mk3 problems
« on: 20 August 2006, 07:39 »
Ok,

First off nice forum  :smiley:,

I have got a mk3 2.0 8v 1996 p plate,

Has just incurred a fault, Symptoms: cutting out (revs down to zero) , Only happens when warm, Wont start straight away only when left for a while, Have had my mechanic clean throttle body breather pipe change relay, Hes tried mapping ecu just after stall and it wont let him read ecu, Once left for a while and started reads ecu , No error codes at all, He reckons it might be the crank sensor so he knows someone that has a spare is going to try that tomorrow to see if thats the problem, I have read other posts causing this issue, One in forum does sound similar allthough my oil light doesn't flash, Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions i can try, tia

Try the ecu control relay, it's only a few quid....

Thanks for reply,

My mechanic has replaced the ecu relay and still no joy, Ive read about sender hall relay could this possibly need replacing ?, If so how much am i looking at for a replacement ?, tia
