I am at the end of my tether now , finished work today and the car wouldn't start again, i getting FOOKED off with it now don't know if or when it wont start.

Any ideas ? really need some

got the guy from my garage coming to my work tomorrow to get it on the scanner to see if anything comes up, probably start 1st time like last time . .. .

Fuel pump relay  :undecided:


How to fix it ? replace it.?.

and is it in the relay box under the wiper ?

Yes replace it : http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=87372.0

Get it scanned for codes first though  :wink:

Next Question how much are relays from the deals or is there a cheaper place you can get them from.

Its only a stab in the dark - Get it scanned and checked out first.

If there are no codes etc has to worth a punt for a tenner  :smiley:
