nosniktap Posted February 5, 2007 Report Posted February 5, 2007 I have a 95 gal and took her into the new forest yesterday for a run, was out of the car for about an hour or two, when i came back she wouldnt start engine cutting out after two seconds if started straight away or if not started straight away she wouldnt start at all. I then noticed the flashing led and assumed immobilisier problem most probably the key but i got my brother to drop me out my spare and the service key but both of them didnt work either. I have searched on the forum and i cant conclude if it would be a relay fault or not because it seems if it was a relay fault then she wouldnt start at all. I have also noticed some people talking about a code in the flashing led, any ideas???? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Quote

Neils TDi again Posted February 5, 2007 Report Posted February 5, 2007 (edited) It would appear from your description of the solution that the amplifier in the ignition switch housing has a bad connection in either the loom of the connector immediatley below the ignition switch, its not uncommon to see such failures as this with increased moisture or temperature. It may be that the humidity level in the area where you left the vehicle was the cause or it may have just been a coincidence and the oxidation of the connectors was on the verge of causing hte intermitttent contact anyway. But best its checked out as it could prove very embarrasing if you happen to stall it and then it refuses to start. Edited February 5, 2007 by neil_wiles Quote
