Tomo 0 Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 My vr has been running well since i had it on the road, about month ago, then after work I come to start it and it doesn't!I took the fuel pipe off and there doesn't seem to be any fuel coming in, the engine fired with a quick spray of easy start, pointing to lack of fuel. The car has done bout 55,000 miles and showed no sign of dieing on me. When the ignition is on these a wherrring sound before starting from the engine bay, presumably a fuel pump? Tried to listen to the rear pump which seems to be silent. I've checked the fuses.I don't have the fob or key for the alarm which is an original item for a '96 vr, and was wondering if it could be this that because of the way that it stopped working when the car was not running? could it of cut something off to do with the fuel or do they just work with the ignition system?If any of you guys and gals can shed some light it'd be much appreciated as the car is still at work!

mightyvr6 0 Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 check the fuel pump relay! No. 109 I think. Link to post Share on other sites

apd 0 Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 167 fuel pump relay,109 voltage stabiliser relay.take the fuel pump infeed out and with the igtn on crank the engine the pump should pump fuel .if not its not getting power[elect/relay]or pump not working.

acf8181 0 Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 the thing whering under the bonnet is the additional water pump, you should be able to hear the fuel pump prime as you turn the ig on, but it can be quite quiet....its under the boot floor.there are ways of bypassing the relays to test them...if i had my bentley with me right now i'd tell you exactly what to do.

Tomo 0 Posted February 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 ok, replaced 109 voltage stabilieser relay and no luck, out off interest what does it do? Next move is to change 167 fuel pump relay, thanks everyone Link to post Share on other sites
Tomo 0 Posted February 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 both relays replaced and nothing would the alarm have anything to do with the fuel system? Link to post Share on other sites
