  3. Immo 3 issue/replacement

    in Volkswagen Lupo

    Posted · Edited by clbrof

    Not Lupo related, but maybe someone will know?

    The Passat (2001 b5.5) cluster died, replaced with second hand, but as they are linked with the ECU and transponder keys , it doesn't work (immobiliser active flashes).

    Will replacing ECU and keys to suit replacement cluster (all off same donor vehicle) allow car to run ?

    Thanks

    Hi

    The clocks on my lupo tdi have been changed and are showing a lower milage than what it should be. I want to up the milage to what it should be. Would something like vagtacho 3.01 be something that I can use to do so?

  12. TDI Gearbox Speedo Drive

    in Volkswagen Lupo

    Hi

    My speedo has completely died and its is definitely not an electrical fault as I have worked through Autodatas analysis of all the wiring for the fault code.

    The speedo drive on the back of the diff on the gearbox no longer seems to be attached to anything.... and turns freely inside its hole.

    Other than taking the gearbox off and splitting it is there any other way to replace the speedo drive?

    Also does anyone have Elsawin? Would it be possible to get some screenshots of exactly what I'm looking at?

    Thanks!

    Just had the instrument panel tested. Nothing wrong with the cluster. Just doing the wiring checks off the ecm connector block and the connector off the speedo drive. Will clean up battery earth too. However I just popped the cap off the speed drive and the rotating magnet with the square drive that drops I to the gearbox is now twiddling freely ? Whereas before it wasn't..... Seems like a mechanical failure

    My speedo became unreliable and started to drop to 0mph. Now will only work when engine is warm. Have replaced the gear driven speedo impulse sensor at back of gearbox. I believe it is a wiring fault. Does anyone have access to elsawin or another resource? I cannot find any wiring diagrams anywhere !

    Thanks

  17. Help : RED YELLOW WIRE MIXUP??

    in Interior and In-Car Entertainment

    Hi all

    I have just changed my headunit from a 20w Goodmans to a 50w Pioneer.

    The block connectors all went in just fine and the radio worked straight away.

    However it kept forgetting the preset stations time etc everytime I turned the ignition off.

    I mulitmetered the red and yellow wires off the block connector and found the red wire always provides 12.xxV and the yellow one would only give 12.xxV when the key was in.

    I thought that the yellow wire was for memory and the red for when the cars ignition is on?

    I swapped the red and yellow wires over, so now it operates as it should now. Can anyone see any detrimental effects of my doing so?

    And why are the colours of my wires opposite to what they should be?

  20. Speaker Reccomendations

    Hi

    I'm looking to change the speakers in the front doors of the lupo.

    What kind of speakers will be a straight swap into the door ? Don't mind making up adapters etc just don't want to put in amps etc.

    The current speakers have two cables going to them , this is coaxial? I believe ? Correct me if I'm wrong, completely new to this.

    What is the max wattage of speakers I should be looking at?

    Thanks

    Thanks!
