non starter

Hi guys,
I have just done a stoopid thing, car was running, I pulled a fuse out and the engine stopped, now it wont restart, any ideas anyone??? The fuse was in the side panel, 10 amp i think, and the symbol corresponding to it was the pic of the engine. HEEELP!!

Put the fuse back

I'm no expert but could this not have been a fuse for the immobilser? Maybe the key and car have fallen out and aren't communicating anymore so the immobilser is stuck on?

Possible key reprogram?

He just needs t replace the fuse i did it when messing around with my clocks once.

 

[skullarms]

no lol i put the fuse straight back in!!!!
could be the immobiliser thingy though, will try that, erm, how do i do it???

 

[LEE69]

Are you 100% sure the fuse is fine?

 

[skullarms]

yep, i put a new one in to be sure, and all is well, except it doesnt start lol, turns over but doesnt fire

 

[LEE69]

Sounds like you need vag com to pair the ecu to the clocks now.

 

[skullarms]

i'll try the key thing first, you know the sequence? or could i search on here??

 

[LEE69]

There are five fuses in the side panel with the engine symbol (meaning ECU) against them, four of them in my fusebox are 10A (red).

Is it a mini-fuse or full sized?

Which number fuse?

Have you put it back in the right place?

Has it blown?


Potential ECU 10A fuses:

(post November 2001)

10 (mini-fuse) S-contact
29 (10A for a diesel like mine, 15A blue, 20A yellow or 25A white for a petrol. What's your engine?)
32 Injectors (petrol) , 30A green Diesel ECU
34 ECU
43 Diesel ECU

The immobiliser doesn't have a separate fuse.

[skullarms]

ok it was a full size fuse, back in the right place, will have to go check the number and get back to you, i put a new fuse in which i checked isnt blown, hope its nothing serious!!
