  1. She died...........

    in Engine Maintenance and Problems

    Posted

    Jus tried a battery that was bought recently and still nothin its almost as if my immobiliser has suddenly kicked in.....Me an a couple of m8's tried bump startin it but there was nothing it started for like 2 secs an sounded extremely rough then died. There must be a problem with the ignition as its not doin anythin got a multimeter on the case but the battery is holdin steady at same reading even when u turn key to start her !!

    Ok so the car is drivin me mad now I ordered new coil pack an put it on yesterday evenin tried to start it, Sounded promising but then battery went flat so put it on charge this morning an tried again after a couple of hours but when i turned the key nothing happnd and i mean nothing. The dash lights stayed on which makes me think its not the battery. Ive tried tappin the starter while tryin to start and had no response its not clicking or doing anything !! Any of u got any ideas as im stumped...........

    Jus a quicky, I was driving the other day when the car lost all power an gradually ground to a halt. When i stopped it was idlin extremely low an almost as if it was only 2/3 cylinders......My 1st thought was that is was the coilpack as that had been suggested by a few of u before so i ordered a new 1 the other day an plugged my ignition module into the back of it but it would not start !! It sounds like it wants to but jus dont have enough power !! I have come to the decision that the coil pack i bought was wrong but the real question is " would it be just the coil pack that made it do this in the first place ??"........................

    Ps. its a dizzy cap coil........

    The maf was taken off and cleaned with electrical contact cleaner and all was fine like i said so it could be faulty if its started doin it again.....All the leads,plugs etc will be getting pulled out 2day so i can have a look at them. Hopefully my vagcom cable will be here today so i can hook it up and see if theres anything sinister goin on

    Ok so the car started running worse than before it wouldnt idle and juddered while driving whilst kickin out black smoke. Took the idle control valve off and cleaned everything i could see including all the pipes and the car was fine it idled an ran perfectly with no smoke but now a day later its started with the juddering/smoke and not idling again. I have no idea wat the problem could be as i thought i had sorted it with the ICV. Anyone have any ideas ???

    Hi all, Ive noticed that in a few of the members rides pics some of u have braided fuel lines next to the inlet manifold. Ive been looking for these for a while now and im not havin any luck finding them so i just wanted to ask whether they are a kit or u have to buy the hoses seperatley and make the hoses ur self. Any help would be ideal cheers

    Ok bit of a weird problem an i cant think wats wrong so i will see if any of u can help. If i start the vr when she is parked facing down a hill it idles quite lumpy and when i throttle it sounds like its missing !! But if i start the car on level ground or facing up a hill there is no problem. I dont know wat could be the cause of this problem and wasnt sure if any1 had ever encounterd a similar problem !! Thought i would ask on here for advice b4 i send it to the garage and get raped for summit it might not need..........Any ideas/info would be appreciated.

    Cheers
