Trislander Posted January 21, 2014 Report Posted January 21, 2014 Can anyone help?My 1.9 tdi has been sat on the drive for a few months but back on the road today have started it at least 10 times no issue but now turn ignition and nothing. All usual lights on no warning lights etc. will start with a bump on a slope so is it likely the starter is knackered or this relay 30 I've read up on? Quote
BrianH Posted January 21, 2014 Report Posted January 21, 2014 If your handy with a screwdriver and soldering iron you should be able to pull the relay out and resolder it (the joints go bad over time). I'd have thought you'd your answer in around an hour that way. Usually the door led behaves differently if its a relay 30 issue. Either way the relay is far cheaper to change first if you don't want to try resoldering it. Quote
Trislander Posted January 21, 2014 Author Report Posted January 21, 2014 Will get my mechanic to look at it in the morning fingers crossed he will sort it with minimal cost Quote
Trislander Posted January 21, 2014 Author Report Posted January 21, 2014 If it's a relay fault would I be able to bump start it? I can do this hence why I believe it's a hard starter motor fault but I'm not a mechanic Quote
Trislander Posted January 21, 2014 Author Report Posted January 21, 2014 My fault was sorted this morning and for once it was a fault that didn't me any money :-)It was the connection to the starter that had come off phewwwwwwe!!! Quote
