No he didn't specify but he said it is fixable

So is there any uprated/larger ones or is it just replace with oem?

Let bring this thread back up.

Afternoon I am so happy  :grin:

My car runs again, finally. Its so fast and smooth its better than before.

The problem was my ECU with the voltage, it manage to mess up the throttle body sensors and the manifold inlet. But I never actually never needed a new manifold as my old one still works they both were tried and tested.
So it was supposed to be a little job to repair the ECU it took around a week and a lot of road tests. I still have manage to keep my map the downside it cost me 588euro without tax 19% just for the repair of the ECU. but I have a warranty so hopefully they will be no more mishaps.

I will keep you posted as last time it took around 1,000miles for a new error to occur.

thanks

Glad to hear it's sorted, however why wouldn't you get another ECU from eBay and get it coded to the car?  Did this a few times on my older SAAB's, perhaps it's more complex on the GTI.

ECU's are expensive arent they. Plus I dont pay tax in Germany. And then I would have to also had to buy a new map which arent cheap ;/

Not sure about the GTI, but used to get the T5/T7 ECU's for about £50 and put my own maps on via T5/T7 suite.  Guess you could explain the situation to the tuner, most would be accomodating I'm sure.... Annnyway, it's all sorted and your back on the road. :happy2: :driver:

I have to apologise to the nice chap that bought my car... He picked it up Saturday, all running fine, text me after his 4hour drive home saying that i'd set the car fantastically and it's one of the best cars he'd driven...

Got a text Friday night to say the car had been in garage from Wednesday as the throttle body died, won't rev over 2700rpm.. :( Such a shame... he still loves the car so thats all good, just one of those unfortunate things i suppose...

So, when will yours fail... As a good man said to me, it's the TB lottery  :signLOL:

I'm getting the error which cupra_buzz is seeing and a brand new ECU hasn't resolved the problem.

001602 - Sensor Reference Voltage A: Circuit
               P0642 - 002 - Low - Intermittent - MIL ON

Problems started from the (now) common throttle body failure, this was replaced then for this code and the RFM failure code so had the RFM replaced but this hasn't resolved the problem.
