its been happening for a view weeks now but this morning had to get my mate to help me bump it, it coft and jumped then started on the first attempt, when reving the engine got alot of dark smoke out of the exhaust and was misfiring when i reved it alittle, after aout 5 minutes woz ok.
any ideas as to wot the cause could be ?
any help is is greatfull. Danny
-
what engine code do you have in your Golf mate?
could be a failing coilpack or maybe something else. engine management light come on?
-
no engine management light. AGU
-
stater motor?
ignition amplifier?
-
starter motor seems ok , the only think is that it does sumtimes makes a sort of grinding niose after the engine starts, i am goin to get it re-condisioned. or is it better to buy new?
wots the location of the ignition amplifier.
thanks for ur ideas :smiley:
-
Recon/new not much difference as all the internals should be changed, try and see if you can get an exchange for a recon, it will save you time, or take it off and give it a clean then see how it is as it sounds like it is sticking abit.
-
thanks mate will need to get it done soon.
-
mine did tht it was coilpacks
i left it too long an bam there goes a whole in my piston
-
how wud i go about checking the coilpacks?
-
you would have to probably get them checked out unless you no what ya looking for
your lookin at like £30 a coilpack
-
linz
you blew a hole in your piston, cos of the coil pack?
because i just put my car on vag com found 2 dead coil packs after some investigation. went to get a couple of replacement's but the shop only had one.
Wont beable to get another one till i go work, in the morning. got to do a 8 mile journey. Do you think that it will be alright to drive (check light is flashing)
:cry: :cry: :cry:

yes mate not good fuel leaked down an ignighted which blew a hole in the piston :( very costly
an you do no you cant just replace 2 dont you as if you do its like the other 2 will go so you need 2 replace all 4
-
ouch
ill av to get 3 tommorow then. How long did you leave it think ill make it 8 mile.
Do you know what compression you get at cranking check mine today got 75 80 psi max, i know this is low just want to now what it should really be (thats how i knackerd my coil packs)
-
oo i left it along time mate it sounded like a scooby it sounded tht rough lol if i had known it was coilpacks in the beginning i would of got it sorted much sooner an it wudda saved me a lot of cash an id actually have a car rite now lol
-
will any code reader do or is it only vagcom can find faults with the coilpacks?

This will be fine :

nice 1 rich :smiley:

done a scan with the vag code reader and got 2 codes.
16500 engine coolant temperature circuit - range/performance problem.
00532 transmission control module relay-supply voltage (B+) malfunction low battery or bad ground.
can anyone shed any light on this as i havnt a clue. thanks
i have erased them and will do another scan in a few days time, would any of them 2 be causing the problem ive described on 1st page?
thanks again for your help

16500/P0116/000278 - Engine Coolant Temp. Sensor (G62): Implausible Signal
Possible Symptoms
* Starting the engine when engine is warmish or warm, idle rpm immediately is 1200 - 3000 rpm.
o Diesel: an indication is extreme long time burning time of the glow indication light.
* With all engine temperatures seldom idle rpm will vary between 900 - 1000 rpm.
* With engine warm (90 °C) the engine temperature suddenly drops (70 °C) and slowly comes back to 90 °C.
Possible Causes
* Wiring and/or connections faulty
* Engine Coolant Sensor (G62) faulty
Possible Solutions
* Check wiring and connections
* Replace Engine Coolant Sensor (G62)
00532 - Supply Voltage B+
00532 - Supply Voltage B+: Signal too Low
Possible Causes
* Wiring/Connectors from/to Control Module faulty
* Power Supply (Battery/Generator) faulty
Possible Solutions
* Check/Repair Wiring/Connectors from/to Control Module
* Check Power Supply (Battery/Generator)
Special Notes
* When found in an individual control module, it's most likely a local source (e.g. wiring/connectors).
* When found in multiple control modules at the same time, it's most likely a common source (e.g. ground spot, battery, generator).
* Intermittent codes are often stored during low outside temperature when the battery capacity goes down and may be ignored.
* Common with 16946/P0562/001378 - System Voltage: Too Low stored in other control modules.

how long do you think i sould leave it/drive it for till i do another scan?
went out it it today for 5mins and did a scan when i got back and none of the above codes came up but this one did.
16502/P0118/000280 - Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor (G62): Signal too High
Possible Symptoms
Difficulties with starting a cold engine.
Starting the engine when engine is warmish or warm, idle rpm immediately is 1200 - 3000 rpm.
RPM at idle is irregular.
With all engine temperatures idle rpm will often vary between 900 - 1000 rpm.
With engine warm (90 °C) the engine temperature suddenly drops (70 °C) and slowly comes back to 90 °C.
Bad acceleration during warm-up.
Diesel Engines: Glow plug indicator may be on for a longer than normal time or at ambient temperatures where it shouldn't come on at all.
Possible Causes
The electrical signal coming from G62 is too low
Wiring and/or connections faulty (short circuit?)
Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor (G62) faulty
Possible Solutions
Check wiring and connections
Check / Replace Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor (G62)
Special Notes
In many cars between MY 1995-2002 the G2/G62 had a bad reputation for failing often. The original G2/G62 sensor is black and the improved replacements are green.

do you think its worth getting a new temp sensor?
-
Yes you need a new temp sender - very common fault :
