Title: HELP please.................
Post by: dani1326 on March 15, 2011, 11:15:47 PM
hi all i started my G40 up today and drove around 2 miles down the road it was missing and when i put my foot down to pull away from the round about and it cut out totally... wouldnt restart, i got towed home and loooked at the spark plugs, there 2k old same as the dizzy so i no there fine anyway, but there is such a weak spark on the plugs, there is a small crack in the coil pack so im guessing its that or the HT leads.....

what coil pack will i need the G40 is in a 6N here is a pic of it, i no i need G40 ht leads

Id check the relays. If the fuel pump relays died, the engine will turn and thats it.

G40 fuse boxes are totally different. I believe the 6n uses a CE2 fusebox, common with other VWs such as late mk2 Golfs, and various Passats and Corrados etc. I think the pin outs are different between variants too, but it's normal for the relay holders to be half empty, depends on the spec and options/accessories fitted.

Could well be the coil. They can sometimes splutter under full load if they're on the way out. Also change the leads for a known good set, particularly the king lead.
