BlueVR6 0 Posted May 31, 2005 Hi Having starting problems with my VR6, I got the fuel pump changed a about a month ago which seemed to do the trick for a couple of weeks now its back to the same, were the engine has to turn over for a good 20 seconds before it starts. :mad: After leaving it for a bit decided to put it into the garage were they put it onto the diagnostic computer and they said it was the RPM Sensor. Has anyone else heard of this sensor, what does it do and is it likely to be this giving problems starting? :roll: Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dr_mat 0 Posted May 31, 2005 Search for "engine speed sensor" .. it's not clear cut. Basically a non-starting VR6 will ALWAYS show this error code, regardless of whether the sensor is in fact faulty or not. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RW1 0 Posted May 31, 2005 Like Dr_matt says, fault code 00513 (engine speed sensor) is not suppressed on OBD1 VW's ie. all Corrados. Garage may have seen this and determined it's the sensor. They don't fail like this usually and I'd expect to see the engine cut out intermitently at speed as well before total failure. This may seem a bit odd but see if you can swap out the ECU Relay marked "109" part no. 357 906 381A if it is has a grey coloured cover, they tend to be unreliable due to poor quality control. Later ones have a black plastic body and are OK. It's located on the main relay/fuse panel. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlueVR6 0 Posted June 1, 2005 Thanks for the replies. Is relay 109 fitted in the fuse/relay box under the bonnet or under the dash? Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted June 1, 2005 Just above the fusebox - check where it's made... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
