Intake Manifold "delete"

[gadgetmind]

Hi guys,

My intakes are now fixed, but what a load of hassle that was just to put out one light!

As a result of going through this, I've started to reverse engineer the communications between the ECU and the flap motor. Let's just say that they haven't tried to make it easy and they check everything. Even the slightest discrepancy and it throws a fault!

Anyway, if I succeed, I may make a flap motor emulator available commercially, so others can avoid the cost and the hassle.

But first, has anyone seen *any* way to tell the ECU there isn't a flap motor via adaptation or coding? I'd hate to go to all this trouble if it can be done with a tickle of the Vagcom lead!

Thanks
