oko i recently bought another 91 tsi awd.when i bought it it ran perfect and drove perfect.
The last owner had a SAFC installed but he told me it was just taped in and not soldered in.When i went in to solder the safc in i noticed a couple of wires were not taped the same place as the vfaq for safc wiring.Well of corse i moved them.1 day later the car goes into limp mode.
I checked the TCU and found a leaking cap and a fishie smell. Replaced it and cleaned the board.This had no effect on limp mode.
My main question is "will a misswired SAFC throw a automatic into limp mode?"Is the wiring differant for A/t ,5 speeds?????
I dont believe it would be but if someone KNOWS please edducate me.
