cmoth 0 Posted September 11, 2006 Murray himself didnt seem to know? - He was as surprised as we were? - Im sure he will get to the bottom of it for his own peace of mind, he ws obviously not due to work. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cmoth 0 Posted September 18, 2006 Car is running better than it was, no more scooby mode thank god, so coilpack cured that. I am still not happy with the overall performance as it seems to be a bit lethargic. I disconnected the MAF tonight then started car and it died immediately, so I guess that means thats ok. I seem to recall reading about fuel pump relay that can go on these, what are the symptoms of this if anyone has had theirs replaced? - Other than this, any other ideas, although my car seems very susceptical to the climate conditions?

adevr6 0 Posted September 18, 2006 soldered joints on some relays crack/fail-109 voltage stabiliser and 167 fuel pump are a common fault on vrs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dr_mat 0 Posted September 19, 2006 Is it VAG-COM clean now? VR engine lethargy can be MAF (despite the test you did above), or the cam position sensor. Often you have to take the car for a drive and THEN scan the codes before you turn the engine off to get a realistic reading. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cmoth 0 Posted September 19, 2006 it is VAG COM clean now. I will try a friends MAF and see whether that cures the lethargyness. thanks for your suggestion. Col Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cmoth 0 Posted September 24, 2006 tRied alternative MAF, did not run any better althouh tickover may have been a bit smoother. What does that leave then, CPS, fuel relay... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rick_ford55 0 Posted September 24, 2006 lol at roger... i here alot of people talking bout vag com on here saying its cheap and easy and the best way to diagnose a fault. Does anyone have vagcom available at track days or shows or is it something that you would have to look at buying yourself?? i live in rural scotland and would love to put my c on vagcom to see if anything was un-toward but would hate to giv it to VW stealers at £45 per hour. I care about my c but as always money seems to be the issue Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dr_mat 0 Posted September 25, 2006 See, VAG-COM is free for code reading. All you need is a laptop and the right cable. And since this is an internet forum you can bet that a large percentage of people have laptops ... which leaves the cable. Which can be found for about £30 on ebay...

Critical_Mass 10 Posted November 9, 2006 what kind of cable is required and what software. Seems to be a few different ones on da bay? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CrazyDave 0 Posted November 10, 2006 Cam sensor faults needs to be read before turning the engine off when the fault occurs. My car had this problem, and it felt down on power, erratic idle etc. It's fine with a new cam sensor. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
