mk3 ibiza cupra 'estate' 20vt

[Martin M]

Hardest part on mine was trying to feed the loom into the tailgate!

Looking forward to seeing it all finished.

Nice project with a Vario! This is my car, no 20VT though

 

[MIkey kc]

nice mate

 

[roly]

wheres ben when you need him lol

Welding wire and brake pipe are your best mate for the tailgate loom, also taking the connectors off so only the wiring and pins are left makes threading it through easier.

Rest of the looms plug and play, although your mating the 2 together in places so could be fun

im proper loving that pic above

pic from rear?

i manged to crank her over today!!!!
wouldnt start due to the aftermarket alarm it had. i ripped it out but i think im regreting it now

ut oh !!

 

[m0rk]

It's not too bad - I stripped an aftermarket out of my 16v loom - you're far better off without it.

Check the main wires to & from the barrel lock to see what's been cut into

 

[h17och]

looks like its been cut into by the fuse board. the main chack of loom that is there as been re-taped.

gonna start there

 

[h17och]

dash board on order. £115 delivered!!

still dont run.

no power to fuel pump. and no power to serial port.

any ideas?

 

[m0rk]

it'll be boring wire tracing to find the one that was cut into, and going into the alarm.

shame I'm away a lot over the next few weeks, otherwise I'd come and do it for you

 

[h17och]

found a fault code in airbag section....

00595 crash data present.

looks like i need a new airbag module!!??

how easy are they to break as i had the car running before i stripped it so i guess it didnt happen in the accident!? not sure if i dropped it or not

also are they plug and play as i may try my ibiza one!?

thanks for the offer mork....you must be missing the vario lol

HoocH

 

[h17och]

thinking about it i dont htink its the problem..

i have continuity from fuel pump relay to the ecu (signal wire)

the main live is live

earth is good.

the 4th wire on the relay, according to the wiring diagram goes to crash sensor t9a/8

anyone know what that is?

 

[m0rk]

I think that when you have a crash and the airbags fire - it cuts the fuel pump connection.

I guess you either need to hold it high or low....

 

[IbizaAlex]

U just need to see if the engine ecu is powering up or not. Did vag-com log into the engine ecu?

 

[h17och]

vagcom is fine now. i think it was due to a few earths not being connected :S

 

[h17och]

mork...hold what high or low?

 

[m0rk]

The 4th connection from FP to 'crash sensor'

 

[h17och]

how do i hold it high or low?

i think im missing something as ive no idea what you mean

 

[m0rk]

Connect it to +12V or Earth (high/low)

depends what the other side of the relay connects to (have you got a pic of the FP relay with the diagram printed on it?)

 

[h17och]

aaarrrhhh. i see

ill go have a look at the relay now
