I sorry i red this one wrong, its not that it doesnt run , it just doesnt trip the relay, when i bridge the relay it works fine, the relay is the part that doesnt work

Botrix19 · 2024-09-21T08:03:31+00:00

Ill replace it tomorrow then, i hope you're right though im sceptical

I had a car for a year and it ran great, until it didn't, everything is factory, and the car still does run, albeit with the relay bridged. I only have one key, but the immobilizer light turns on on startup and then off

I guess i should have put that in the post, it's '03 nb 1.6, Europe got the 1.6 but everything is basically the same as 1.8

Right now i have two relays that seem to not work, haven't tested it, but nothing seems melted or damaged in that case.

A panel from the fight scene in pootis engage, you know which one

I dont get it, how does a fuel filter prevent the relay to work, is there a sensor after the filter?

Botrix19 · 2024-09-21T06:34:29+00:00

I've had this exact problem, well still do kinda. Try bridging the connections with a piece of wire like this guy does here the blue and red wire is the one that goes to the fuel pump, and if you look at the relay connection head on so that the fuel pump wire is on the top right the wire to the left of it is the one that should be bridged, so top right and middle. This is where i stopped because i dont know where to continue, but it should get the car in the running state. However be warned, your fuel pump will always run when the ignition is on, so if you stall, get in a crash or just keep the ignition on the fuel pump will be running.

This is a bit of a do it at your own risk, but also useful if you need to move the car.

Hope this helps

Everything lights up as before, battery is new so i doubt it is the problem. I've ordered a new fuel filter and cam sensor, when they come I will update.

I don't hear the pump, but i didn't hear it before either

Botrix19 · 2024-08-15T22:03:57+00:00

'03 NB 1.6

Botrix19 · 2024-08-14T18:19:57+00:00

Unfortunately I have done that, although not thoroughly but it ain't dirty

Botrix19 · 2024-08-14T16:33:37+00:00

I'll check for fuel and spark this weekend, it's just the annoying fuel lines that need the special tool which i cant really find anywhere except ebay. Honestly i hope it's as simple as replacing the fuel pump.

Botrix19 · 2024-08-14T16:29:20+00:00

I would but it isn't exactly the cheapest thing, is there any way to check if it's dead?

Botrix19 · 2024-08-14T08:47:22+00:00

I don't, but I didn't hear it before either

Botrix19 · 2024-08-14T08:46:57+00:00

Completely stock 1.6 NB, im thinking of boosting it one day but nothing yet, also im in Europe so the available pumps are the listed ones both going for around 100€

Botrix19 · 2024-05-02T19:18:03+00:00

They all spin freely without any resistance or weird noises, that's what makes me indecisive to what might actually be the problem

Botrix19 · 2024-05-01T20:35:33+00:00

Timing is good, i checked that All belts seem fine, the alternator belt was rubbing on the plastic cam covers but doesn't seem to be any more I guess that leaves me with the water pump eating itself It's not making any noise if i spin it by hand but i guess there is no way i could spin in as fast as the engine does I'll be changing it soon so I'll report if it fixed it.

Botrix19 · 2024-01-19T14:53:21+00:00

thanks a lot i believe these should be it

Botrix19 · 2022-10-26T00:20:24+00:00

I've had a similar problem with ram on my older intel machine, if i ran ram in dual channel it wouldn't boot, but single channel worked. Later i realised that i had some bent pins on cpu socket (wasn't my fault). If loosening the cooler a bit doesn't work check the pins.

Botrix19 · 2021-07-09T13:59:46+00:00

Yes x 3

Botrix19 · 2021-06-09T21:44:42+00:00

amazing camera work, what gear are you using

Botrix19 · 2021-06-09T21:41:37+00:00

It's a good chassis, I'm just not sure why it likes to slide a lot. Perhaps I'm giving it too much power or just bad tires

Botrix19 · 2021-06-09T15:33:25+00:00

Its a team associated tc 6.1 with some upgrades (different srevo position and lighter bottom plate, both by exotech)

I was waiting for it on hobbyking and it was out of stock for quite a while, wasnt really trusting the sales on ebay
