well it wont be the earth wire as i forked out and bought a new one so looks like the alternator will be going bk to my local vw breakers for a refund/part ex

hi guys as you know i have been havin problems getting my vr6 started but she now runs sweet as anut apart from the battery light is always on and drinks the battery dry is this my alternator dead or a sticky relay as thats the only two things i think it can be as its a brand new battery cheers Ash

a bosch silver

yeh i got a new starter as my old one was getting lazy but it does work 100% as was in a running car

yeh it turned over when i had just replaced the guides and chains without the belt on

and yes the starter does get hot it has smoked abit

i tryed that when it was out of then car and it was fine.. not tryed since its been put back in

how long is a little bit? 3 seconds but it was turning very slow

im pritty sure they are right

hi guys been pon the case all day the earths all seem to be working spot on as i tested with a voltmeter engine did turn for a little bit but i really seems to be struggling the starter is fine as checked it again so i am really really stuck as cant put my finger on why the clocks are resetting when trying to start!? i think im going to tow it up and down the road and bump start it

tryed it mate still no difference i think im going to take out the engine and check the engine loom as i think it may of got damaged putting it back in

ok mate will have another look but have not touched any of that since doing the conversion i cant really describe where my earth cables are so i will get some pics up 2moz

how did he over come this? it did yesterday turn over for about 1 second but had no luck since i would bump start it but if the clocks are resetting then dont want to force it to start
