It was a little more than that Stephen had commented that occasionally the shifter would get stuck, and on investigation I discovered a fault code in the TCU for the V110 shifter interlock solenoid. Since I had a spare shifter I swapped it over. V110 is the silver cylinder on the bottom left of the shifter here.
Old shifter removed - this is how much stuff you have to remove to get to it Replacement fitted I forgot to take any more pics of putting the rest of the interior in. Stephen's and Jim's had to play bunk beds for a night until Stephen's went home! Since Stephen's had just had all its leaks fixed, it got top bunk Who's sleeping in my bed? The last step - a new relay box cover made from marine ply. I wanted to infuse this with polyester resin to make it completely waterproof but I ran out of time. I'll do that next time. A brace of beautiful black Final Editions basking in the sunshine Stephen's waiting to be picked up, Jim's waiting to come in. |

I’m going to suggest a new trophy fr the Annual Meet - for the person who posts a D2 question that MJ doesn’t answer in almost no time at all! Apart from this amazing lady’s knowledge and mechanical expertise (should that be ‘genius’?), her commitment to this forum is outstanding! Just need to find out her favourite tipple to take when I pick the car up. I’m running out of superlatives!

Underneath it all however, he was basically in very good nick - as MJ's comments about the engine condition show - but just needed a good thorough service and lots of little(ish...) jobs done. Oh, and the Milltek fitted . It is extraordinary how much better the car now feels and drives - almost as responsive as my Tesla now, which is saying something. And well worth booking an appointment with the doctor, David. You know you want to.

I am having the said same issue with my VCDS Lite. Actually with my cheapo reader as well. The cheapo says linking error, VCDS unable to connect. Did you go direct to the ECU or are there prior items to check? I have checked the terminals at the OBD2 port and all seems good, used a breakout box and the resistance between terminals also seems to check out.

I checked continuity between the OBDII port and the ecu box connector, which was fine, and then from the ecu box connector to the ecu itself, which wasn't.
Do you have wiring diagrams? I know the diag pin on the ecu is #43 but I can't remember which plug it's on in the ecu box. |

I think I have diagrams, just need a quick refresh. Will go digging next week.
