    ESP Failure - Urgent advice required please!

    is it only the esp light or abs as well? Had this problem, which was cleared after cleaning rear wheel sensor. Should not have a problem driving the car thoiugh. If only the ESP, it could be the steering wheel position sensor which do tend to go.

    boost controler on Ibiza?

    Yes, it will take a few 10-15 seconds above/below to pop limp mode. A 130 peaking at 30psi??? That is a bit much. a stock 130 should peak around 1.55-1.70bar max on overboost. 30psi is over 2 bar so either your meter is faulty or you might have a problem with the vnt mechanism.

    help me If you can ?? you must read it .

    There are quite a few places that do turbos, including allard (sell turbos and/ with custom maps). Turbo dynamics also do turbos. Remember that you are in very hot country so you need to also look after fuel, oil and intake temps (along with EGT temps).

    boost controler on Ibiza?

    problem on boost is +0.3bar over requested = limp mode increasing boost will give you a bit more torque, but you need the xtra fuel for + hp.

    boost controler on Ibiza?

    On a diesel a fuel controller would be more appropriate...;) The tuning boxs and evry mods basically do this (but without a knob in dash). It basically fools the ECU into injecting more fuel.

    Lowering kit for Toledo....

    IIRC the golf 3 rear suspension was slightly changed in '93 or '94 models, so you'll want something that'll fit a golf 3 before that.

    mufflerectomy...

    the sound will actually also depend on the remap...;) If your running with the vnt.mech fully open the exhaust sound will be slightly different (deeper sounding).

    boost controler on Ibiza?

    I really can't see you controlling boost spikes that way. Especially since spikes are 2-3 second events (usually).

    mufflerectomy...

    As Stew mentions there's really not alot in the change. You do get better spool-up and cooler EGTs which is a very good thing (and higher mpg).

    boost controler on Ibiza?

    boost is hardcoded in tables on ECU so I dought it will work unless you change codes and increase the +- deviation tables for limp mode. BTW....Makes no sense

    Injector Pump?

    1st clean the contacts on wiring harness (left hand side of motor). If that doesn't work then swap the internal harness (runs under cam cover and is easily accessible). Not hard to do and also not expensive (around 70 euros). The cable comes with all conections/connectors so pretty easy to do.

    Leon 110 TDI - Limp Mode Last Night

    hi mik, if going full out for sometime it could actually me positive boost deviation (+0.3 bar boost more than requested). Usually happens on very hot days during long runs. high boost with higher than usual intake temps will make the boost creep up over time. Just an idea...;)

    help me If you can ?? you must read it .

    chipping the car will get you more speed, but not really that much. without increasing top end breathing (probably with a bigger turbo) and a special map for more top end rpm, your not going to get much.

    Lowering kit for Toledo....

    Pretty sure suspension is the same as the early golf 3. IIRC FK make some lower springs 60/40 or there abouts. If you need a strut brace, I've got a brand new one for sale in the for sale section (old post)..:whistle:
