper clips, i believe they,er discontinued from vw. im sure there, probably some sitting on a shelf in some dealers somewhere gathering dust but i wouldent have the patience to ring around

hi all, just bought a vr6 rad for my 20vt conversion went to fit it and realised its about an inch and a half above the slam panel so i presume the vr6 front crossmember is different to the 16v one, my question is does any one know if the vr6 crossmember is a straight fit to the 16v or will i come across any more problems, any help appriciated before i go out and buy one

close, lamborghini

hi mrbeige, no its not a standard corrado colour, its not a vw colour but it is kinda in the vw family

it does seem to be brake dust, or mabe a combination of both

no never taught of that, might give that a go today. im sending them to get sprayed matt black soon but would like to clean them up as much as possible first

thanks for the comments lads, i can only take credit for picking the color the guy who did the preping and spraying really put in the effort

having the normal clearance issues with master cylinder but ill get round that. gona spray the centres of the wheels, theres a heavy build up of brake dust on the center parts whitch wont come off . i suppose i should have taken better care of them2.8l 24v Climatronic system.pdfaug 034.jpg[/attachment:2iju6ozu]aug 033.jpg[/attachment:2iju6ozu]

hi all done a stupid thing. took engine out of car removed all wiring car was sitting on driveway for about two weeks getting it ready for spraying and ten minutes before the truck cam to take it to the sprayers i noticed the rear spoiler and decided to remove it before it went then realised i couldnt raise it due to lack of any power :roll: so does any one outthere know what i can do to get the spoiler up. also does anyone know how to remove the sunroof properly any help would great

Im fitting a AYP engine from a seat ibiza cupra and me head is wrecked over the engine managment side of things. firstly on top of the engine theres some sort of devise thingy it sits on top of the coils and has hoses going to the forge waste gate one to the down pipe and one to the intake mani. iv never seen one of these on any other 1.8t engine let alone on a conversion does anyone out there know wat this is and do i need it for the conversion.Secondly if i go for qpeng do i lose the diognostics with this system as i have the comlete donor car would i be better off using the standard managment and send the ecu to custom code and then theres other questions like about clocks,keys, fuse boxes. Im confident enought to do the engine swap itself but the electrics goes over me head at the moment can anybody help. Cheers
