VR-Six 0 Posted June 9, 2005 Report Share Posted June 9, 2005 I was about to go out and my car has decided not to start. When I turn the key all of the intrument lights in the dash start flashing and there is a fast, loud clicking noise coming from the dashboard. Its a '92 Golf VR6 but has a 2.9 'raddo engine in it. Also when I use the electric windows/sunroof the abs light comes on and both windows and sunroof are moving very slowly compared to normal. I had to replace the starter motor a couple of months ago but the car didn't react in the same way as it has today. The electrics on the car have been pretty dodgy for the past few months anyway - left indicators stay on when alarming the car, headlights fade when using electric windows etc - so I'm wondering if the wiring is screwd?? Any advice as to what might be causing this prob would be VERY MUCH APPRECIATED!! PLEASE HELP!! Link to post Share on other sites

VR-Six 0 Posted June 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2005 Cheers m8 - I got caught up in a prety serious thunder storm last week and by the time I got home there was a fair amount of steam comin from the engine bay - I guess thats what you get for havin ur car too low!! I've driven the car since then so I'm quite surprised that this has happened now. Link to post Share on other sites
