please help!! 1.8t was dead is now ALIVE!!!
« on: 03 July 2013, 10:37 »
Hi all
I'm puzzled and so is the mechanic. The car will not start, starter motor has been changed and so has the ignition switch. Turn the key and all the right noises are happening but turn it to start and nothing at all. Battery is fine fuel pump seem fine all the fuses are fine we have no idea why this f**k*r is not working. Please please help

You checked the immobiliser is not malfunctioning?
