heyzy 0 Posted January 18, 2008 My 95 VR6 has developed a very annoying fault. It starts everytime first time when i first run it but when i stop and try and start it again it sometimes wont start,Turns over but nothing happens. I can eventually get it to start and i know when it will just by turning the ignition on. When it wont start the fuel pump continuously runs but when it will start i can hear it run for a few seconds then it stops like its reached pressure then it starts. Its also cut out on me a couple of times in the last few weeks with the same fault. Has anyone got any ideas. Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M15 VW 0 Posted January 18, 2008 I just had this on mine. It was the solenoid on the starter motor. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dr_mat 0 Posted January 18, 2008 Could be the crank sensor .. sounds a little like the right symptoms.. hard to say though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rob_G60 0 Posted January 19, 2008 mate of mine had the same problem turned out to be the crank sensor Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
heyzy 0 Posted January 19, 2008 Cheers is it a big job changing the crank sensor. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dr_mat 0 Posted January 19, 2008 Not a big job changing the sensor, but it's very expensive, so you don't wanna be changing it unless you're sure it'll fix the problem. Take the car to a decent auto electrician and they should be able to diagnose the sensor is faulty with an oscilloscope. Essentially they tend to lose resolution when they get warm *anyway* and as the magnet in it loses strength this loss of resolution becomes more pronounced until you get where you are now: hiccups while driving then ultimately the engine will stall and will refuse to restart until the block cools down a little. If this is too much hassle then start with the other things suggested above: ECU relay and ignition switch. The crank sensor is ~£140 so it may be worth ruling out the cheap stuff first.
