Dave79 Posted March 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 i must know more about cars Ashh than i thought as i did that straight away well done me !!!!!!!!!! sorted now anyway was just looking for a bit of advise,for info purposesit was a heater element that sit in the breather pipe when i connected it it was popping fuses so i replaced the heater element and the fuse and we are back up and running,i think the fuel injection system must run on the same fuse, as vag code was for the injection system when replaced no codes for nothing this is why it would not startlooks like who ever had the car before just unplugged it as the part was £44.75 for vw Thanks Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
