bungy 2 Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 Drove back this afternoon after going to Santa Pod and near to home my car started to miss. Only 2 streets away from home it cut out and wouldn't start. I got recovered home and a fellow member kindly got me a replacement coil pack as No 6 had melted. Trouble is it will not start. It turns over but will not start. I know the instant answer is vagcom but at the time of writing this I don't have access. Any idea's at all fella's, i'm in my hour of need.

bungy 2 Posted April 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 i can come down with vag-com now if you want Very many thanks to Russ who at short notice came to my home with a new version of VCDS. I can't thank you enough for the effort and what a small world it is. Turns out an old biker buddy from years ago turns up to help out with a VW problem. To say I was shocked and stunned is an understatement. Thanks again buddy.Here are the fault codes which I think mean my ECU is cookedThe engine turns but there is no spark and it does not fire. I can here the fuel pump running at the rear. Can anyone shed any light or point to something I have missed. Link to post Share on other sites

kie_dub 0 Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 ECU mate, mines been broken down for a couple of weeks exactly the same problem, got power to the coilpack but no spark, changed sensors and nothing, put my mates ecu on my car and it started. Reason why i think its deffo ecu is due to the vag com. i tried vagcom, snap on, and another diagnostics tool and all said error and couldnt connect, obviously due to the ecu being knackered Link to post Share on other sites

b road blaster 0 Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 think the ecu is fubberd i could,nt even get into it with the vag-com could read every thing else on the car but just would'nt communicate with the engine ecu it was bloody weird seeing bungy after all these yrs mind you the coil pack wasn;t so much melted as exploded Link to post Share on other sites
J5KE F 0 Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 I saw the state of it when i dropped the spare off! Never seen anything quite like it on a vr, kinda reminded me of a melted pump starter! And smelt all fishy an everything!! Link to post Share on other sites
b road blaster 0 Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 i don't normaly mind "fishy" smells lol lol but no i never seen a coil pack like that one is i still can't see why it has done the ecu tho you would think it would blow a fuse if the power back tracked through the system Link to post Share on other sites
