Sarah-n-Tuned - I just figured out what I like about your channel... When things go wrong you say what's on your mind - as lots of people do - but you never lose your enthusiasm. You treat your cars as if you've taken a Hippocratic Oath to make them better, no matter how small the problem (or how obscure the error code). Too many of us have given up mid-project when things go wrong, or worse, not started projects for fear of failing. Anyone who has avoided doing something they love for this reason should watch your channel to get re-inspired. Thanks!

Secondary O2 sensor is to verify if CAT is working properly. If you don't have a CAT then install the elbow on Secondary O2 and that will stop if from giving a fault. The elbow will heat up the sensor tricking ECU into thinking its working properly.

Watch out, your coolant sensor is a dual sensor that feeds the ECU and Instrument panel separately, read the block from the ECU then read it through the instrument panel block, if the reading is different, check the connector for the sensor (4 wires) if they check out ok then its the sensor to blame, although gauges on the mk1 are known to fail.

I see a lot of people suggesting the re-installation of the o2 sensor elbow. I would suggest simply tuning the rear sensor out since you already have NefMoto. Your tuner can probably do it for pretty cheap, but I found the learning process of tuning to be really fun. I used TunerPro (free program) to edit the .bin file and NefMoto for my 1.8t to delete the rear o2, EGR, SAI, and VVT successfully without any check engine light or "ghost codes." It is a little difficult at first but you seem like an intelligent lady, if I can do it then so can you!

I was impressed with your quick troubleshooting of the DV not working properly when you didn't have boost, by the way, nice intuition. Glad it was a simple fix. The mbar readings are absolute pressure, so ignore the first 1000(or 900 since you live in the sky) and if you're seeing 2400mbar(I think the sensor tops at 2500) you're building 1.4Bar of boost, or about 20psi!

The second O2 is only there to check if the cat is still working. Since the car is de-cat, the second sensor reads it as a faulty cat. The ECU is actually doing everything right, removing the catalyst converter made a mess of things. And removing it doesn't even make the car any faster. That was only a fact until the late nineties. Nowadays a de-cat really doesn't matter, apart from introducing fault codes.

Hi Sarah, try plugging the dv directly into manifold vacuum and bypass the n249. Leave the n249 plugged into the harness. As long as you get the pesshhh sound and not the woowoowoo when you're backing off the throttle, your dv isn't to tight. I had to crank mine down all the way. You can also take the little round cover plate off and make sure it is closed at idle. Think about a boost/vacuum gauge. Good job on your tune.

Well done with the flash, glad you're pleased by how he puts you in the seat now. And again, I appreciate the quotes on stage! Sounds like the fans are back to pulsing, not constant high speed. Are they still on at key on engine off? and lets get nerdy... As others have said, terminal 30(constant power circuit) is probably nothing to worry about, unless your upstream heater circuit fault returns, O2 heater circuits are the highest load circuit through the ECM, so a bad ground could be throwing things off. The heater circuits are the 2 white wires on each O2, fused power supplied at key on and the ECM controls ground to allow them to heat up to a temperature where the sensing element is functional, > ~300*C. The heater elements specs in resistance from 1 to about 15 ohms, and is Positive Temperature Coefficient, so raises as it heats up, which is why the wires are kind of small, it's only carrying up to 15A for a second, they're not 200W heater elements once they start working. You'll be in for a few simple voltage and continuity checks on that downstream sensor harness as long as the upstream heater circuit fault doesn't return, it'll get a little deeper if it does. The 16514 (P0130) was caused by either that sensor you removed being bad, or that it was spaced out of the exhaust stream, and not properly sensing Oxygen content. The purpose of those defoulers is to trick the downstream sensor into creating a more linear voltage, as normally the cat would be 'buffering' the Oxygen content it would see, where as the upstream(or DS with no cat in front of it) will normally be switching back and forth from a higher to lower Oxygen content in your exhaust, we can go into how the sensing circuit compares exhaust oxygen content to ambient levels, and creates a voltage potential another time! Your catalyst monitor should be turned off on your 'off-road use only' TT, so it shouldn't matter, but cat monitoring faults are set when the switching period of the downstream sensor is too rapid, indicating that the cat isn't properly using it's heavy metals to allow for a full redox reactions of the bad stuff coming out of the engine. After you clear up the P1114/P1118, if you set a P0420 fault, toss that elbow on the DS O2 sensor. Both door lock actuators being bad would be strange, not that the shape of that car was normal when you got him. There's not a specific fuse for the locking motors in the latches, both are supplied by the Central Locking/Convenience Module. Do the doors lock/unlock electrically with the interior button? If not, it is probably going to be a power supply to that module, check fuse 37 and 38 on the LH dash before going any deeper at least. Now that you're well versed and comfortable with Nefmoto, let's nerd out a little more and pull your Cluster's EEProm dump to see if someone previously linearized your temp gauge. You'll need different software, I use VAG EEPROM Programmer, and a $15 KKL cable to get it. Or, you can accept that your gauge is now more linear than factory(maybe, checking and doing it properly might be worth it) which for adding power is a good thing, gauge reading on center from 80-110*C isn't that great of an indicator when you're asking for more than stock out of that engine. Crazy that just removing that defouler caused random misfires... crap, I don't know how to make a winky face thing here! Thanks for another great video!

There is a common problem with the temp gauge on the mk1 TT , often has issues with the fuel gauge too as they are linked and it will give a false reading. Temp gauge is often slow to move and then jumps to around 100 but rarely goes any higher. Cluster swap is the easiest fix and you can use vcds to adapt the new one to your car.

Hi Sarah, you can try the anti fouler on the REAR o2. I've never heard of it being on the upstream o2. It's there so the downstream o2 reads less emissions than upsteam o2. The downstream will read less the farther away from the stream. If there is no cat, the second o2 needs to be out of the stream

The terminal 30 voltage too low is just because you didn't start the car in the amount of time the car wanted you to. So while it expected at least 13.8 volts from your alternator, the engine was not on so you only had the 12 volts from the battery. Just a tip from a fellow mk1 tt owner.
