Ahh ok... Bugga - I have a spark... but no fuel injection... fast running out of ideas.

Coupon code "Feb48" is not valid. After a crank sensor

Aha! Just curios, do forum members get discount? - sent a quick email to you this morning, sorry to be a nuisence but need to get a few bits ordered :D

Sorry to dig up an old thread, but I was wondering the same thing? annavr6 do you still work at VW Heritage? :)

Hi Dave any chance of a picture? - I think I'm going to be in a similar boat when I eventually get the VR running... its going to need new brakes/suspension etc. - I'd like it to sit very slightly lower as the stock height looks a little odd..

Hi Jim - not tried that yet.... would there be other symptoms of a failed ECU? - Auyone got one they wanna lend out? :D

I'm not sure Dox :( it was the only thing I could think off, the fact that the pots/plugs are dry as well is making me think the injectors aren't firing - I think I might have to admit defeat and get an auto sparky in... can anyone recommend one in the Aylesbury-Bucks / Thame-Oxon area? Unless anyone knows how to force voltage to the injectors?

Well I've soldered up a test bulb and there is indeed no pulse at the injectors...... if this is the correct way to test that is? I'm stuck now..... Anyone got any ideas? I've reseated the ECU connection... seems fine. Would alarms immobilize at the injectors? - would an auto electrician be able to sort this?

You're a legend VEEDUBBED! You need to move back to the UK! :)

Yep I think I'm going to add a can of this to the arsenal as well... I was wondering if it fired if that would spark it into life.

Hiya VEEDUBBED... the car has been stood and not started for 3+ years - its fighting me all the way too :( Ether the injectors have gummed up or the alarm/immobilizer has come back to haunt me... but I'd of thought they would immobilize with the fuel pump... not the injectors? Yep sean182 I recon my job tomorrow is to remove the 12v feed to pot five (if I can get it off) and put a bulb on it to see if its pulsing.... the other thing I was wondering if there was a bleed on the rail?

Well another fruitless day :( - after fixing my Audi I moved back onto the VR, powerwashed all the carpets which now look and feel great! but I still cant get it running, checked every pot for a spark which they have, cleaned all the earths next to the fuse box, checked to see if the fuel pump runs which it does. I was expecting a Golf GTI type pump setup with a lifter pump in the tank and the pressure pump sat next to the fuel filter just under the back seats... but as far as I can see there is only one pump? So I pulled the fuel rail feed pipe off and fired it into a bottle, fuel is definitely getting to the rail, but after removing a few of the plugs I can see that they are dry... its almost like the injectors aren't firing? Anyone got any ideas? I didn't think this type of injector would be affected by corrosion like the old KE-Jet metal injectors... I really dont want to strip the manifold off just yet and would 6 injectors just not work?.... I guess I could rig up a test bulb and check for a pulse?

Classic! LOL!

Any pictures? sounds interesting

Yeah I had that feeling too! - unfortunately I wasn't looking past the shiney wheels and seeing my Corrado sat on the driveway, with a busted gearbox, not actually running yet, and in need of new brakes, susspension and many other missing or broken bits. :( but I guess the wheels would of looked good! LOL!

LOL! once I clear the garage out and get it running mine will indeed become a sunny/weekend car :)

How does this compare with the TT wiper mod?

I'll happily do a deal on the white one and £2k delfinis! :D LOL! Its only a 2 owner car!

Fantastic! thanks delfinis ;) roll on the weekend.

Cheers odub! - do you know what condition the number plate light surround is in? my one litterarly disintigrated in my hand :( - I'll check my ABS unit this afternoon.

Just curious.. why does it need replacing?

Interested in these! just double checking they are genuine BBS wheels? - not being rude of course but BBS has to be the most faked wheel ever! ;) Did Corrado's come with these as a stock fitment ever?

Looks like I'll need one too! :)

Thanks again fellas - I'll get a picture of the handles up, so will Matts LED version will eliminate the fire risk on the switch? - is that purely that the LED draws less current? I'd like to do the head light loom as well, is that a difficult job? I don’t want to go overboard on mods but improvements I'm well up for ;)

Very nice! - I'm in a similar postition... my VR turned up on a trailer ;)
