Arosa back to life.

rramalho · Aug 1, 2019

Hello From Portugal.

we have in the family a Seat Arosa that was put away in storage for a few years and now needs to be back on the road.

but he doesnt´want to be on the road again ....need help to turn this around

Best Regards.

Arosa 1.0 from 1998 with 103.900km´s. AER engine.

The car idles poorly and failed it´s MOT on high values of unburned fuel.

Actually the car at idle stinks of fuel and alsor uses fuel like mad.

Since the car was off the road for a couple of years it had :

New cambelt , water pump , spark plugs , cap and rotor , oil , all filters changed , new water temp sensor , throttle body cleaned , o2 sensor cleaned , throttle aligned , injectors cleaned , oilcatch can on the back of the engine cleaned , all vacuum pipes replaced ,all 8 hydraulic lifters replaced , compression tested and equal on all cylinders . The problem still persist after all of this work done.

Still won´t idle properly jumping from 500 to 800 and sometimes almost stalling , when flooring the pedal the engine will bog down and slowly pickup revs , but if the throttle is progressively pressed it pulls fine all the way do the redline .

Two things i don´t know if it´s normal :

removing and plugin the vacuum hose from the intake to the fuel regulator does nothing .
the pipe coming from the air filter to the box behind the engine is pulling vacuum , without the pipe connected the values during the MOT falled from HC 400 to less the 200.
turning the rear window heater bumps the revs to 800 and engine is smooth , still stinks of unburned fuels but idle sits at 800rpm.

I have attached few screenshots from VCDS lite with all Measuring Blocks from 01 to 09 .

There is only one stored error that keeps coming up .

00561 - mixture adaptation adaptation limit (add) not reached

...injectors cleaned

1. How? Proper ultrasonic bath, with correct solvent, then flow and leakdown tested?
2. Have you pulled the injectors from the manifold to see if they are weeping fuel under system pressure?
3. Had a fuel pressure gauge on the system pressure side? What's it doing on Key on, crank, running, soft tip-in of throttle, hard jab of throttle? How long does it take to reach zero on key off? (sorry, I don't know if that engine has a common fuel rail or not).
4. Verified other sensor inputs are working in plausible range? If the ECU thinks engine temp is cooler than it really is, it will enrich the mixture.
5. What does the exhaust look like? White smoke? Black smoke? Blue smoke? Water vapour?
6. Smell fuel in the oil?

rramalho · Aug 1, 2019

Thanks for the reply.

1. Injectors sent to a specialist shop and where ultrasonic cleaned and tested.

2.No but will try.

3.the fuel rail doesn't have a Schrader valve where i can plug the gauge.but i have a new fuel pressure regulator to install.

4. The water temp sensor was replaced by a new one . The temp showing on VCDs matches the temp where the fan sensor turns the fan on .

5. Tip of the exhaust is black , black smoke on heavy acceleration and strong smell of gasoline.

6.no smell of fuel and oil looks fresh.

O2 sensor is black.

I cannot get mutch info from VCDs . And the list of measuring blocks don't fit the values above.

I do find that the MAP reported intake air temperature to be always near 34 degrees or 32.5 after engine at normal operating temperature .and i was expecting the values to change faster.

That's because this old ECU doesn't have much info to give to VCDS.

I have an ancient label file for the AER engine in German only. Maybe you find it useful:

Thank you so mutch Uwe !

Yes , not Vcds fault !!! vcds can´t read sensors that don´t exists.

The engine has almost no sensors , 5 in total for the engine lol.

I will translate to English

My beloved Audi 8l was hit when parked by an uninsured driver , and my insurance company won´t give-me a cortesy car .

So i have to drive the tiny Arosa or rent a car for god nows how many days...

rramalho · Aug 2, 2019

Based on the log i made on the way home and on the info Uwe provided.

002,2, injection time ,, Specification: 3.1 ... 8.1 ms

I see most of the times values higher then 8.1ms ...up to 16.2ms @3600rpm.

That "3.1 ... 8.1 ms" is only valid at idle, not under load.

Hello again

@Uwe . What are the values needed to record to get an overview of this problem ?

Little update.

Going thru all the sensors with a multimeter , and using the autodata-group manual as reference there are two measurements that don´t comply with the factory values.

MAP Sensor show 1.5v to 1.6v at Idle when it should be 0.9v . using Pin 1 and 4 . Based on some charts online , 1.7V is halfway open throttle . Idle should be at max 1.1v

MAP Sensor show up to 2.2V when blipping the throtlle , it should climb to 3.8v and stay there for a second.

Also ,

MAP readings where droping from 1.5 to ~0.4v and the engine would missfire after that . there was a slight delay between the values droping and the engine to missfire.

Arosa back to life.
