Title: had enough now
Post by: neil1780 on 12 February 2011, 14:32
Still no spark what am  i missing?

changed crank sensor,coil/ignition module getting power to this, relays, ecu, checked wiring only thing i cant do is vagcom cause no one has one. have tried to plug it in with a reader from a garage but doesnt connect to ecu.

must be somthing simple im getting frustrated now.

thinking about breaking it to get some money back and buy a cheap vr.

If the reader from the garage is not reading the ECU, could it not be the ECU thats the problem.  :wink:
