the bcm should be fine. but the pcm (ecm) will need to be replaced with a supercharged pcm. and im entirley sure but i think the engine loom is different too but all these components are plug and play

i have undone and tightened the nuts at the back of the cluster. the fault has not happened since however it is not unusuall for it not to fault for weeks an then just randomly do it. i will keep an eye on it and updagte this thread if the fault continues chears

yeah kinda like what i said earlier im with you jxw like i said its very strange to have all those codes log a the same time (and all are circuit faults) . it could have a bad earth to the ecu which is another thing worth looking at.

before you look at a new valve body check for a blown fuse, it looks like from the codes stored that the valve body has got no power suply to it. it is very strange to have the entire valvebody die all at once also check the wiring going to the auto. it plugs in on the drivers side of the...

thanks jxw taping the cluster dosnt seem to do anything, iv had the car for about 4 years (my brother owns it now but as im a mechanic i still work on it) it used to drop out a lot (needle bouncing around from 0 to actual speed) and tapping the cluster fixed that. rectived that fault by making...

thanks for the quick reply no fault codes active in the ecm. the vss has been replaced as the car has been converted to manual with the suitable changes made to the speedo wiring loom. however the speedo fault was there with the same symptoms before the conversion was carried out. which is why...

hi all i have a vr berlina series one with a speedo that cuts out from time to time i know their are heaps of threads out there for this issue but i have been unable to find one with the particular fault mine has 90% of the time the speedo is fine, but every now an then it drops out...

check the hose that goes from the canister purge solenoid (located at the rear of the drivers side head) under the inlet plenum to the throttle body. very common issue

i agree sounds like an key issue the key has to talk to the bcm in order for the car to start. the key code required is stored in the bcm. you say you swaped over the remote to suit the bcm but it sounds like that remote is dead. get a new remote coded and it should be fine.

it is very hard to tell from the video but you say its comming from the bell housing. id take off that lower cover plate and see if anything falls out, it almost sounds like a bolt is rattling around as it hits the flexplate.

thanks for the quick response guys i will have to get the fault codes read off to see what it is before i start throwing parts at it a mate of mine has a scaner at his work, im a mechanic myself but as i work at a volvo dealership i don't have a scan tool at my disposal. to clear up another...

hey everyone i have been fitting fog lights to a mates vz s ute the install went fine but after the install was complete it continues to flash up the "service vehicle soon" display on the dash. during the install i did have the battery disconected. we also were at one stage using the ecu...

im almost sure that the first ones with the 90 degree ball joint werent released until vy, they can be fitted but you would need a vy swaybar, but there is nothing wrong with the other aftermarket links they are a marked improvment on the original sway bar links.

it sounds like the auto might be getting tired mate. one thing you can try is disconect the ecu for 10mins to reset the transmissions adaptive shift map and see if it improves, i dont think it will work but its worth a shot.

If the dfi fails it will not log a code, the ecu isnt smart enough to recognise a fault in the dfi, but as the dfi is the link between the ecu and the crank angle sensor it may in some cases log a crank angel sensor code

check in your owners manual for a card that as the code on it this was suplied from the factory, also look in the manual on the inside of the back cover it is somtimes writen on the inside of the back cover or somthing like that. if you have no joy with that any privite mechanic will be able to...
