_dg Posted March 22, 2005 Report Posted March 22, 2005 Was this other battery charged? Is there any signs of power - is the engine turning or just not starting. What about the curtesy lights etc Are all the leads reconnected to the battery terminals? Quote
apples24 Posted March 22, 2005 Author Report Posted March 22, 2005 turns over fine forgot to say the dash light flash on and off quickly???? is this an alarm immob reset needed or similar? Quote
Ivor_E_Tower Posted March 22, 2005 Report Posted March 22, 2005 Disconnect the new battery, wait 5 minutes, re-connect. Maybe the immobiliser has got out of sync. Quote
apples24 Posted March 23, 2005 Author Report Posted March 23, 2005 got it running removed no 30 relay and replaced then it fired into life, gonna get a new relay today Quote
victor1 Posted March 23, 2005 Report Posted March 23, 2005 Hi - excuse my ignorance :o , what is a number 30 relay, where is it located and how did you pin point the problem to this part :lol: Thanks againVictor Quote
victor1 Posted March 23, 2005 Report Posted March 23, 2005 Just answered my question by doing a 'relay 30' search :rolleyes: , however can some one tell me, does this relay exist in my TDI if so what is it called and are the expected symptons identical to petrol engines? :unsure: many thanksVictor Quote
Fencourt Posted March 24, 2005 Report Posted March 24, 2005 Relay 30 is for petrol engines, diesels use R3 supply relay or relay 90 same thing different numbers, which is plum in the middle of the fuse box under the steering wheel. Symptoms are the same as petrol; engine will turn over but won't start, and then will start run for a while then turn itself off for no reason. Should cost you about Quote
suzuki91 Posted March 25, 2005 Report Posted March 25, 2005 had this problem with my tdi it would stop and after a short while start again.took three goes to get it home 8 miles. garage changed the relay 90, since then all well. :unsure: Quote
Fencourt Posted March 31, 2005 Report Posted March 31, 2005 To all My apologies the relay that needs replacing is 109 and NOT 90 as I referred to in early notes, please forgive, I throw myself at the mercy of the forum. Fencourt Quote
