Is the fuse only associated with the seats?

Youve got a hell of a job on your hands there mate

The ones on the around the door frame or the door itself?

Just been for a spin out to clear the rust off the disks and did a few stops and starts and all is well that new ignition switch has made a difference too

New starter motor on and she fired up first time, it was then i shouted in the voice of Ace Ventura ITS ALIVE ITS ALIVE

Cool ordered 2

Are the pictures on the calender confirmed yet ?

I think if you have the serial code VW should be able to help you out either for a small charge or free

Haha, all fixed for me now

Anyone else having problems getting onto edition 38 im getting "this site is harmful to your computer" everytime. Anyone know whats going on with the site?

Yeah £50 quid surcharge...Dox probably but might as well put a new one on for piece of mind anyway

Well ordered the starter from Euro Car Parts and picked it up this morning went home to compare the two and there were some major differences one big one being that the bolts to attach it to the car wouldnt even fit, it was a bosch part aswell must have been for something else. So that went back to ECP for a refund and i did what i should have done ordered from VW, slightly dearer and have to wait a few more days but at least i know the parts going to fit. Moral of the story dont order from the monkeys at ECP

Starter is off removed fairly easy job really, glad ive got slim line fans otherwise it wouldnt have been so easy. So just a waiting game now till tomorrow morning Is there anything i need to take off the old starter motor and put on the new one?

Was advised not to bump start the car as its a vr6 with chains and apparently you shouldnt dont know why just something ive heard. Anyway just ordered a starter motor and will be here tomorrow, after that im stuck. ---------- Post added at 12:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:53 PM ---------- Quick question can you remove the vr6 starter motor without taking off the front end of the car?

Not the ignition switch just changed for new and its still the same. Narrowed down the electrical pop to the starter motor solenoid on top of the starter give it a beating but still nothing

Good to know its not just me, ive heard that they get noisy when on their way out though

Ive never noticed even when the car worked fine, i have been told im deaf a few times though so stands to reason

When people say can you hear the pump prime what noise am i listening for ? Yeah im more inclined to look at the easier things first relays, fuses, ignition switch. Just so random though drove fine yesterday on the way home no problems

Fuel pump primes as i hear the click when i turn the ignition on. Im off tomorrow so hopefully i can look at stuff these dark nights are a pain

Got a spare ignition switch recently will see tonight...first port of call is fuses n relays then ignition switch.

Cant remember will have a listen later...sounds as though ive not turned the immobiliser off when i go to start it BUT ive turned it off. Also when i go to turn the key to start and i get the electrical pop when i go to start again it wont turn to where you turn to start the engine. I have to take the key out of the ignition to be able to try again

Got in the car this morning went to start the car and well nothing just a electrical pop when i turn the key. Whats my first port of call ? I was thinking ignition switch but havnt had any probs with starting, or starter motor ? Battery has plenty of juice as the vdo gauge shows. So strange any help or pointer much appriciated

Youve never driven on pirelli p600s then have you, compared to other tyres the contis are pretty good in the wet considering they are a summer tyre

Yep as above currently on mine they are pretty good in the wet too
