Poorly VR6 not starting :(


Recommended Posts

Hi guys!

I took my VR6 for a little test drive today and it cut out on me. The engine just died. I tried starting it back up it cracks over like everything is fine but as if it's deprived of petrol but it has enough petrol. I've changed the HT leads, coil pack and battry all before this problem came up. It's just all the suddon happen. Just to mention that car can't drive because it doesn't start. It ticks over and sounds as if it's going to start but just doesn't.

Please someon help!

I am based in Luton. Thank you for all your answers! I have found the problem. I thought it might have been the fuel pump, so before i tested that out. I had a look at the fuse box out of curiosity, in case any fuses have blown. Never guess, the fuse for the fuel pump was blown so i replaced it and hay ho! The car starts! 

But now i have another problem with the manual transmission. The gear goes in to reverse but drives forward  :huh: I have found out that its definitely the gear linkage, only problem is i cant seam to find out where to get hold of the part from? (other than the main dealer, unless it is reasonably priced).

 

Once again thank you, being on the forum as a new member i have found a lot of help! I thought my post might get looked over but i love how the VR community all stick together!  B)
