herisites 0 Posted August 24, 2009 Oh you have GOT to be joking me!? i was down in kettering over the weekend and i have a mk5 golf R32 pedal that i don't need :( I know thats a bit of a kick in the nuts for you but if you do need one i can check part no. tonight for you. Jeeeeeesus how unfortunate :lol: Yeah if you could check part number's mate that would be awesome! 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrbeige 0 Posted August 24, 2009 Doing some work on a cruise control module for a few of the new Hyundai's and their pedal ranges have changed from 0-5v to 0-12v to improve resulotion, so I'd imagine that VW may have followed the same logic and done the same in the mk5 pedals, hence your pedal voltage being too low Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_leon_ 0 Posted August 24, 2009 interesting reading Rob/Kev seems like maybe a custom downpipe is a better choice? And perhaps quicker now the dubpower manifold doesnt fit.... Whats your next move on that? shame about the pedal - waiting patiently for you to write up that the pedal is wired up and its running! gives me a full picture of what problems to expect! best of luck mate Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted August 24, 2009 I think the Dubpower one is worth pursuing, Pete just needs to correct a few fitment issues and then it should be good. Building a custom one from scratch would cost a lot and most fabricators won't do it without the car there for measuring up etc. RE the pedal, you live and learn! It does stress the importance of getting EVERYTHING from the donor vehicle! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

herisites 0 Posted August 24, 2009 Here are a few pics after the loom tidying on saturday 8) and thought might as well put a couple of how the downpipes sit as well for you all to see. I have sent them to Pete to Dubpower so he can see what he needs to do. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pete_griff 0 Posted August 25, 2009 that's strange about the pedal pal (and apologies for any confusion with the part number) - mine worked with one that was defo NOT an r32 pedal... bay is looking good pal - i would mount the FPR on the strut top rather than the engine though, as according to a guy who works in a hydraulics/fluid transfer place and knowshis stuff, its better to mount them somewhere like that with less vibration especially seeing as you're running the gauge on it... also, if you're interested at any point - i've got an absolutely mint set of the mk5 r32 cats with the nice long flexis etc if you ever decide to be kind to the environment! looking for £100 sheets for those...

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted August 25, 2009 Hmmm, interesting. Was yours a MK5 engine? The ECU pins go to exactly the right pins on the pedal plug, so it's all a bit weird really. Bring back carburettors and throttle cables, life is so much easier :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hmm that is strange how yours worked with a different pedal :scratch: We have tried a diesel pedal (1k2721503M) and an S3 pedal (can't remember the part number, think it was same but with J on the end) and neither of them worked. We checked all 6 pedal wires back to the ecu plug and all checked out ok so it HAS to be the pedal causing the problem. Yeah I'll move the FPR at some point, got plenty of time off after tomorrow so will be one of my 'to do' jobs :lol: Cheers for the offer on the cats, i'll pass at the min though, sod the environment :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pete_griff 0 Posted August 25, 2009 Pete - did you use the same manifold as Rob? no mate - mine was bespoke to allow me to run both cats, just like in the mk5 - check out my old build thread if you wanna c a pic! :) there are a few piccies from this page forwards - viewtopic.php?f=11&t=62901&start=75 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah it could be something like that. This is why Vince asked for the pedal when we dropped the loom off Rob :lol: Mind you, Rob's ECU has been in a car and everything worked as it should. Still, I bet you can't put a fruit pastille in your mouth without chewing it :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
herisites 0 Posted August 29, 2009 Well sorted the exhaust out, Pete from Dubpower turned up at 8:30 this morning with all his kit including 2 facking great gas bottles and his blow torch and then we set to adjusting the downpipes! They didn't want to budge much even when heated, so only managed to move them over/down slightly. So we grinded off some of the flanges (flanges hehe!) and then cut down the decat further and when all on properly the exhaust is much more central! I'm very pleased with Pete's help, the guy's a legend :notworthy: Also got the proper R32 pedal (cheers swiftkid!) but as suspected really it made no difference whatsoever :( :brickwall: Car's starting fine and running ok, but can't rev the sodding thing! So dunno what to do now, everything looks correct so we might have to try and get it to Stealth :( Hopefully it's something simple that Vince can assist over the phone with!
