I converted my automatic 1.6 ph3 car to a manual gti6 which was previously in ph2 pug. I am trying to start the car and it is not starting. All ground wires are intact, coil packs are good, crank sensors everything is in working order but the car just won't start. What can be my problem?

automatic starter inhibiter circuit bridge the live switch to the starter to the battery it will probbly start. i have just done the same conversion on my 1.4 meridian estate which was a manual and did not have any problems i swaped the wiring from the bulkhead plug under the wiper motor and fitted an unlocked ecu no problems my engine was a 1998 phase 2 into a 2002 car.Big grin Big grin

just put a piece of wire from the live battery terminal to the small wire on the starter motor see if it will turn the engine over

Cool i have had a look on autodata but with no joy on finding the relay the locks out the starter circuit i'm guessing its in the fuse box under the dashboard if this is any help.Big grin the picture you have posted is a phase 3 engine bay fuse box i would recomend fitting the phase 2 front end loom the only bits that are different are the headlight level motor plugs and the abs multiplugs phase 3 has one phase 2 has 2 plugs for the abs sub loom
