wez_van_man Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Hey i've started a TDI conversion on my van. My question is what PATS parts do need to swap over? theres the transceiver thats around the barrel and keychip but do i need to change the module behind the dash? my guess is i will have to its just i dont recall any TDI conversion thread mentioning taking the dash out thanks in advance wez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white_van_man Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Hi, you don't need the transceiver ring but you can replace it if you wish, what you definately need is... key(s) pats ecu, engine ecu and engine/dash wiring being a complete pain to get at the pats box you can leave your existing one there and cable tie your replacement up behind dash with the new wiring. i can supply more details if needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

white_van_man Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 ok well u just need the part of the pats loom that tags off your engine loom where it comes through the bulkhead, it will then run up through the dash to a connector under the steering column Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fox3 Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 WVM, What needs to be done to get the engine ECU to work properly, with no pats? I'm having starting problems due to the lack of fuel heater and cold start advance... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marty1979 Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 (edited) The fuel heater shouldn't make a difference to starting in this weather, neither should the cold start advance (waxstat). I removed my fuel heater months ago, and even in the freezing cold mornings I had no trouble with starting my car on the first turn of the key. I would look towards a fuel problem i.e. lack of fuel due to air in the lines, or worse case scenario, engine compression.
