ahh right okie doke.

well thought i would leave battery off for 30mins try reset the ecu incase with the live feed shorting out it had cuased any problems but made no difference


so im now that i fixed the dizzy im getting spark with and without the hall sensor plugged in



but still not starting hmm

[sleeper16]

i think i might try replacing the hall sender with another out of one of the 8v engines how do i strip the dizzy? i cant seem to get the steel plate off the one that spins round with the cut out for the hall senser to pick up?

[danny_p]

never needed to strip on so not sure tbh normaly nick one off another engine

[rubjonny]

think on the 8v ones you lever the plate up with a screwdriver either side, but this wont work on a 16v one you have to strip the entire dizzy down. theres a roll pin you bash out on the back end of it, then all the gubbins comes out.

ahh right cheers jonny! i tried levering but it just bent the plate (on the 8v)  i can see a pin going through the drive gear on the 8v i bet that needs knocking out, just cant figure a way of getting out.....oxy acetylene i think 

not had much of a look at the 16 one yet but will get it back out n see how it goes.

[danny_p]

Did you find the cause of the problem as I replaced my exhaust manifold last week and have exactly the same issue - fuel and spark but no bang.  Everything look swithin spec on VAG-Com and hence is really confusing.
