Title: cut out and rapid sparking at key position 2!!weird!
Post by: VWBUSWERKS.COM on 17 November 2011, 19:02

Hi all,new member here so please be gentle.

I've got a weird problem with my mk3 avantgarde 2.0 and it's annoying the crap outta me!The car was driving fine when one day last week it decided not to start.When i turn the key to position 2 (all lights on dash) it sparks like mad,but in key position 3(to crank the engine) it cranks but doesn't spark!!!wtf!!

Now i love the rat very much even tho its a bit scruffy and my 13yr old son wants to completely rat it.But if i kick it again i'm gonna break my toe!!

Has anyone got any ideas or had the same fault? cheers guys
