thanks,keith/mike/and trev. ive got an ecu on the way from a sound chap off the rado forum,and for the price of the postage! cant thank him enough,superb! thanks a lot for the offer trev,appreciate it m8. last night darren at g-werks ran through some tests with me over the phone (big help,thanks darren!) and we basically found that all sensors are fine,all vaccuum is fine,and all earths have little resistance including the ecu earths. so really it left the ecu or the new chip. after speaking to darren i put the old superchip back in,and the problem was still there i had so much hope! but obviously it wasnt gonna be that easy for me! but at least its pointing towards the ecu now. ive just got a horrible feeling that wont be it either,but its the only feckin thing left to try surely! apart from maybe the t-body i ported/polished but darren reckons it looks ok,or maybe a bottom end problem,but it dosnt use a drop of oil. tis breathing heavy out the rocker though,which it didnt do before. thanks to everyone who has helped or just wished me luck in sorting it and i think im on my way to making a decision on a possible new car... neil.

do they have a lamda probe on a g60? could it be a knackered cat? my mates mums polo gt had running problems turned out to be a f**ked cat. Edited by: Jettas
just had a read thought i think they're just a company who do repairs. i thought it would of had a cat tbh is the little rubber on the end of the pipe off the exhaust manifold ok?
f**king is, i love that car, hate to see a good fella being p***** around by a f**king car! HAS to be the ecu. you've done a compression test then?
not as yet,looking at all the pistons and valves,it looks to be burning really nice and evenly,and theres not 'a lot' of carbon build up. if the ecu dosnt sort it (praying!) can i give you a shout on the compression tester rick? had a read through the link,not much i can understand really cheers,neil.
This reminds me a bit of my scorocco when the fuel pump was almost dead, it started backfiring into the inlet manifold too, hard enough to blow the induction pipes off the airflow meter. no idea what it was causing tbh, but a new fuel pump solved it.
thanks m8,the cars just one of many problems unfortunately oh and, the rev counter stopped working today,jesus christ its just one thing after another thanks rick,ill give you a shout on it if need be. neil.
i really dont know m8,its just fecked man << gotta laugh eh? i just had it ticking over in the hope that it magically fixed itself and while popping my head in to check temps etc,going through the mfa,the rev counter just dropped and didnt move again. didnt affect anything else either...

its just it takes the feed for the rev counter off the coil... if the coils f**ked it may cause poo running.
