Buy one of these and scan for fault codes: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/USB-KKL-VAG-COM-Cable-409-1-ODB-II-ODB2-Auto-Diagnostic-VW-Audi-Skoda-Tool-UK-/391109450635?hash=item5b0ff09b8b:g:dKUAAOSwr81UUMLV There are oodles of things like coil packs, leads, plugs, burnt valves, leaking throttle body etc etc etc. so stabbing around on the dark throwing money at it is pointless.

TDI: Occasional Hot Starting Problems
Sausage replied to wehey's topic in Car Care, Maintenance and Mechanical
Nice one. It's all pretty much just best guesses without the vcds, I'd be miffed too if another scanner didnt pick up this sort of fault fault code. -
TDI: Occasional Hot Starting Problems
Sausage replied to wehey's topic in Car Care, Maintenance and Mechanical
It could be a wiring issue, but by the time you've dived in there and checked it you'll probably wish you had a new sensor to put in anyway. I was expecting this one tbh..... http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/16705/P0321/000801 -
TDI: Occasional Hot Starting Problems
Sausage replied to wehey's topic in Car Care, Maintenance and Mechanical
Assuming you have the cable working with the ports / drivers then you'll want the 01 engine module under "select module", then scan for DTCs to show codes. make a note or copy paste them. I had to run it as administrator from the hard drive to stop mine losing the lead all the time. Dont play around with it though as stuff on the right under advanced functions that need some understanding to use. Hence the ones marked "safe" on the left. -
110A I think, it should be stamped into somewhere.

And the fuse is good?

Fuse block by the battery terminal?

vag com for fault code, airbag etc, any try one of these?
Sausage replied to agilecanonbal's topic in Volkswagen Lupo
I meant registered version, just to clarify. Google search for vcds lite registered or similar. Some anti virus say the loader is a trojan hence why i run it on an old spare laptop. -

http://www.ross-tech.com/vcds/tour/main_screen.php VCDS Lite when registered (either paid for or unlocked by nefarious means) does pretty much everything full VCDS does. -
TDI: Occasional Hot Starting Problems
Sausage replied to wehey's topic in Car Care, Maintenance and Mechanical
Well at least you started with the cheapest possible solution. The engine cutting out and the hot starting may or may not be related but probably are. You need that vagcom lead asap though. OK quick search finds this: That was fuse box connections , other likely options are crank position sensor flaky. -
TDI: Occasional Hot Starting Problems
Sausage replied to wehey's topic in Car Care, Maintenance and Mechanical
Your conking out says electrics like the relay or maybe ecu, your non starting hot says cranking speed too low. Vagcom might be able to measure live data for cranking speed. No fuel is injected below a certain rpm i think and the maps for fuel are different for hot and cold. What is your battery voltage ignition on, engine off? Was that relay a snug fit in the socket? -

Yes vcds lite, you can unlock it to full version easy though. I recommend a cheap old spare laptop for this. -

Hi Matt, I own your old Lupo now. I'm hoping to get it back up to those sort of figures again.

Depends on the gearbox code really, i think there were 4 codes in the SDIs. You need to check the codes on the box you intend buying / fitting, as even if the box came out of an SDI it doesnt mean it is an SDI box originally, add to the fact SDI boxes are scarce and priced higher than petrol ones. Etf ffv ded dxq might be the codes but not sure.

Yay! I finally have my 512kb file now, in Mpps you need to press f12 on file read and / or before file save to bypass "no read" tag, not sure which, i did both for good measure. Dumped twice and opens in software. I am amazed this was the solution after all. Now i can fiddle and muck it up LOL...

Get a cheap old laptop running windows XP for this purpose. -

if you have a spare laptop get one of these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/OBD2-409-1-USB-Cable-KKL-VAG-COM-OBD-Diagnostic-Scanner-VW-Audi-Seat-VCDS-/181792604553?hash=item2a53af0189:g:pC0AAOSwT~9WjjF9 -
Ok update on my remap file. The reason mine comes down as 204kb (or anything other than 512kb) is that it has a "no read" tag on the file put there by whoever did the remap. That means MPPS with a clone lead will encrypt it as a smaller useless file on download and save. The solutions are to use a genuine megabucks lead and software, use an earlier version of MPPS or use a galletto to get the "no read" tag ignored, or read the contents of RAM before saving the file in MPPS. Well, I've tried everything on that list except the genuine lead, the galletto is useless on edc15p unless it's on a bench harness it seems, so I still dont have my remap file downloaded successfully. There is a supposed option of pressing f12 during ecu read to bypass "no read" tag, but i really doubt it's that simple, i will try this whenever it decides to stop raining tomorrow. I have a spare tdi ecu and will be making a bench harness for it soon.

The definitive Gearbox thread

Your gearbox is the 085 chocolate box unless your arosa is the TDI. -
Stuck valve? Need help!
Sausage replied to TotalScottish's topic in Car Care, Maintenance and Mechanical
Did you have the head off to solve the overheating? If not then do so as you would need to for the valves anyway, if you had it off already then it will all come off that much easier. If petrol is going past the rings in that quantity then it's probably a knackered bore / piston. But you wont know until you get the head off and check everything over. there isnt really any short cut to that given what you have said. You can watch the cam buckets going up and down with the cam cover off turning the engine over slowly by hand and look for anything abnormal, but that's about it. -

Engine temperature sensor, lazy starter motor? Is this only since the remap or before also? -
Insurance is like a legal scam in my opinion. They make the rules and can move the goal posts whenever it suits them, and it always does suit them to do so.

What size wheels and tyres are you running?
-
if this is since fitting coilovers and the alignment / tracking / tyres are all right then that leaves bushes, mounts, shocks and springs. The snow was a red herring i take it. What make are the coilovers and were they new or used? Bounce test the shocks and make sure the ride height is equal left /right.
