Hello, I have a 2003 VW LUPO and just fitted a subwoofer to it. Fitted the sub perfectly without a problem, went to turn the ignition and there is no electrical power to the car whatsoever. I have measured the Voltage on the battery and it is 12.5v which is almost perfect. Also checked the earth point which the sub was wired to. Completely disconnected all power to the sub and still have nothing. Gone through and checked all fuses (ones on top of the battery and below steering wheel). And yes I have connected everything to the battery. Feel completely lost with this. Might anybody has any ideas at all please don't hesitate to contact me. Feel free to text as well 07713119095

Fuel light was on, vehicle left for 17 days, did a couple of short journeys (2 x 3/4miles), now it won't start!!! A similar situation a few weeks back, fuel light on & taking a chance, no spluttering & ran ok! Parked up for 10-15 mins it wouldn't start! Put 5 litres of fuel in & it started straight away, (I was thinking that perhaps a secondary system cut engine until fuel was put in?). This time, I put 4 litres of fuel in, the engine turns over with starter, but will not fire up! Work done so far:- 1) Put more fuel in ??? Another 5 litres of fuel in, still the engine doesn't start, fuel gauge now reading about 40% full, fuel warning light out No effect, still won't start! 2) Fuel starvation ??? Replaced fuel filter, engine coninues to turn over but will not start. 3) Fuel stop switch ??? I couldn't feel the solenoid stop switch working (click or vibration) so replaced it for a new one, still no sign of of click or vibration! I also measured resistance of old stop solenoid (.007 K ohms) I have no idea what it should read? Turned engine over, it initially sounded like it was about to start then nothing. I assume that this may be due to the fact that I have directly interferred with the available fuel when swapping the stop switch. 4) Is fuel getting to the injectors ???, I should have done this first! Loosened an injector union (cylinder 2), turned it over and fuel seeped out, so fuel getting to engine, retightened the union and engine still wont fire up! 5) Observation I have noticed that there appears to be a lot of air in the clear fuel feed pipe, but when the engine is turned over the air moves forwared to the pump (so the pump is working), but engine still won't fire up! All relevant instrument lights appear correctly. Can you help? You can text/call aswell to 07758 654 204 if you wish Gary
