BurntOut

Guys thanx for all your comments, but I am now at my wits end, its a nightmare here in NI to get people who know wot they are doing lol. Looks like I am just gonna throw onto fleabay as a non runner, hopefully a project for someone who has plenty of time to throw at the car. Really gutted my dream car has turned into my worst nightmare :( . Hopefully 1 day I will have saved anuf for another one, :shrug: which i will defo be buying from this forum

Hi matt apparently he has checked this switch i mentioned this to him after a few searches on here, but he says the current one is fine :scratch:

UPDATE: Ok the car has been with a electrical company for 3 months now, clifford alarm fully removed from the car, 1st we replaced the coilpack, still no joy and recently I got another ECU for the car & it has been fitted now too, but still gettin same results car will turn over but NO SPARK, is there anything else I can try cause I am swiftly loosing faith in my vr6 :sad: Also the guy at the electrics place is telling me my diagnostics connection under the gator when you trace the wires the plug isnt connected in to anything???? This hardly sounds correct??? Anyone??? Also the guy was saying its as if the ecu is not picking up the engine churning over so if their is no pick up then nothing will happen?? THANK YOU in advance

Yea noticed those chap just wondering if there are many more about doin insurance for the C.

Hi Reggit, gonna try and get my hands on an ECU relay from the stealers & try it, I got a clifford guy out to the alarm to disconnect it as i thought it might be stopping it starting but it is still installed in the car, as i wanted it working again when i eventually get the car sorted, he said when he disconnects it, its now as if the car has no alarm at all. Gonna get a relay 1st to see if i have any luck.

Just got my renewal in today and its actually dearer than last year ?????? Anyone elese had this seems strange, I am with Aon (West Midlands) Who are ya'll with????

As requested by mods upped here to original thread: I know i have been on about this before but as some new info has came to light i thought a should go over it again, and as i am gonna try to narrow the problem down myself as no-one seems to want to work on the car here in N Ireland here goes. Ok engine rebuilt though during this the clifford alarm went off and rather than use the keyfob to turn it off the bloke just pulled off the battery terminals, now since the rebuild i have no fuel goin to the engine (the pump clicks as normal when ignition turned on) and no spark either, all lights etc work ok and car turns over but just wont start at all. I since have managed to get the car onto VAG.com which brought up my abs faults i knew about, but when we tried to get into the Engine Managment System Vag.com came back with cannot find Engine Management System. Now having read different bits on the forum am i right in saying it could be my ECU Relay (fuse) ??? How does this affect me if its the immobilser, cause I would assume that the alarm has done its bit thinkin someone was stealing the car and prob immobilsed it, though since the rebuild i got the alarm disconnected. Any thoughts folks?? Thanks for your replies would love to get it on the road again, been offoad for a year now

Actually got the car onto Vag.com today, as my ABS light was on i got the abs faults 3 of them 2front wheel 1rear wheel, however the programme couldt not pick up my engine management system, its as if the car didnt have one, just said cannot find, could after all this my ECU be fooked?????????????

Anyone In N Ireland??? with the Vag.com?

Now parked on my driveway, eventually got towed back here lol expensive paper weight LOL, dont think i will do anythin now til after crimbo. :(

Northern Ireland M8 (hence why i am having a nightmare gettin anythin done LOL) Thanx though

You where right m8 it was bollocks got a new sensor and fitted it and same result, (so prob hav a perfect 2nd hand sensor now), Think its time for the bullet biting visit to the VW stealership, my head is done in goin here & there and still no luck.

Well the new sensor was absolutely NO USE, still gettin the same results, so prob have a perfectly good 2nd hand sensor now to, I think it might be time to actually bite the bullet and wheel her up into a VW stealership for diagnostic & repair, seems goin from bloke to bloke the cash mounts up anyway. Beginning to think it might act be the immobilser or ecu, cos when the bloke started my engine work the alarm went abit nuts, maybe it thought someone was stealing the car so done its job and immobilsed it or whatever it does, AAAAArrrrrrrrrgggghhhh head is done in LOL (try & keep ya all posted)

Have been quoted £70 +vat from VW dealer - he said it was held on by a M6 bolt ??? is that the same 13mm one you've mentioned m8ty, hopefully it is, I have to part ordered should be here tomo (apparently), fingers crossed this will sort me, and i can actually get the car back on the road, oh and get my forums stickers on her LOL :lol: (will keep ya posted)

