Hello Folks,
I have had a huge nightmare with a VW Transporter 2.5 Tdi, that died last week. I managed to borrow a snap-on reader, that pointed to the G2 temperature sensor, and would not read the ECU.
I have spend well over 10 hours checking cleaning earth points, trying relay 109 etc.
I had a local VW garage look at the trouble and they didnt know what it is.
It keeps raining on me as soon as I get enthusiastic about attempting further investigation, and I am morally obliged to tell anyone reading this that I am 1. Either thinking about ending it all, or 2. having a huge bonfire on my drive.
There is some rather large wires from the battery that connect into some connections and control unit under the N/Side headlamp support, and as this part seems to supply the glow plugs (according to my multi-meter) should I replace this?
The ECU not reading led me to remove it, open up the casing and have a good sniff. This seemed to smell as it should, and not like you have been proding the fire with a bic pen.
If there is any suggestions on what to check, how to check, then £20 for the winner (seriously). I cant afford to throw money at it with a major dealership.
I am in the process of breaking little clips during my frustration, and rather that get into pulling fuse boards out would light to tread carefully.
Come on £20!!!!
