88 200T ecu check? where is it?
Hello fellow listers,
I've an 88 200T auto with a KG engine and a MAC-05 ECU, and I'm hoping
someone can help me out there?
I've a couple of problems, first unlike most other listers (or so it seems)
I'm a little short on equipment under the bonnet (hood). The fuel pump relay
that everyone keeps talking about doesn't have a place to put a fuse in! so I
can't get the codes out<g>, so all I can do is now watch the disco lights on
the dash board, instead of fixing it! It also appears that my car is not
fitted with the O2 sensor, also I can't find the valve for the waste gate. All
there appears to be is a pipe coming from the top of the wastegate going to
nowhere.. it simply stops in mid engine bay? (I think Mr Laforge would liken
it to a temporal warp where all the extra parts are sucked into another
reality ?maybe an MC reality?)
As a whole, the car runs very well, but has recently suffered a drop in MPG
(by 8MPG overall), and is becoming a little bit of a pump hog! I know that my
right foot can be a little on the heavy side, but that's a different story!
I would like to get a little more oomph from the engine, ( after reading the
manuals and posts, it appears that the auto boxes were boost restricted) and
have been considering putting the manual box WG spring in. Would I also have
to put a manual ECU in or do I keep the same? Does anyone have any information
on the Hitachi parts used??
TIA
Mark!
P.S. In the manuals it states that the 1B engine is 191bhp, KG is 174bhp and
the MC is 157bhp. Which Audi had the 1B engine?
