« Last post by Martyng40 on Yesterday at 07:27:02 pm »Given current economic conditions I’ve been getting the garage cleaned up and thinking about getting the polo into the garage... connected the jump leads and it started up straight away... ran a couple of minutes and seemed to be ok.. then it stopped.... I’m wondering the earth lead from the charger to the chassis seems to have a few strands that’s pulled out the end clip is that enough to upset everything???

Photos and videos / Back 2 G40
« Last post by TheZero on March 17, 2020, 02:08:37 pm »Hello you love me my youth caught up again.
But I don't want to hear about a midlife crisis
I became infected with G-Lader in 1997 when I was only 22 years old
I had the opportunity to get hold of a level 2 86C 2F made by a B&B employee.
It was all about me after the first test drive.
Unfortunately, with the little one, after a year, I had an unpleasant encounter with a meadow.
Say a departure into botany when the road is wet.
So a new one was needed. Another G40, of course.
Original condition, 1st hand and only 35tkm run.
I had almost 3 years of fun with it until I sold it.
But the G fever didn't catch up with me again.
And so 2 years ago I slowly but surely started looking for the most original G40 possible.
But see for yourself.

what does the measuring blocks say on the computer
its typical if theres a sensor fault for the revs to not change when you pull the sensor

dizzy i picked a replacement up from an auto jumble last weekend funnily enough and it had new cap leads and arm on it and was assured it came of a fully working engine.
blue temp sender i offered a replacement from vw so that’s been fitted
and all earths have been cleaned or replaced if they don’t look up to the job.
as i say my main concern is the fact nothing happens when i unplug the blue temp sender ive unplugged and checked every sensor on the car.and also have vw software on the laptop and no faults are coming up which seems good.
thanks for the reply by the way very much appreciated

are all earths fitted and clean
have you tested the blue temp sender on a meter? check again at the ecu plug
does the car have the diag plug ..you can read a few bits of data /fault codes
