2.016v keeps blowing no18 fuse drove home went to go out hour latter no start trying fuel pump relay first guess it is easiest to change first

any other ideas or past experiance from anyone

You need to look at what is blowing the fuse first by looking at whats on that circuit

From the info I have this looks like fuel pump and lambda probe but check your instruction manual as the 16v may be different... (i'm looking at a book for a late VR)

 

Either the fuel pump is struggling maybe because of a blocked filter or there is a short in the lambda wiring, most likely where it plugs in near the rear engine mount.

thans for that the relay made no change

checking lambda tomorrow fingers crossed got a spare so might be in luck

It's still blowing fuses I take it?

 

It's unlikely a relay will fail in such a way that it will blow fuses, usually will just not work or leave something on...

 

Check the lambda plug wiring before changing it

supercharged it was lambda

disconnected it didn,t blow fuse and it started so i,ve changed it and alls well

i guess at least i only paid a tenner for the relay so thanks for your tips

they have a 16v their dis mantaling at the vw audi dismantlers in sandwich kent which was handy for the relay would it be worth putting that up any where

cheers for now keith
