who do i see about this vagcom thing?

 

[acidstrato]

engine code is engraved onto a small block of metal on the side of the cam cover, near the oil cap...most ibizas are AYP

vagcom is wot Phil was using when he connected his laptop to ur car. u can downlod it but u need a datacable which can be bought on ebay cheap or the official thing from ross tech if u got the money to spare

otherwise sure one of us could sort u out sometime as most of us have it

 

[ljbinks]

do you have it?

 

[ljbinks]

have you had a look at it on ebay?

 

[acidstrato]

yep i got vagcom, bought mine from ebay, see a couple of the ecus on ebay but its a bit of a risk whether ur actually getting a cupra R ecu or a cupra ecu

ofcourse if u were still gonna go for a remap later on then it'll make no difference having a cupra R ecu. u wont get anymore cos they will remap to the same figures

The number on the top is quite a cool give away, or plugging it into the car?

 

[ljbinks]

i see what you are saying

 

[ljbinks]

do you think £51 is worth the risk or not?

 

[ljbinks]

need to know quick 4 min to go

 

[ljbinks]

wow bottled that one

 

[Daz_gibbo]

Might have my ST2 Revo'd ECU for sale in the near future...

 

[acidstrato]

it would have been worth it for 50quid or so in my opinion, aslong as u arent gonna go for revo next month or so

obviously wot m0rk says is true if u know what number it is supposed to be, a little search would prob bring up the cupra R part number

but plugging it into the car and finding out its an ecu from a cupra after paying for it would be abit disappointing

 

[ljbinks]

daz how much r u thinking? when? it went for £107 after

 

[Daz_gibbo]

Not sure when. £250 + Your ECU or thereabouts.

 

[ljbinks]

no probs daz, i am interested let me know

 

[ljbinks]

from about a week after i bought my car the passenger side window has quit on me, i have been doing some investigation on the problem today and found that this part of the regulator is broken somewhere

if i put live and earth to the motor i can make it go up and down so i now the motor is ok, does anyone know if i can buy this thing or do i have to buy the whole thing? any one on here any good on electric's who fancy's taking a look?​

 

[Martyn]

The Cupra R ECU ends in AB not AA.

ljbinks, you'll have to get the whole thing, including the motor

 

[ljbinks]

stupid pocksy thing

 

[davidol]

on a quick personal note, does anyone have a copy of paint shop pro 8 or 9 they could send me as ive lost my backup

 

[ljbinks]
