Ben Seabrook 4 Posted March 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 cheers for the call Jim - Euro's have the fuel pump relay for £7.70 + vat in stock but need a vw part number to check for the ecu relay - anyone got one ?also this http://www.clubgti.com/FORUM/showthread.php?t=13485 sounds familiar just a shame he never posted an answer but he was also fairly sure it was a relay Link to post Share on other sites
thegoth 5 Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 need a vw part number to check for the ecu relay Pull your own. Mr B says it's 2nd row up from the fuses, 3rd in from the left. printed with a big 30, 109 or 288. Link to post Share on other sites

Ben Seabrook 4 Posted March 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 disconected the MAF sensor and started the car again tonight and it only ran for a few seconds before cutting out so guess it's not that then !! Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Its the colour of it I reckon!!!!!!!Thats what happens when you have a purple charger :-p Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Seabrook 4 Posted March 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 Its the colour of it I reckon!!!!!!!Thats what happens when you have a purple charger :-p a purple charger sounds rather risque ;)well gone and picked up a fuel pump relay and when it stops hailing will nip out and fix it and see what happens !! fingers crosses peeps Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Seabrook 4 Posted March 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 right then fitted the new relay and that seems to have cured my dodgy idle but the car still randomly cuts out !!! - maf or fuel pump next maybe ?? also one thing I noticed when I took the kick panels off below the steering wheel is all the metal brackets were quite rusty - would this, somewhere behind the dash, maybe be the cause of my water leak and if so if the water is trickling down towards the fuse panel presumably this might be causing some of my problems !!!!

thegoth 5 Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 does sound more and more like the engine speed sensor. When stopped mine reads 00513 03-00 no signal. Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Seabrook 4 Posted March 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 does sound more and more like the engine speed sensor. When stopped mine reads 00513 03-00 no signal.yeah might grab that one you gave Steve off him and bung it on mine to see what happens - also just unplugged the MAF and it idles like a dream no hunting no bucking sat in the car park for about 5-8 mins and it was perfect - so taken the MAF off given it a good spray with electrical contact cleaner and will put it back on and see what happens - fingers crossed again !!

jims13 6 Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 im sure ive got one ben , so do not buy one.. ill get it to you somehow Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Seabrook 4 Posted March 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 cheers Jim - forgot to ask you on the phone, how easy is it to fit the new sensor part as well as the housing ? remembering my lack of mechanical ability ;) Link to post Share on other sites
thegoth 5 Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 I swapped the engine speed senors over myself, in a lunch time, at work so must be easy ;-) Getting access when your car is slammed is the hardest part. Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Seabrook 4 Posted March 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 yeah - might have to invest in a jack !!! - but as long as I can get it running ok with the new MAF the plan is to have a day with Jim before Germany sorting out all the little niggles so could do it then as well Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Seabrook 4 Posted March 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 just found this !!!!! - http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=2080.0maybe nothing at all to do with the MAF - what do you think peeps is it worth getting a new hall sender as well ?? this is exactly my prob Link to post Share on other sites
thegoth 5 Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 According to Mr B, the relay with the big 30 mentioned on Gti forum is the ECU supply for 8vers. Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Seabrook 4 Posted March 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 ah ok well planning on getting a new ECU relay and a hall sender and then trying to fit your speed sensor as well - will phone local vw garage to get the part numbers for the relay and sender Link to post Share on other sites
