Neil VR6 0 Posted September 2, 2008 The buzzing's intermittant and comes from the steering column. It only buzzes after having been cranking the engine for ages and then only sometimes. I went into the local VW specialist and they've suggested ECU relay though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dr_mat 0 Posted September 2, 2008 Sigh, sounds like you are YET another victim of the OBD1-always-reports-crank-sensor-fault scam. Your garage should have been aware that if the engine is NOT TURNING it will always report "no signal" for the crank sensor. An expensive mistake to make.

Neil VR6 0 Posted September 2, 2008 The engine does turn though - it just doesn't start Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neil VR6 0 Posted September 2, 2008 I just ordered an ECU relay from GSF (£7.50 +vat) and picked up a fuel pump relay from my local garage to see if that works. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neil VR6 0 Posted September 2, 2008 Just plugged the new fuel pump relay in and the car cranked into life. I also topped up the battery after some hard cranking this morning. Hurrah! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Neil VR6 0 Posted September 2, 2008 We'll see what happens tomorow morning! Presumably the racoons will have been at work overnight and broken something else. MOT this week too :bonk: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
