I just took my car to my stepdads garage and hooked it up to the computer a fault called 'hall transducer' once cleared it rev fine but comes on again once turned of and started up again. anybody know what hall transducer is.
-
its the hall sender on the side of the dizzy....check the wiring too as with age these can crack!
-
amazing! thank you, will be running at maximum speed very soon and not losing to ford puma's
-
i have this problem since i bought new dizzy! is there anything else it could b as im fed up of hittin 5k and havin 2change otherwise it feels lik i have my breaks on.

If it was ok before and happens now...check all the wires that run to the sender! and if they are fine, check the dizzy and the timing (as the dizzy could be 180 degree out? or the belt is out by 1 tooth?)
-
oh i will check that in a min. no its not out a tooth bit will probs make sure 2m but i had it 180 out wen i was playing with it in cheltenham and the only thing it did was fill the engine with fuel and had no spark as was outa time an popped a massive flame lol plus garage re timed the dizzy for me. anychance could it be the rotary arm as the vw is dif to the 1 i got from halfords?
-
It's very unlikely to the rotor arm but check you have the correct one fitted (black cap or brown cap with black cover!!)

never a good look that, losing to a puma not even the racing one
-
Boneybradley, is it possible that it could be the camshaft sensor with regards to 'hall transducter fault' as you said it was the dizzy hall sensor, just after your opinion as im going to have to do something about it very soon!
-
check this thread if you have the actual code...as there are several names used for the same engine sensors http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=35118.0 (http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=35118.0)
-
oh! some many fault codes i wish things were simple
-
if you read them, clear them and then read again..only the current ones will be logged and then it's fairly easy to find the issue!
-
well wen it was in garage they changed hall sender(fuse 30 or something i dunno) and the fuel relay. but it seems lik its a fuel cut out that happening lik if there is a switch lik on turbo cars. but i will see what crank sensor looks lik! any idea of how to find it as there are loads of sensors?? plus a guy i no said it could be a blocked cat.
-
use my location guide...(excuse the engine its cleaner now!!)

the crank sensor is behind the oil filter housing/engine mount as quite a pig to get at!! but check the wires as this seems to be quite common too. The hall sender is fixed to the dizzy, and I gues the swapped the ecu and fuel pump realys??
have a look in the maintenece section here as there is a few guide's on common faults (some really good ones and mine!! :wink:)
-
cheers mate!! wats best way of checking the hall sender bit on dizzy?? plus it wouldnt rub if i had it 180% out would it?thats ok then as doin oil filter and change 2m when i can be assed to get outa bed lol :laugh:whats it best to clean sensor wit? white spirts?
