Another VR6 idle question

[VR28LT]

honestly not sure if youre being sarcastic or not >.> but yeah, it is a VR and when I do city driving I get roughly 250km's to a tank

lol my bad, for some reason I thought you owned a 4 banger

Yea but if you wanted good fuel economy a vr swap isn't the right way to do it haha. Tomorrow I'll check the voltage to the coolant temp sensor and scan for codes

Where are you getting codes scanned?

There is 3 things you need to change all in one hit !!
They sort of rely on one another.
All I remember rite now is the blue sensor, can't think of the other 2 rite now.
Buy genuine and not second hand !
I'm sure it's not that expensive from the dealer.
And the fuses blowing, seems like you've got bad wiring/grounding/faulty component somewhere.

So from a few forums I found that there is a clip under the back seat which you plug into the scan port which will flash out codes using the check engine light on the dash. They also said if there wasn't the connector under the seat, that you can just use a wire or clip of any kind and bridge the 4th and 15th pin hole.
Super strange instructions, it said turn the car to "on" then insert the pin for 2.5 seconds.... :S but regardless, it wouldn't flash out the codes. Has anyone heard of this method before? does it work? I know it works in Hondas, so I figure itd be somewhat similar in the VW

So got no where today, but ill keep this updated when we find the solution

Used this method on my mr2, linked two ports with a paper clip. Then the cel would flash a sequence to indicate numbers.

Problem is. I don't think obd1 has an engine light

Holy **** I've never heard or seen of something so dodgy!
Just take it to your local dealer and tell them the car is running really badly and your just after a quick an simple engine scan. I did this once a few years back at the chatswood dealer, and they did it for free.
MAF and coolant temp sensor are 2, I still can't remember the 3rd, it'll kick in soon though