My vr6 wont fire and have been toly my crankshaft sensor is faulty (not getting any reading from the sensor on meter), now i phoned my local VW dealer today and asked is they cud get me one or have one in stock, the bloke has just advised me they dont have anything on their system called a crankshaft sensor????? He said the only thing they had which it might be is an Engine Speed Impulse Sensor?? does anyone know if this is the in laymans terms the crankshaft sensor. Even told him the engine wasnt firing and asked if this sensor wud cure that and i still am in shock that someone in a VW Dealership no-one could tell me yes or no. :(

OK actually had someone out today looking at the car, he came up with the following, No fuel is due to a faulty fusebox all relays etc r working ok, he said he can bypass the faulty section and get it fueling ok, No spark is due to a faulty crankshaft sensor, he put the meter on the sensor and got no feedback at all. Does this sound reasonable??? (hopefully getting close to gettin sorted)

Will get him to try & report back. I know m8 hav another bloke comin out to look on Friday, fingers crossed[/quote:3uzvzz4v] Well surprise surprise, the bloke didnt show, tryin to get things done in NI is a nightmare, so got fed up and opened the phone book, booked another company for this Friday afternoon hopefully they will come this time, their advert says 'we diagnose, we repair', well ya all know i will be keeping my fingers crossed lol, let yaz know how it goes!!

Will get him to try & report back. I know m8 hav another bloke comin out to look on Friday, fingers crossed

OK further update, having a real mare with this, car been with this guy now since middle July and its still not runnin :( . Ok It wasnt the clifford alarm, got a specialist down who bypassed the alarm and still get the same result, turn on ignition, dash lights up ok, when try to start the car just a ticking sound, also when the key is initialy turned you dont here the fuel pump kicking in, I think this happens when you turn the ignition its fist notch you here a noise, well any way had the fuel pump out of car and checked it is fine. The Car is getting NO fuel and NO Spark, even had it to an autosparks and allegedly they couldnt pinpoint the fault, now someone my mechanic m8 knows is saying maybe a faulty wiring or immobiliser prob :( :( :( Anyone any ideas?? or is there anyone on here from Northern Ireland who specialises in the vr6, i am at my wits end, last time my ass was in the car was start of march and its been off the road since :( :( :( :( :( I even have my forum stickers & all, cant even bring myself to fit them yet :( LOL

My Vr6 has been gettin an engine rebuild due to a broken piston, so new pistons etc etc etc, all fitted now, It has been built back up now and i got a call the other night from the mechanic tellin me to go see him as he couldnt get the car to start, and to show him how to use the Clifford Alarm, in case it was not allowing the car to start. I was wondering if the clifford alarm would be stopping the car from starting?? Some observations i did notice was that the remote fob would now not lock the car, but once the fob was pressed and the key inserted into the ignition my dash lights would come on as normal but when i turned to start the car all we get is a ticking noise, (not the battery it was on a charger), I even think the guy workin at it said that he wasnt gettin a spark??? He said he would get back at it to see if any sensors where'nt connected properly, would be good to get a heads up if it might be some other problem Anyone think that maybe the clifford Alarm if stopping the car from functioning due engine re-build. Any ideas greatly appreciated, would luv to get my car back on the road again.. Thanx Folks !! (sorry but i havent a clue when it comes to cars inners LOL)

m8 my receipt say the following: H.Set VW = 80.00 + vat Piston = 75.00 + vat Rings VW = 75.00 + vat from http://www.ballymenaenginespares.co.uk (not advertisin jus incase u wud be stuck highly unlikely though more part prob available on UK Mainland than here in N. Ireland LOL) Dunno if H Set is the oil seals or gaskets etc, but rings where £15 each+ vat, Jus splashed out £350 on parts alone so far, will keep ya all up to date on final cost LOL

Just an update actually got round to leavin the vr6 in for the work and was called down to the mechanic who shows me a small chunk out of piston no 6, so a new piston required as well as new rings etc etc etc, LOVELY i have faith the outlay will be worth it though LOL

No car not lowered at all am jus gonna put 17's on and not lower it Just found out the rims are 17" 5x100 & et 45 take it these will be ok ??? Do i need spacers etc if so what ones do i need ooooo they r RS6 rims with tyres for £325 not bad me thinks :lol: Thanx for the advice chaps anyone???????

Thanx for your comments guys: Found out it is also oiling up plug 6 and knocking it off a cylinder to so looks like new rings required, also found out my oil leak looks like its the crankshaft seal the joys of rado ownership LOL
