[s-cars] Poll: Who's using a 1.8T coil conversion

Wed Dec 29 10:32:03 PST 2010

Have you checked the wiring to the ECU? You might also want to try to borrow an ECU for testing. Bob Myers I'm sure can send you one, but I know you won't want to give it back because it will have MRC software on it ;-).
