Coprolalia Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Mentioned in my Scirocco thread I'm starting to trust it. Driving to work this morning, the alternator light starts flashing intermittently. Bloody thing. Bet it's the bastard rebuilt 45w piece-of-shit alternator again. It does not want to be fixed. Typical VAG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you take an ht lead off and check. Put your finger in the end of it and crank it over. If you feel a slight tingle, you know you have spark.

Put your finger in the end of it and crank it over. If you feel a slight tingle, you know you have spark. Changing the spark plugs took over an hour. There is no plug leads only coil packs, held on by torch bolts, hidden by high pressure fuel lines on one side, and all sorts of pipe and cables on the other. I didn't want to risk powering it up with fuel line disconnected. paulplom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first few times I removed them it took over 3 hours.

Wack Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 FFS Steals a Caravan, gets caught, won't say who helped him or where he was going, loads of previous but still gets a suspended sentence, "progress he had previously been making" my arse, more like he's been lucky and not got caught https://www.dailypost.co.uk/news/north-wales-news/police-were-suspicious-saw-14000-18652048?int_source=taboola&int_medium=display&int_campaign=organic Mr Barnes said the defendant had 21 previous convictions for 34 offences, including thefts and fraud. Despite offending regularly in 2018 and 2019, Judge Parry said he bore in mind the effect of the Covid-19 pandemic on prisoners, and whether an immediate sentence needed to be imposed. He said he would give Carey a chance to continue the progress he had recently been making. myglaren 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Pastry Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 9 minutes ago, New POD said: Cheers. Omega owners forum suggests crank sensor, fuel pump relay, or fuel pump most likely causes. FWIW - totally different vehicle but must be a similar system - I sometimes get this with my Kangoo, but it always responds to wiggling the plug on the crank sensor, clearly a bad connection. If the fuel pump is working you should be able to hear it when you turn the ignition on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
