bigpants baby 0 Posted August 31, 2007 Right ive been & bought a cheap storm with starting/running problems,the prob being its turning over ok,no spark or fuel pump buzzing,the fuel pump relay,ecu relay have been changed,ive swapped the ecu,transponder box & engine spped sensor etc still nothing,when im near the engine bay & turning on the ign to acc there is only the noise from the aux water pump,nothing else. On plugging the car to vag com its coming up with controller not found (for engine ecu) but its finding the abs controller fine. According to the previous owner he took the car out for a spin,stopped & couldnt restart it? Any ideas pls Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bigpants baby 0 Posted September 1, 2007 anyone know which relay (number/position) this relief relay is? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crasher 3 Posted September 1, 2007 The X current relief relay is at position 4 and has the number 18 printed on top but has no effect on engine running, it is for lights, wipers, heater blower etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted September 2, 2007 Someone else had a similar problem with VAGCOM on a VR and found the ECU was for a 2.8 engined golf... worth checking! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crasher 3 Posted September 2, 2007 ,ive swapped the ecu,transponder box When you swapped the transponder box, did you change the chip in the key and recode the engine ECU to the new transponder box or use the matching ECU? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
