Not starting
« on: 31 March 2014, 20:59 »
Hi
New to this forum, but hope somebody could point me in the right direction please.
I have a 1.6 TDI 2012 model,  with only 16000 miles, when I went to start it this morning, all the lights come on ok, pushed down the clutch pedal and no start. The lights stay on, The battery is good.
I understand there could be a switch in the clutch pedal that should join the connection with the starter motor.
Does anybody have a wiring diagram and the fuse and relay position as there is nothing in the ops book!
Is this switch a known problem area, has anybody had this before perhaps,  is it easy to change, unfortunately its now out of warranty.......
John
