Baz2004 0 Posted July 20, 2006 How does this switch work in 16Vs? I recently replaced it when it broke off, and I’m thinking it may not be the right replacement as the car cuts out now at low revs. When the switch broke the car revved over 3000RPM when idle and this is no longer happening however when in traffic in 3rd and put the clutch in revs drop way under 1000 and the battery light flashes on – sometimes it cuts out sometimes I catch it with 1st gear. I’ve already switched the ISV and it hasn’t improved this issue, is this simply a case of my timing being out? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crasher 3 Posted July 21, 2006 Is it a 1.8 and did you fit a new genuine switch? I fitted one a few months ago and it had been assembled incorrectly by the manufacturer and the wiring outputs were reversed. A replacement switch also came incorrectly made so to get the job done I had to move the wires in the car plug as the ones in the switch cannot be moved.

Baz2004 0 Posted July 21, 2006 I got the switch in GSF! makes me all the more suspicious. As I said it did stop the 3000rpm idle speed but the cutting out is like the signal is being delayed or something. I might try and throw an original switch off a 1.8 16V a friend of mine is breaking see if that helps. If not its prob down the timing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
