Rhyso's 205bhp Posh Golf....Gone :(

[JC]

Definitely time to sell it now.....!!!!!!!!!

You will have to put a few more miles on soon mate. 

Meet up when i am south on my fortnightly visits, need some annoying things turning off on the 6. 

You come visit me 

And me...

Tell me dates your still down and free and I will see if i can on my 5 days over new year

Stationary voltage is approx 12v

Sounds like a shagged battery from here.

Sounds like a shagged battery from here.

Along with 99% of cars I have mapped then as they show that or less voltage when reading and writing to the ECU

Equally if it was shagged then it wouldnt it struggle to start on these frosty mornings and yet its fired up first time all this week

Wonder if it's the lift pump?

Is it any worse dependent on how much fuel is in it?

Had a full tank of fuel when it failed to start on Monday

its booked into the garage on Tuesday

[Rhyso]

So  into the garage it went........

And passed all the checks.....battery voltage was good, earth leads are all good, starter motor is operating correctly and not drawing too many amps

Garage test started it approx 30 times and it never failed once

Check fuel lines for bubbles next time it doesn't start.

I'd also whip a fuel line off and make sure the lift pump is operating when it fails.

Could also try a lift pump test in VAG COM if it fails to start to see if running that for a minute will get it going.

[Rhyso]

Has behaved itself for the last two weeks......

So instead the bracket holding my downpipe has decided to snap and leave me with a hole or two 

Hopefully sort it before Christmas......

[Rhyso]

 £20 lighter but the car a whole lot quieter!!

Top marks to Pro Speed in Cardiff 

[Rhyso]

Awaits Mr Hell to pop in and tell me 'I told you so'

Battery died on me this morning. New one for £50 and all seems well.......
