M15 VW 0 Posted June 18, 2004 I have a plug that looks a little like the ecu plug laying in the passenger footweld, any ideas? also what does the plug for the VDO look like, colour/shape/position on fuse box? thanks Nikki Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil K 0 Posted June 18, 2004 Hmmm, does it run to the front or the back of the car? Do your windows and central locking work? Without seeing what the connector looks like it's hard to tell... it could be something simple like a lead that went to a multi disk changer that has been semi ripped out by a previous owner... Sorry have just read that back to myself and it doesn't really help much does it :roll: :wink: :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted June 18, 2004 The ABS ECU is behind the passenger kick panel..... could be that? As Phil says, we need more info. What do you mean by 'The VDO' ? The instruments? Tsk, I dunno, you've only had it 5 minutes and you've broken it already :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phil K 0 Posted June 18, 2004 :shock: by crikey, thats a mess - looks like you've got a bit of a project on your hands... hope you work it all out! How much did you get the VR for if you don't mind me asking? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Storm 0 Posted June 18, 2004 Looks like you are missing the ABS brain. I think the car will brake without it but wont obviously provide you with the anti lock. This might invalidate your insurance as ABS was standard on the car. :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VR6 0 Posted June 18, 2004 I've got to ask .... Did you take the car on knowing it was in this state? I hope it was damn cheap otherwise :) All the best luck fixing it though - at least it's another one that's still alive :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M15 VW 0 Posted June 18, 2004 yeh i did buy it knowing it was in this state and the seller made sure i knew exactly how bad it was and insited us going to see it first. Yes it was cheap nikki Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted June 18, 2004 Where are the carpets? If they weren't provided you'll have a heart attack when you go to the dealer for a new set! S/hand wil be the only option! Or you could get some nice Lino from Allied or something? :lol: Anyway, providing none of the looms are cut in silly places, it should all piece back together nicely. The ABS ECU will cost you a small fortune if you can't get a s/hand one. Assume that's been swiped too? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
