    ECU Swap?

    I dont use VCDS, I use ODIS. Was basically free as I already had a VAS5054. Often if you change a group of modules, the car will take on the new identity and will work fine (New VIN number) It is just being sure that whatever I try is fully reversible if it doesnt work. Clutching at straws at...

    ECU Swap?

    Hello again. I am afraid I am back as the problem with car going into limp mode persists. My son tried two independent VW specialists. After looking at the ODIS report, one refused to get involved, saying it could be anything! Other had a look, and came to same conclusions as me! Problem is...

    Help with 2.0 GTD going into limp mode frequently

    original Reg has been sent via PM, is on a private plate at moment. So far, since my last two "poke-arounds" car hasn't faulted :) So either the camshaft position sensor was the fault, or the wiring around the crankshaft position sensor, or the water pump valve are dodgy (water pump valve...

    Help with 2.0 GTD going into limp mode frequently

    You wouldn't have a copy of the coding string before and after you made the change for door open lighting, or in some way indicate exactly which byte or bit was changed in the long code? There may be a discrepancy in the way ODIS represents the bytes. Not that important, but would be useful...

    Help with 2.0 GTD going into limp mode frequently

    Dave Thanks for looking in detail. Yes problem is I get a lot of errors all logging at the same time. Unfortunately ODIS doesn't order them purely time specific, but groups them with modules, so I do not know which one occurred first. Would be nice to get mS logging. I am thinking maybe the...

    Help with 2.0 GTD going into limp mode frequently

    Hi Yes it is a 2.0 GTD. Car is second hand, don't know how many owners, (and is black, with black wheels, and blacked out rear windows (quite smart, but I would never admit that to my son :whistle:) so likely had a checkered history) so seems logical that the car may have been modified at some...

    Help with 2.0 GTD going into limp mode frequently

    Thanks again. Yes just going over wiring diagram again, and have asked my son to bring car around tomorrow to check it out again. When exiting ODIS, all fault codes are cleared and it re-checks for static faults. Do you know what exactly are the "Door warning light / entry light Electrical...

    Help with 2.0 GTD going into limp mode frequently

    Thanks for taking time to read and respond. When this issue first started my suspicion was the battery, so I drop tested it (cheap battery tester), and it said it was OK, but not 100%, so told my son to replace battery, which he did, but same issue. I then checked battery installation, cleaned...

    Help with 2.0 GTD going into limp mode frequently

    My sons 2.0 GTD (2015) keeps going into limp mode, seemingly at random. I set up ODIS Service on my laptp and ran a scan, and found lots of faults...So deleted them and asked him to bring it back to me next time fault occurred, which he did. Codes main I got were:- 09:57:39 P019300 Fuel Rail...
