Hi Everyone,
I know its not great for people to only join a forum when they need help but im not a bad person honest.... i am not completely useless with electro/mech stuff, im a development engineer but i am a bit worried about this one. this car is cleverer than my old bug.
Over the last few weeks i have had the odd hot restart problem if the car has been left standing for more than 10 mins once fully warmed up. not sure if this is related but may be a clue. over the last few days i have heard a lot of 'relay click' type noises from under the dash and sometimes the doors have been locked when i arrive at my destination. the car has an alarm called a 'quantum' which I dont have a key or remote for and has one of the plugs pulled out. there is also a quantum device near the relay board which seems to be a central locking interface. Are these factory alarms? Anyway now the car wont start and i cant even get the fuel pump to come on. the fuel pump is (i have found out) not in the same place as the 80 coupe manual says it is so i guess it may be in the tank?
can anyone tell me hoe to get to the pump wiring contacts and where to find the fuel pump relay? the maps for fusebox and relay location dont look like they belong to my car. my car is stuck at work so any info would be very gratefully received.
thanks,
jon.
