i havent any pictures
ok a written status update.
We made some more progress assembling the rallye,
Last time i touched it i was left with the headache of vaccum pipes and charcoal filters.
decided the bet plan P.A.O was a trip to the scrappy.
rummaging through the various french crap there i found a vaccum pipe with block connector clip on end that was perfect and a charcoal valve thing 'brown circular plastic object' that needs connecting to the loom,
upon fitting these work stopped again due to work and waiting on the previous owner to supply me the ecu and coilpacks...
A drawn out while later and i break up from work for the festive season :biggrin , i get a call from the old owner saying he has the coilpacks and "unlocked ecu" :dry
we set about fitting the parts to find out the coilpack bolts are missing
(this kind of thing is becoming frequent now
)
Luckily i have the 6 parked right next to it so i set about borrowing any parts i need in order to attempt to start "La Baguette MkII"
for some reason the positive terminal doesent like my battery so we nick hovis' battery...
Now Ready for action I Gingerly Sit in the drivers seat (not before smashing head on cage for the umteenth time) insert key into ignition....breath....TURN ....it lights up = Big grin , turn again ...PRIMES! = MAHOOSIVE GRIN... One more turn..........
NOTHING ......
After some fettling with battery terminal i try again......
It turns over ...But doesent start
to cut a long story short it turned out the "Unlocked ECU" was Not of the Unlocked Sort, and after unlocking the ecu from the gti6 and inserting , it started!! woohoo.
So Thanks to Rikky I now have a new ECU, KEY, HALO and IMMOB UNIT :biggrin
oh and a postie that thinks im a freak.... Thanks for that
Right im now off to do some more to the car , il get some pics this time
