  1. Sir pls do revert me back if possible do just pls drop me a message on whatsapp my number is 9545455995

  2. Hey Guys, My Driver's side power window was acting funny, it would roll up in increments. And finally the door control module just gave way. When this happened, central locking and power windows on the other doors were working fine. When I removed the Door control module, all central locking and power windows stopped working. I replaced the defective door module with a new one, but still nothing works. When my mechanic tweaks it, he can get either the Driver's door locking or the Driver's power window to work. The other three don't and the central locking and power window don't work together. Also now the Auto open/close function doesn't work. Any help? Do i need to do any recoding? I think it's highly unlikely that all the remaining Door control modules suddenly stopped working all at once. Could also be a wiring issue, which we are going to check once the rain subsides. Regards, Sprucegoose
  3. fixed... got the fuel gauge off the local flea market. Works now
  4. Yeah, I know... Does anyone have the part number? Here they are asking for a sample, but I don't have the correct one
  5. did that... same issue... that's the strange thing, swapped the wires on the gauge itself, and got the same. No fuel shows full tank and vice versa
  6. Hey guys, The fuel gauge on my vRS is acting strange..... it is working upside down. When the tank is full, it shows empty and when the tank is empty it shows full. I recently changed the fuel gauge on the fuel sender unit. My mechanic is telling me that the fuel gauge is from a diesel Skoda that's why it's not working. But unfortunately i don't have the original Fuel Gauge. The number on the fuel gauge circuit is 647. Does anyone have a high res image of the fuel sender unit with number on the fuel gauge circuit showing? Also, both the door control modules on the right side are not working. We are planning to fix those as new modules aren't available in India. Regards, Shekhar
  7. I want it just as a project. don't really need it. This is just something I want to do. My only issues are that the parts are not available in India, so I want to do as much research as I can before I decide to do it or not. Importing Vehicles into India is really expensive. we've got like a 300% import duty on second hand cars.
  8. Getting parts from a scrapped Yeti will be far far cheaper than any other option. but are the parts the same? from the Yeti and the 4x4 Octy? Will the amount of work be the same if I import the 4x4 Octy parts or if I procure Yeti parts. My car currently has the AUM 1.8T 20V engine and is a manual transmission. I presume I will need to mate the entire transmission [front and rear] with the original engine. With the 4x4 Octy, all the parts will be bolt on, except that i'll have to fabricate a read differential mounting point right? and then use 4x4 suspension on it. The only 4x4 VAG vehicles sold in India as far as i know are the Skoda Yeti Audi Q series SUVs Audi Quattro vehicles [A4 Quattro].
  9. I am also interested in doing a AWD conversion for my vRS. Unfortunately, the 4x4 Octy was not sold in India. We do have the AWD Yeti though, will it be possible to use parts from that car? I read your thread on the Citigo 4x4 conversion, it was damn cool. I presume an Octy conversion would be simpler right?
  10. Hey guys, where can i find the part number of the Rear Right Power Window control module? The one that controls the central locking and window? Here are the numbers I got off the Part: on Plastic: >PA6-GF40+TPE< On Sticker: 104420-302 05 072 95 HW12 S0202 200704 22 1931
  11. I'm from Mumbai. and now it's louder and more crowded than it's ever been. Kerala is a beautiful place. God's own country as they call it. We've got a lot of Stage 1 & 2 remapped vRS's here and they run on 93 Octane fuel just fine. A friend of mine has a stage 2 and he was telling me that with my FMIC, Airfilter and FFE if I do a stage 2 remap, i'll be churning out around 220 to 240 WHP. and here a Stage 2 remap is marginally more expensive than a Stage 1 Remap. but then i'll need to get uprated brakes and suspension as well, which are REALLY expensive.
  12. Thanks alot guys, Ambient temperature in the summer in India does get really [censored] hot. In the afternoons it generally crosses the 45 Degree Celcius mark with really high humidity. You can't live without the AC. Right now in Jan [an Indian Winter] at 3:00 PM its already around 32 Degrees in the shade. Out here, tuners generally advise against water injection. they say it's not worth the effort or money. Besides the regular fuel in India is 88 Octane. and the Premium Petrol is 91 or 93 Octane. Their logic is if they had good enough fuel, then they would do water injection and stuff.
  13. The tuner is a very close friend of mine, so that won't be a problem. And I'm getting quite a Large Front Mounted Intercooler. Will be mounting it in front of the radiator. Hopefully the radiator fan will help cool it when idling. What is a boost surge condition? As for a proper remap, I don't have any personal experience, but a friend is driving a Stage 2 remapped vRS and swears by it. The only problem he has is that his coil packs have failed twice. What is the difference between and AUM and AUQ engine? Can I run an AUQ map on an AUM engine?
  14. That's the plan. Getting an FMIC, and in a couple of months [because of cash flow problems] getting a Stage 1 Remap. Getting a Fairly large FMIC. My tuner, tuned a vRS to around 250 - 300 WHP with the same one. But that car had a lot more modifications. Thanks man, will PM you my email address. I know a tuner, will try to get it done for free. The Stock is good, very good infact, but i'll eventually want more power I usually get an FFE and Air Filter installed. This is my first turbo charged car, so getting an FMIC also. Eventually [when the cash scene permits] I'll get a remap done too. Yup, I know. A good remap is generally more powerful and smoother than a stock Map. Wanted to see if I could use the Stock UK map as an interim solution, before I do a proper Stage 1 Remap. Hoping to save on some moolah.
  15. the word in India says its between 140 ad 160. Is there any way I can get a UK spec map on my car? and will it have any adverse effects on the engine?
