Sensors?

[admc6]

Well that didnt work.
Its off the the auto electrian on wednesday now to see if he has any ideas

Very weird, give it another scan, maybe that engine speed sensor fault has re-appeared

I will do when i get it home. Will pick it up when the roads are quiter so i dont need to stop.

Do u have any ideas? especially if nothing comes up through vag com

Well the oil light flashing and cutting out is nearly always a speed sensor fault or ECU relay fault so it must be throwing up that fault again. Other engine faults that go unscanned are dead ISV or cream crackered ECU temp sensor but they wouldn't cause your symptoms

I guess i will just have to wait and see. It is definately a puzzle.

I'd had this sort of problem last year just before i went on holiday, which was a crap time to have it.
The only thing that may be a bit dodgy, but to my knowledge and that of my dads - who was an electrician, was i have had to put a different earth to the speed sensor. I have apparently got an earth problem on the ecu, but to be honest i dont entirely trust the mechanic who did this. He couldnt even put the distributar back on properly!!!!

Got it home ok last night, just died when i was sat on the drive reving up to 3krpm and then letting them drop. Only had to do this 4 times.
Put it back onto vag com but still no codes for engine.

Just been out for another look at the car. The only two things i could fine was

1. A damaged middle wire (green and black i think) to the ignition coil.

2. What looks like a worn distributar arm

Think these are my next best option to solving my problem

If they're broken they should be fixed anyway! Whilst your there, vheck all the 3mm id vac hoses for leaks and breaks

Its not broken ll the way through. I will get a picture for you. Its very strnage how it would get damaged.
