Nice would be more than happy with that!

[jonrandom]

Well after yesterday failing with the oil pressure/temp sensors, tried again today had to take the front end off again



 

Anyway got it all fitted in the bay and back together



Dash all back in




Gauges in and afr calibrated




Then fitted all the rest of the leather seats





As you can tell its very dusty in the workshop and its gets everywhere and over everything so first thing will be a good old clean once shes out.

Well the car is pretty much finished now but it just wont start.

Tried what you said Golfyste and it didnt work.

Pretty sure its just the immobiliser as I need to sort out a new key. There is no immobiliser light on the dash  but it doesn't even attempt to fire up.

Hopefully will get a new key and vagcom at the wkend and will be sorted. Will do a few hundred miles to make sure its all working as it should then will make the trip to Rtech

If it's not attemting to fire up, I don't think it's an immobiliser issue then. As far as I know, if a car starts, then cuts out 1 sec later, that's an immobiliser issue.

[jonrandom]

Yeah I did wonder about that as my old car did that, was just hoping it would be that easy.

The only other thing I can think of then is that the fuel not getting through properly but I started undoing the clip on the fuel rail and it start to leak fuel. I did change the fuel filter as well can you get problems with air getting trapped in the lines?

[golfyste]

Yeah if it doesn't attempt I would say its not the IMMO as stated the IMMO let's it starts for a second then cuts out

Is the fuel pump priming when you switch the ignition on?
Fuses ok? Relays maybe?

[jonrandom]

I thing the fuses, relays etc are ok will have to check it again and make sure the fuel pump is priming, again I'm pretty sure it is, as there was no fuel in the rail when I put it on and now when I undid the clip to see if fuel was getting the it did leak out.

[Wazzzer]

mine started straight away when I changed the fuel rail over, it just misfired for a few secs while the pressure built up

[jonrandom]

Well hopefully it is the immobiliser then otherwise i'm stumped as I cant see what else it could be as those are the only 2 areas ive done bits in since it was running before.

[golfyste]

So tarter is turning
And tere is fuel getting there, can you hear it prime when you open the drivers door?
Is there a spark?
