Hello guys. After a couple of years.
What I'm about to present is a problem that I faced long time ago. Then, I moved to another city, left the car to my mother. Now I'm back and I'd like to fix it once and for all.
I'LL INCLUDE A SUMMARY at the bottom, just in case
1st) I don't have logs. I did them some time ago but they're in a dead HDD. I perfectly remember those logs though. However, If you consider you need them in order to diagnose what's happening, tell me what variants to log and I'll get me7logger working on my car (quite tedious).
2nd) My car is a MK4 Golf from the end of 2001. AUM, me7.5 wideband 06A906032HJ
3rd) It all worked like charm. I learnt how to modify its flash myself, did some iterations... Good. One day MAP sensor (2.5bar) says goodbye. Took it to the shop and they wrongly installed a 3bar one...
4rd) Later I tried to fix it, that shop wasn't an option anymore, so I decided to do it my way, linearization. I corrected DSLGRAD and DSLOFS following FR/S4Wiki.
5th) Pressure readings now make sense... More or less. But Lamdas don't. Tried adjusting DSL a bit more, nothing.
6th) While iddilng, requested lambda is 1 and actual 0.75 (Both VCDS and me7logger, LAMSONI 0.75, everyother lambda, leaner). Under load it works OK. But the deviation at idle is so huge that adaptations go out of range each couple of months.
7th) I tried to back-trace through the entire FR both Lambda and DSLXXX and I saw absolutely nothing relating both.
8th) Before you ask: I tried 2 stock files. One with stock DSL. Lambdas worked ok, even with incoherent pressure readings. Another stock but with corrected DSL, Actual lambda goes stupid rich at iddle. So is that fu*@*@ mod for sure what's messing me up.
9th) I can only see 2 scenarios: A) I'm just blind and there's relation between those variables in FR that I didn't see. B) There isn't but me7sum goes crazy with that particular mod and changes a value in some random cell that causes my problem.
10th) For sure it's easier to buy the right MAP. I just don't want to, this has become a personal goal.
SUMMARY:
- Wrong MAP sensor installed, 3bar instead of 2.5
- I try to fix readings by DSLGRAD and DSLOFS
- It gets better regarding pressure readings but goes crazy with lambda
- I lost my logs but I remember them. At iddle requested is 1 and actual is 0.75, works OK under load. If you still need me to me7log any variable, just tell me
- It's absolutely verified, that particular change in DSL is causing that lambda beheaviour
- I didn't find anything in the entire FR relating both DSLGRAD/OFS and Lambda
Thanks a lot for your time,
Diego
