The forums will be offline for maintenance on Friday 15th November at 10pm for up to an hour. Thank you for your patience.
Have you unplugged your throttle body recently?
If you did, did you do a TB alignment afterwards?
Mine died heaps of times after i unplugged mine and forgot to realign the TB
No haven't unplugged anything, its weird,
Mrs just came home now and said car was playing up on way home but she cant explain it she said its like it didn't wanna go fast
still no ecu light tho and cant find anyone with vagcom to scan the car for me
Whats that meant to say in english?
i second that
i see now i know what a crank sensor is but never heard of it refered to as speed sensor.
Still struggling to find someone with vagcom, i have put 2 threads up in that section asking for help.
Also messaged Badger5 (Bill) as he was helpful before when i went down to him
yeah good shout bills been great helping me out with mine in the past too.
hope you get it sorted anyway

cheers,
need to get it sorted else the Mrs will want to get rid as she uses it every day for work and we have a little one on the way and she doesn't trust it
Will be bye bye Cupra BYE BYE FUN
Would the crank/speed sensor be located at the back lefthand side of the gearbox as you look from above?
Could it also be known as an angle sensor via vagcom?
Reason i ask, is that im having a problem, where i have awful idleing and somtimes stalls on itself, im also unable to do a TBA somtimes but everytime i remove the sensor and clean it with IPA it will allow me to do a TBA. 5 mins later back to being broke - clean again and its fine.
Obviously it controls your speedo but does it help control anything else?
I`ve orderd the sensor from Seat and on the invoice it did say speed sensor didnt mention anything about a crank sensor.
Sorry to hijack!
its ok,
The car does idle lumpy some times, normally when HOT tho, perhaps we could be getting somewhere.
Are the sensors expensive?
Its difficult to say what it is, if not impossible without a fault code, doing that narrows it right down.
If this fault only happens when the engine has a chance to warm up it sounds very much like the G28 Engine Speed/ Crankshaft sensor, someone else had the exact same issues, but this came up as a fault code.
You can get a fault code reader off ebay for about £30, ive got one and it always works well.
Lots of good people on here who can help if you provide the fault codes, and will help you get it sorted without the kind of 'change everything till we find it' mechanics method!

i got a cheap OBDII of of ebay and vagcom off the ross tech website but cable cant find interface so been tyring to sort it out with the bloke i bought it from,
I want vagcom and will be buying it once i get the spare cash but dont want to spend it on that until i fix the car, bit of a catch 22 situation
Do you mean you cant find the obd connection point on the car?

no i know where it is
i plug it in and then test the port as it tells you too but it says,
port status ok
interface not found
whatever that means.
the chap was helpful and said he'd find out and sort it for me or refund me, it was only about £13
yeah with it on m8
will check that out, it was on a diagnostic computer on sat as i keep getting SAI fault as its knackered but no other faults came up.
Hopefully someone will help me out with their vagcom for a price
So it showed no faults, im thinking this only happens when warm/hot?
The following sound inanely simple but are very important, and will not give fault codes;
I would check the air filter, make sure its clean. why? - cold air has more volume, any restriction in filter means when engine warms up intake air is warmer and less volume, hence air starvation and overfuelling.
With above, thoroughly check air intake pipe to throttle body.
Also I would definately take out and check the spark plugs as this could tell you what the engine is doing ie overfuelling etc.
If plugs are black, then clean them, replace, and i would advise cleaning the throttle body and running a fuel cleaner through.
