ABF Golf GTi - Cutting out, Not idling?? What is it :(

[Lukeabercynonnoi]

Im clueless then haa

no crank sensor wont always show up on vag-com, if car wont start even if you hold the throttle open then its most likely the crank sensor. abf can start with pretty much any of the sensors unplugged or bust, but crank sensor it needs to run. around £50 from gsf and almost always by now it needs replacing if its the original

She's alive again

Turned out to be damp apparently :S - So dried her up, damp-proofed her and she started again

I did change the timing belt on it too - and before changing it I noticed that it wasn't al-lined up correctly, was a notch or two off.
So when I changed it, started her up. Sounded soooo much better - and there has been a noticeable increase of power to be fair - its amazing what a timing belt being off can do to a car lol.

Cleaned the throttle body tidy, cleaned the distributor cap before damp proofing it. And she's running great. No more cutting out as of yet either. Will be looking to change the spark plugs on it soon also, and may as well put a new ecu temp switch on it - im pretty sure it was the error code from when i previously changed it, but just in case

Only problem now is that my fuel gauge doesn't work no more - typical lol

So thank god it wasn't the crank sensor

Thanks for all your help too

My b4stard fuel guage dont work either.

All about using the Trip Meter and knowing EXACTLY how much fuel you got left to be honest
