lupo_matt Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 Hi my arosa has got a slight misfire and is a real pain to start, i have fitted new plugs and leads but its still the same also the engine managment light is on. Are there any common faults with these models?Thanks matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisbee Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 coil pack, lumbda sensor will be next, unless you can run vag com on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foto2021 Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 If the engine management light is on, it would be a good idea to get a technician with VAG-COM to have a look at it and diagnose the fault. A simple VAG-COM diagnosis and reset of the ECU (engine management) fault codes should cost about £20. There are quite a few technicians advertising this service on eBay. Just find one close to where you live or work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisbee Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 The thing with vag com is it'll only give you a list of possible parts that will be fualty, so you have to work through the list anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 17756, 17757.I'll say those are the codes and they shouldn't be generated on a AUC engine.Let me know if I'm right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 Sounds like a lambda sensor problem. Does it smell of fuel when starting? Is it using more fuel than normal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam R4 Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 I had a Misfire and my engine warning light on. Once it was on constant until i stoppped, left it over night and started it up in the morning and it had gone, Then as i was driving it started Really missing and the light was flashing then it was fine?I got a friend to run his Fault reader on it, cleared the ecu and its been fine since.Gave the plugs a clean up too, apparently good for 60k, mines only done 34.

Cannonball Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 If we are holding a raffle i'll have the ticket thats for the engine management temperature switch being or going faulty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigg!! Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 If we are holding a raffle i'll have the ticket thats for the engine management temperature switch being or going faulty I'll take a ticket for the coilpack please But in all seriousness best to get a code reader on it to try pinpoint the fault rather than guessing a few posibilities.

lupo_matt Posted October 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 its being read 2moro. The water temp rarely get above 70 degrees could this cause a fault? It does seem to be worse on fuel at the mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannonball Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 The ecu thinking the engine is cold will obviously be throwing more fuel at it all the time. That fuel could be fouling the plugs causing the miss and poor starting - only a guess which was why I opted for that sensor / switch ! Tomorrow will tell or at least begin to point you in the right direction.Rich you can have that one only if you explain what " it " is Good luck keep us updated it may help others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupo_matt Posted October 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 It was the ignition coil. It runs better now but it has a real low tickover of about 500rpm?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupo_matt Posted October 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 Anyone know the part number fro the map sensor? 2003 1.0 arosa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
