#1: Gti180 issue Author: MattyP, Location: PlymouthPosted: Wed Jun 11, 2014 5:40 am ---- Friend has asked me to find out on here if anyone knows what his issue his with his engine.
Basically my mate was on his way to work doing 60mph when without warning he had no drive, the AA were called out and checked the basics, fuel pump is fine and kicks in when it should, all fuses/relays have power going to them and there no fault codes, yet it won't start at all.
He has just recently drove from newquay to castle combe and back and had no issues at all until this morning.
Any ideas please chaps?

#3: Re: Gti180 issue Author: MattyP, Location: PlymouthPosted: Wed Jun 11, 2014 7:03 am ---- thats what he's stressing out about lol, it has plenty of fuel in it and the pump is still working, my thought was crank sensor as that went on my old gti but it still started up, this doesn't even start

#7: Re: Gti180 issue Author: 180moff, Posted: Thu Jun 12, 2014 3:10 am ---- hi guys its my car. (black 180 at FCS with GT kit) Basically i haven't got a clue whats wrong with it... fuel primes.. sparks fine.. all fuses relays etc all been checked over. everything is ground as it should.. all sensors fitted correctly showing no signs of deterioration. in theory it should just start up. i can hear it wanting to go, almost like it coughs but just doesn't take. the ride is very hard and I'm hoping that its just rattled something loose. (but what, i don't know)
had no problems before this, started fine as i left work, almost home and she just cut out. no engine management light came on prior. the AA guy plugged his diag machine into my car and it said ECU was working correctly no faults shown...
i know on the smaller engine 206's there was a fuel cut off switch but in the 180's they are built into the ECU with the airbag or something i believe. so no red switch to push in the engine bay.
Cheers for the help guys, keep it coming

worth a try.

#10: Re: Gti180 issue Author: mattymj, Location: NorfolkPosted: Thu Jun 12, 2014 1:35 pm ---- As paul said. Remove the battery as you should the safe way. Unscrew tray and check the earth strap under there
#11: Re: Gti180 issue Author: Trek, Posted: Fri Jun 13, 2014 6:35 am ---- cambelt slipped? check all normal things, compression , fuel pressure on the rail, as the pump pressure in the tank regulator could be stuck open,check static cam timing
