Re: new here and i think I'll jump right in 2014 I3 issues

by the sounds of it, the inverter on the motor probably had issues in the past and the quick and lazy way was to swap the inverter and BDC from a working car to keep the immo data matched.

when you reprogrammed it you changed that to the data of the original car on the BDC which does not match the ...

Re: VW Can Log with Engine running

as far as i remember the ABS works without many additional canbus messages,(defiantly standalone on the mk3 golfs) the ESP sends out max torque request to the ECU which you don't have so just getting ignored. i cant remembered if it looks for a reply from the ECU.

so your abs should work, your ASR ...

Re: Help with this ElectroHydraulic Power steering pump?

Hi, just checking was this working before and has now stopped ?

if so normally these pumps have a 3rd wire which is wired to IGN, probably best to check that its still got the IGN 12V signal.

the vw version of this pump has been known to fail from time to time and it might just need replacing.

Re: VW electric coolant heater

I'm confused. have you sent an output of 100% to your heater and only got an output of 2.5kw ? if so can i ask what voltage you where running the heater at ? as it does have a recommended power range.

Seeing the spec of the heater being upto 5/7kW. The LIN control message only has on byte for power level request, this means we can only request 2.5kW. Has anyone been able to get more out of the heater then the 2.5kW.

Hi,

Lin works on a master/slave principal. so the master module has can transmit any control data it wants. but the slave ...
