car wont start (1.8t)
« on: 02 June 2010, 17:18 »
Hi all,

As heading states my car wont start! it started about 4 oclock this afternoon, went in to petrol station to fill up and when i came back out and tried to start the car i got nothing! the dash board lights come on and im sure i can hear the fuel pump prime but the car doesnt even attempt to turn over. the car pump starts and runs fine when going if that helps!

Any ideas

cheers

jim  :smiley:

starter motor sounds a possible cause, check the earth on the back to make sure its not snapped off, could be the unit itself, give it a wack with a hammer and block of wood then try starting it...
