Title: Hi from Birmingham!!!!!
Post by: killakam78 on 01 December 2010, 08:52

Hi Guys

I am now the proud owner of a 2.0 GTi! I have just got rid of an Audi A4 2.5 v6 for the car of my dreams, to be fair though its turned out to be a nightmare, saw it in a salvage yard on the auto trader as a running car! Got it back home and it started missing then it conked out all together! I have had some valuable advice from you guys already and as i said before, i am as good with cars as i am with speaking chinese so im sure you will get to know me very quickly!  :laugh:

yeah have tested it with the electrical doofer and it lights up so from the plug so i assume there is no power running through it,

i got all dash lights but no spark it clicked a few times and then nothing.......

cheers mate,

i checked it with the tester directly into what i believe is the ignition feed and i got lights on the tester, so my old man was saying that the must not be power getting to the starter, when all this happened the car clicked a few times and i just had dash lights so i reckon it will be that :smiley:
