Cordoba won't start

[azzie83]

Hi everyone!

I have a Cordoba, '97, 1.7 SDI. My problems started when my oil heaters (the ones placed in the cylinders that are used for heating up the oil when starting the engine) burned out. So I bought new ones and replaced them. But my car still wouldn't start. So after some checking I realized that my new oil heaters weren't getting any power or to be more accurate, current. Now I wanted to check for the fuse responsible for the heaters. So on the main fuse board (underneath the steering wheel) I tried to located the fuse.

My question is:
- Is the heaters fuse on the main fuse board, or somewhere else? Which of all the fuses is (number)?
- If it isn't the fuse then it is very likely that something is wrong with the relay responsible for delivering the current to the heaters. How do I locate that relay. There are some relays above the main fuse board, but there are only numbers on them. Does anyone nw what is the "magic number"?
- Does anyone have the electrical scheme for my Cordoba?

Any help is more then welcome...

Fuse for diesel pre heating is in the engine bay just above the power brake system and its a 50amp fuse.

Thats what it says in the owners manual but there's no image.

couldn't tell you where exactly it is but the 50A maxi fuse (bigger than a normal one) used to be common fault

always got told it was in engine bay or above fusebox and one toledo we had was on in both places

Problem solved... The fuse along with the relay was below the stearing wheel, above the 10A fuses. You cant miss the fuse since it the only one among the relays. The relay for Seat Cordoba, '97 is marked with number 144 or 166. I just wanted to share that with you guys, in case someone is troubled with the same problem. Thnx
