marinabrid Posted October 13, 2006 Report Posted October 13, 2006 well after a week of the thing ticking and not firing i remembered how i got the wifes working a few years ago. lump hammer start engine from cold, quickly run round get under and whack end with lump hammer, result was about a cup of unburned fuel ,more smoke than last years bonfire and a few mins later one whistling heater going full bore. try it it may work for you. this may only work on the mk1 which dont seem to shut down after 5 attempts Quote

Ogben Schmutzel Posted October 14, 2006 Report Posted October 14, 2006 .... this may only work on the mk1 which dont seem to shut down after 5 attempts I have say that on my 2002 Alhambra the booster heater started when the glow plug fault was resolved without having to reset anything. Diagnostics (not vag.com) had previously shown that the glow plug was open circuit. Maybe when that open circuit fault was fixed the system reset the fault codes itself and had another five attempts at firing the booster?? Just my interpretation of what happened on mine!!
