Electrics affect Idle (Fingers crossed its fixed)

[JBOB 0]

Everyone keep your fingers crossed as I think its fixed :D

 

I got the new dizzy today and told the G/F that it was very important that I get it fitted ASAP so I couldn’t go shopping with her :lol: First thing I noticed was that the old one has some very deep scratches and a bloody big dent in the metal casing inside (Bad pics below :oops: )

 

Fitted the new one made sure all the timing was a close as possible (never been very good at timing :oops: ) and fired it up.........started first time and went straight to a VERY steady 1k rpm :D :D :D got the timing sorted with the strobe and once warm did the valver set up procedure I found on the net.

 

The car now not only idles perfectly but sounds and drives much better 8) Im not sure if the electrics were affected by the dents in the dizzy but everything seems fine now.

 

Big thanks to Steve for helping me out so much and next time your back in Leeds Ill buy you a drink or two :D

Looks like the hall sender casing that's dented. Possibly somebody's levered an old rotor arm off with a screwdriver & bent that casing in the process.

 

Glad you got it sorted J . :wink:

That’s what I thought Steve but the only people to change the rotor arm is my brother who’s an Audi mechanic and also has a 16v Corrado so he knows what he’s doing and a garage in Bradford that did a service for me :roll: The only reason the garage had it was because my bro was in New Zealand for 6 months (lucky git :lol: ) I cant really remember how long ive had this [problem but I dont remember asking the garage to check it out for me so must have been when they had it :x

 

I cant find a good garage in West Yorks and driving 200miles to Amersham Audi to have my bro work on it is getting a bit silly :(

There are no reputable VW specialists in West Yorkshire - beleive me, I looked very hard to find one. Closest decent specialist to you is Dubsport on the edge of Manchester. Failing that - my mate Mick is now the Aftersales Manager at JCT600 in Wakefield - just tell him you know me & he'll look after your car.

 

I still stick with my above suspicion - rotor has definitely been levered off at some point in the past. I suspect not very long ago - possibly at the garage in Bradford.

Bobby, Is Smashing VW that Garage on Water Lane ? - if so, i wouldn't trust them to fix my wheelbarrow (unless their staff have changed during the last couple of years).

 

IMO - J needs a qualified autoelectrician rather than a VW specialist.

Not sure if that's Smashing VW or another VW "specialist". If that garage isn't Smashing VW, then they're only a couple of streets away.

 

2 of their mechanics looked at my car & I was quoted 3 hours labour for a cam belt change on my G60 :lol: I changed it in just under 2 hours on my driveway :shock:

Even after looking at the car, they still maintained that the supercharger needed removing to do the job - which is complete rubbish.
