Big boost problem help!!!

[rogers]

i was having trouble with my ibiza;s boost early in the week wen it was only boosting 10-12psi instead of around 18psi. It was put on a VAG-COM and found that it was mostley my MAF sensor that was toasted and not working properly(as i found it was a comman fault) and so i ordered a new part.
after fitting the new part disconnecting the battery for a while, there was absoulely no boost, 1-2psi if any, also i have the APR sofwear on my car and the cruise control button than operates it wil not ingage the software but the cruise control will work, this all was working until the maf sensor was fitted today. I then had it on the VAG-COM today and i was told it looked like it was in limp mode by philw. He will be posting the fault codes and the VAG-COM readout when he gets back. I have tried unpluging the maf sensor to see if it will run better but it is exactly the same.

any help will be much apprieated thanks

Limp is 5psi dude.

Can you hear the turbo spooling?

 

[Martyn]

Are you sure you've not put the car in Valet mode?

 

[rogers]

ye thats wot i dont understand, How do i know if its in valet mode??? thanks

 

[rogers]

i havent put it it valet mode, i have disconnected the battery and that is it.

Do you have the lock out program?

It defaults to that if the battery is disconnected!

 

[rogers]

i dont know if i have a lock out program? how do i tell if i have? and how do i get out of it?

 

[Ju.]

Did you have APR put on?
Lockout stops anybody messing with the settings through the cruise switch and gives the appearance that no code is accessible through the cruise
You have to input your 4 digit pin to unlock the ECU

 

[rogers]

no, the last owner had it put on, is this the most likly outcome of come? im gone have to get hold of the pin code? how is this possible and where do u enter the code???

 

[m0rk]

you enter the code using the cruise stalk, but you need to know what it is.

most are the same though, 1,2,3,4 I think (so kinda pointless) but it's worth seeing if it's written on any of the receipts you might have got when you bought the car

 

[rogers]

ok thanks for that, how exactly do u enter it? i no pressing the stalk but nothing really happends wen i do it, so how do i enter 1,2,3,4 etc

i have tryed this mate and it isnt working, that is the problem tho becasue the ebc light is staying on, i am not sure of the pin code as i have not got it, so i tried 1,2,3,4 as you said but no luck. do u think awesome gti will have a record of the pin code??

 

[rogers]

bump

Hi mate, I chose my own pin code as part of the anti-theft
You're best of speaking to awesome, or the previous owner, as to any programs that have been put on the car
I know when I had my battery off recently it went into lockout mode
If the previous owner had cruise installed, it makes sense that he had different programs put on

 

[rogers]

ye awesome il be able to sort it out i hope, hope they have a records of the pins etc, otherwise i dont no wot i can do, but the problem is the guy i bought it off lives miles away from me, have to speak to them in the morning? wots the best thing to say to them???

 

[Ju.]

Just tell them your problem, they're good guys . If they can help , they will!!

 

[rogers]

well do u think they will be able to hep then? wots the normal procedure for such a problem?

 

[Ju.]

As I've said before, just ask them they are APR experts, not sure they'll know the pin though if there is one , but they should be able to reset it.

 

[rogers]

well thanks for the helf there guys iv got boost now! got hold of the last owner and managed to get the pin off him which i am well happy about!!!
