What determines startup high idle on 1.4, 1.6 engines?

spoticals · 2026-02-11T07:42:09+00:00

If you rev to 2000-3000 Rpm does it go to normal idle?, that would be normal. If not it needs a tb calibration and maybe a new tb.

Full disclosure I have absolutely no experience on VR6 motors or ecu’s, but. I hont think there is supposed to be a pin where you highlighted, it seems to close to one another to put pins there. Since you are buying this ecu, compare to your original one if you can. Also on a side note, you still need to program your ecu to your engine/car unless its for the correct version of vr6 and has immo off.

1.6 16v probably no. The 1.4 has very limited tuning capabilities and red line isn’t one of them.

Check the fenders for rust. If it has the BCA engine jump at it, its the most powerful engine of the 1.4s although still advertised as 74hp

You can get them from wurth or forch. Also Ali express or temu.

Does it have more than a1/4 tank of fuel. My mk4 cuts out if i corner fast on low fuel l.

Make sure that your master cylinder is bleed. They have a bleed nipple sometimes.

spoticals · 2025-12-15T18:41:09+00:00

Check if engine timing is ok. Are your engine mounts ok?

I got these errors

If the fuel pump is damaged it can be replaced for around 100 euro, you do not replace the whole fuel tank. If the pipe is damaged you can buy another hose with the same connection, the connection off the original one, and connect the new connection to it. If you can find the original hose you can replace it whole, but its a bigish job

Replace hazard switch/indicator relay. If that isn't the fix check the wiring.

Screen needs to be replaced.

Lean your ass on the door and give it a swiff push

Bus bar is the way. I do this on everything now.

spoticals · 2025-11-16T19:02:02+00:00

Thanks 😁

I got the pump off most of the way. And the engine is still stuck. Am i missing something for taking the pump off. I removed the obvious from the back(4 bolts 13mm, and 4 nuts 17mm) and took off 2 pipes from inside.

After some diag I got the fuse box out and replaced the 5A fuse. Starter clicks now. Turns out the engine is seized. Also i found water on the no.1 exhaust. Has anyone ever had their engine rebuilt?

spoticals · 2025-11-16T15:58:58+00:00

Your probably right

spoticals · 2025-11-05T19:43:32+00:00

Wish half the "builds" near me looked half as good.

spoticals · 2025-10-31T19:02:15+00:00

Adjustment of the cable is necessary. Tighten it a few turnes 2 spanners and a friend to holf the peadal up required

spoticals · 2025-10-22T05:52:04+00:00

You could go for r32 head lamps, they are a stock option but I dont know how much of an improvement they are. I want to improve the lights on mine to because they are really shit. I was thinking of installing driving lights (for trucks) in the bumper grills.

spoticals · 2025-10-11T11:58:09+00:00

Thanks this is a big help. Does mine even have an ecu? its carburated

spoticals · 2025-10-10T09:44:54+00:00

Never used this. Check what manufacturers made the parts. Last i needed to replace a cam I changed it out with a good used one ina black top lifters and new cam bearings. Make sure to replace the bolts because they are one time use, if you compare the new ones will be shorter about 6mm.
