imaparana Posted April 13, 2019 Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 Hi all, On my rally car im hoping to enable left foot braking/braking while still able to use the accelerator, however unlike my other cars (older cars) the lupo cuts the power. id heard the modern VW's with flyby wire (mainly mk4 golfs) this can be overcome by permanently connecting 2 wires on the switch, such the brake lights still work but the ecu doesnt get told the brakes are on and kill the power. however. i have tired this, brake lights still work however it has proved unsuccessful, does anyone have any ideas on how to over come this?

mk2 Posted April 13, 2019 Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 Yeah same on all lupos as far as i know. You'll need to isolate the ECU from the brake switch. But it is there as an economy and safety function in case the DBW throttle goes crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted April 13, 2019 Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 Just add another loom over the top and zip tie the other away somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
