The fuel pump relays is clicking and you can hear the pump priming, could this be something to do with the starter motor ? ________________________________________ Old pugs don't die they just get faster |

Check the fuse for the alarm siren, IIRC the immobilizer is on the same circuit.Phase 2 fusebox - http://www.306gti6.com/forum/showthread.php?id=69121 Phase 3 fusebox - http://www.306gti6.com/forum/showthread.php?id=67123 Fuse 6 on a PH3 IIRC ________________________________________ 1999 Astor Grey GTi-6 OEM+ |

It's been recovered now 😒 Does the imboliser disable the starter motor I always though it did the fuel pump ? ________________________________________ Old pugs don't die they just get faster |

sounds like loose battery or starter terminals. had a very similar problem where it would work for a while then stop the start turning over but everything else worked. then it would all of a sudden start. ________________________________________ 1997 ph1 bianca GTI6 - The looker1996 ph1 Sigma GTI6 - Dead  1999 Red Rallye - The Daily 2005 Nissan Navara D40 - Family car 1968 Mustang Coupe - The dirty little secret Put ya foot down, put ya foot down we'll loose em easy! |

It's in the garage now and I've got a horrible feeling I'm about to get my pants pulled down. I though it could be a loose terminal but for the life of me I couldn't remember where the starter motor is all even see it ________________________________________ Old pugs don't die they just get faster |

Ahh I wonder if this is from the smash on the front ? Maybe it's loosened the wiring________________________________________ Old pugs don't die they just get faster |

I'd deffo say it's a wiring issue rather than a starter motor issue.What work was done after the bump? |

Umm I used a claw hammer to pry the bonnet open and presumed the rest would fix it self, for some reason I thought the starter motor was around the back of the block ________________________________________ Old pugs don't die they just get faster |

Mine did exactly this but it didn't start again, turned out to be a fuse for the immobiliser |

It was a little while back now tbh so can't remember exactly but from memory it was dead as a dodo but I think I could smell fuel, and from my limited understanding the immobiliser cuts ignition? (Sorry it was ages ago now so it's hard to recall exactly) |

£360 for recovery 3 miles down the road from where there based and a new starter motor. Yep that sounds reasonable :-(________________________________________ Old pugs don't die they just get faster |
