AC93 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Looks good, what kind of power is it running? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightRider1981 Posted December 11, 2016 Author Share Posted December 11, 2016 Thanks. 520bhp at the hubs at TDI so about 600 at the fly on a Tiptronic transmission:cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Bullitt Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 How have you solved the kick down issue with the tiptronic transmission? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Nice Is this the one TDi were considering breaking a few weeks ago? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightRider1981 Posted December 12, 2016 Author Share Posted December 12, 2016 Yes mate it is! TDi have done tons of work on it over the years so much money has gone in to this at lest 30k:blink:i had to get it or i'll be wasting too much money on the Na-t Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_jza80 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 The Fcon must be running piggyback off the stock ECU to control the gearbox, would be interested to see if it has a speed delimiter fitted, and if so, which one. As Frank Bullit said, these cars have a kickdown issue if driven over 120mph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightRider1981 Posted December 12, 2016 Author Share Posted December 12, 2016 Yes that is right the Fcon is running piggyback off the stock ECU,i don't know about the kickdown issue if driven over 120mph this is my 1st Tiptronic...I must admit I still have a lot to learn about everything.

Frank Bullitt Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I'll have to report back to you on that when I get the opportunity... Just be careful, the last thing you need is going past 120/130 and the gearbox kicking down a gear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 If you peel back the passenger floor carpet, the ECU is under a black plastic tray that's held in with a couple of nuts (10mm IIRC). Your ECU wiring will probably have a 'patch lead' harness which goes between the original wiring and ECU, with wires going from that to your FCON. Somewhere these leads there should be a few wires going to a black plastic square with the letters 'SLD' (Speed Limit Defenser). This overrides the stock ECU speed limiter, which allows the car to go beyond 120mph. If it has the incorrect one fitted, the ECU will allow the gearbox to 'kick down' at an unsafe speed, potentially causing lots of nasty and expensive problems. So until you're sure, if you take the car above 120, don't do anything that would make the car 'kickdown' (IE, taking your foot off the accelerator and then putting it down hard again straight away).

j_jza80 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 No worries You're a bit far for me to have a look, but at some point when you want the car servicing it would be worth taking it to SRD or Whifbitz to get the spec looked over.

KnightRider1981 Posted December 13, 2016 Author Share Posted December 13, 2016 Yes mate if you was closer I would popover with her:) yeah this should be getting looked after by Lee. And i was looking at the pages and pages of work that TDI have done and can see it has a HKS SLD Type 2:d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 That's the correct sld for the car. Would be interested in seeing pictures of the wiring, as several people have tried these and they haven't worked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
