I have a VW Golf (AJM engine) with 287,000 km on the clock, and it's difficult to start when it's warm. I've tried all the usual things, but nothing helps!

The starting amount is 16.5 mg, and the corresponding value is 32768!

My question is: How much can I increase the initial amount?

Hi,

Depending on the software, you may be able to adjust certain settings, but the initial amount remains the same... at least that's how it seems to be with my Polo.

Just try it out, and after each change you make to the organ settings, briefly check the MWB 5 log; you should see the results there.

I've now increased the amount to 17 mg through trial and error (value > 32786)!

The engine control unit (ECU) was installed without any problems, and the car now starts perfectly even when it's warm!

My question would have simply been, how far can I go up, if it wouldn't have achieved anything icon_question.gif.

For many setpoint controllers (STGs) or channels, the minimum/maximum value is used when a value exceeds or falls below it.
Enter 40000 and see what happens.

Best regards,
Rudi

@ Rainer

Okay, so if it hadn't worked at 30mg, would I have been able to increase the dose to 40mg? <= That was the question!

That is, of course, an exaggeration icon_wink.gif.
