ermm so what have i blown up? :(

[Overseer]

plugs are ok, havent compression tested though.

theres no spark, and no fuel is getting through.

[Overseer]

seems 'lectrical now..

a relay, or immob/alarm or something..

whatcha think mr 6?  (thx for help btw )


whichever way i can do what i want with work tomorrow..

so am gonna call the break down people first thing and get the car over to carshop, they have a fault code reader n stuff there, plus i know they have free time tomorrow coz i told em i might randomly turn up, i'mma give em a call first thing too though.

feeling happier now

No spark or fuel, and some burnt smells...

I'd check the wire harnesses, first around where you saw it first time then just around.  No power to coil or fuel pump, check the harness that leads to or from the CPU.

At first description though, sounded like the timing belt stripped a few teeth and burned up the belt, I'd check that next..

There aren't too many things that would affect both..

[Overseer]

well cambelt was only done in oct, at the dealership so i hope that'd be ok.

so i guess something got frazzed. (never can be too sure tho )

i'm takin it in tomorrow anyways, so they'll see.

will holla back with the verdict

Timing belt won't affect the fuelling, it will probably affect the spark as the cam sender will not operate.
Is the alarm/immobiliser working properly?
vw immobilisers usually cut fuel and ignition.

^ good @ timing belt comment, was hoping thats not an issue in all of this


it has a toad ai600 alarm... it arms and disarms ok, but wouldnt put it past it at all...

i normally use these guys i'm taking it to for alarm/stereo and electrical stuff, as do most of the people i work with

[golfvr6]

The only other thing i can think of is a problem with the ecu, or maybe ecu relay.

[Overseer]

but its not blown up  

and if its just one of those damn relays people keep posting about i'm gonna carry a spare one  

[golfvr6]

Did you check for a spark from the coil as well as from the ht leads?

[Overseer]

not sure what my a-s-s-i-stant (dad) did

(lol @ board tripping over 'a-s-s' )

(my dinner was ready before his, lol)

goin bed now, will post back how i got on tomorrow

thx for all pointers, advice n stuff..
