Title: cdl engine problems
Post by: betts on November 14, 2013, 05:11:46 pm
I currently own a prefacelift mk2 Leon cupra which I've just had to replace the engine due to a piston melting and scoring the bore anyway I've replaced the engine with a cdl engine from a golf r, everything's been fitted and it's running ok but when I come to a stop the revs will rise up to between 2-3k rpm and then slowly fall back to a normal idle, I've also had an engine management light pop on and the car has an intermittent missfire, it will be running fine and the then for a few seconds it will be like the cars running on 3 cylinders and then it's fine again. Any ideas guy because after spending 3k on the car I was expecting for everything to be fine

Do some forum searching, I remember something similar with a cdl engine and it was that a different sensor was needed depending on ECU.

Sorry to be a pain but have you got any idea what sensor will need changing?

From memory I'd guess the map sensor...but I maybe wrong.

Yeah it's the map sensor but you only need to change that if upgrading from a car that previously had a K03, the Cupra has a K04 as standard so should have the 3 bar (I think it is) map sensor.

The golf had a dsg gearbox if that helps. I thought with the cars revs rising after coming to a stop it may be fuel pump related but I havnt got a clue, I'm at the end of my tether  :sick:

Yep, needs logging to determine the fault. There are quite a few faults that could do similar to what you are describing, including the runner flap position fault or throttle body fault to name a few. Unless it is logged and you get a code to work from you could just end up doing needless work. :smiley:

The PCV is the Positive Crankcase Ventilation valve.. it controls the amount of vacuum present in the crankcase, in other words it's a more sophisticated system than cars which simply feature a breather pipe which links into the air intake pipe.

If your PCV fails, you may experience rough running amongst other symptoms.

Id check the PCV first. Easy way of checking just search the forum plenty of threads. Second id check for a air vacume leak somewhere. Maybe get a smoke test done.
