Hello Everyone,
Thought i'd quickly introduce myself then ask for some advice!!
I had a a Mk 1 golf GTi 1.8 cab. about 3 years ago then turned to a mazda for a couple of years, now i am back with a golf it's a 2.0 (8v) GTi (1997).
Now the bit of advice i'm hoping to get is this....
I brought a cat 1. alarm (Sigma S30), i've had the alarm for about a month and it's been fine until this morning....
I left my house drove up the road (1/5 mile) then realised i'd forgotten something so turned back!!! when i arrived home i turned the car off but didn't arm the alarm. I came out in about 2 minutes, put the key in the ignition, put the ignition on, and pushed the button on the key fob to de-activate the immobiliser. the car would tick over but it seemed there wasn't any fuel getting in.
So i called the company who fitted the alarm and they told me how to by-pass the fuel immobilisation, i did this but it had no effect. i then took a spark plug out and plugged it back in and touched the end on the chassis while my girlfriend turned it over and there was no spark................
Now the company who fitted the alarm said they would come out but if the cars fault is nothing to do with the alarm i would be charged a shed load.
What i'm asking is has any one had a similar fault or know what is the best thing to do??
Cheers for reading, i know it was long but i do like to tell a story
