muttley 0 Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 some strange stuff going on with the vento i think its got PMT or something, today i was driving about as normal and i noticed that on excelleration i could here a wirring noise coming from the engine bay, stopped car and got bonnet open reved up the car and couldnt here it at all :SGot home and switched off engine went to lock the doors and nothin happened it just locked the one door that i was stood at. gave it a few more goes and nothin not even the usual locking noise.Had to go out again this evening and the central locking still isnt working the wirring noise is still there but only on excelleration and to add to it the clock keeps resetting itself every time i start the car.opened the boot to put something in and its full of water.Surely this isnt what normal Vento VR6 ownership is meant to be like lol Link to post Share on other sites
Lukey. 381 Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 is your battery keeping charge? clock resetting itself and the motor not running for the CL Link to post Share on other sites
Rikki 2 Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 Well the cl pump is in the boot on a golf i would imagine same on a vent-ho! if its wet might be why mate Link to post Share on other sites
Rustyman 0 Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 Dry out the dampness first ... It might be a split vacum pump pipe or dodgy joint... if it's split then the pump keeps whirring away for ages & ages... if unchecked it can drain battery eventually and is bloody annoying... Hopefully it's only in the boot area ? if not it coyld mean taking door cards off etc to hunt the split pipe through all four doors ! Link to post Share on other sites
Lukey. 381 Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 would leaky seals make it run constantly? i had a leaky boot cylinder but the pump only ran for about 30 secs before stopping Link to post Share on other sites
