Rsjvr6 1 Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Hi GuysOver the last few days I have had a nightmare with my golf. It basically wouldnt start. I tried to push start it and again it was not kicking in at all. So I called the RAC and they came to inspect my car at home. It turns out that the relay to the starter motor from the immobiliser had packed up. I was quoted £200 to remove the existing Toad Alarm and then purchase and fitting of another one(due to insurance). So I was looking at a £600 bill. The RAC man suggested that I contact Goodwins as they have a good reputation. He was able to bypass the immobiliser so I could drive the car to the Goodwins Workshop. I drove it to Goodwins and spoke to the man and he said leave it with us and we will look into it. They confirmed what the RAC man had said. I asked them if there was any alternative. To my suprise they said that they could re wire the immobiliser from the starter to the fuel pump meaning I had two fuel cut offs, and I needed a new ignition switch. THE BILL - £70 including labour and an ignition switch. I highly recommend them, their prices were fair and the service was excellent. If anyone in the midlands wants to use them I will upload a number shortly. I am one happy bunny!!!! Link to post Share on other sites
