it was about £25, runs brilliantly now

Ok. turned out to be the rpm sensor, also known as the crank shaft position sensor, not to be confused witht the cam shaft sensor! This little bugger cuts off supply to the fuel pump, injectors and the coil pack rendering your car useless. But what a difference it has made - not only does my VR start now but it is really keen to accelerate, nice

My VR has been in the garage for two days now The mechanic had 'someone' come round and read the faults, he cleared them and started again and now he is saying that the rpm sensor is at fault. There is no spark. Could this be the cam shaft sensor or am i clutching at straws???

mine wont start at all now. I replaced the fuel pump relay but no joy. Car got towed this morning, hopefully gonna find out what the problem is tonight

both the fuel pump relay and the ecu relay click when the power is turned on, could they still be faulty. I suppose I should just change em both and have done wi it!

is that the funny buzzing sound you get when you turn the acc on?

cheers jim! Are they dear?

The vr6 has timing chains not a belt. they are supposed to be a none service item but on a high miler it would be worth having this done along with the clutch. Expect to pay anything from £500 to £1500 depending where you are and where you go to have it done. Get it checked first though

nice! the deep ones are loads better

starts fine when it's cold but cuts out when it's warm. Plugging in tomorrow. Let you know if anyones interested

V Easy! Works well and looks MEATY too!

i agree, mines done nearly 140k and the drivers seat is pretty much mint compared to that

yeah, cheers. Ineed to plug it in i reckon but i'd agree at one of those!

and then it started four hours later as if nothing had happened! dammit

Funny one this, I'll try and be as brief as i can! From the beginning.... About a week ago being a medling git I disconnected my battery and removed my TB to clean it. did the job, put it back on reconnected the battery and bingo, off we go again. I then realised that my TB needed to reset itself as it was tickiing over a bit high (about 1200rpm). I ordered a VAGCOM lead from egay and waited. obviously i had to use the car whilst i was waiting for royal mail to deliver my goods and it has been driving fine until yesterday when my car cut out twice whilst in motion and then carried on as if
