Hi, did you ever sort out this problem?,did you make sure the starter motor is correctly making good earth to the engine or car body? What was the fix if any ? Not sure why you think fuel pump relay is related l don't think it is.
Yes it was the relay, I have come across this many times not only golf even in Passat, touran etc. if it’s starter motor it won’t turn, given that your battery isn’t flat.
Where did you get your information ref the 645 relays Red position is starter notor and lower Blue position is fuel pump. Are you certain this is correct information? as you maybe on the wrong relay
Sup bud! I have a golf mk6 1400 highline, Im facing an engine start problem aswell, I got my battery checked and it was as good as new, when I turn the ignition the dash keeps turning on and off and there is no crank at all, I just have to wait till the dash fully turns on and the battery light turns on then switch and it works, but makes noise as well. Any idea what could be the problem and do you think this could fix it?
I tried putting the gear in D (manually by openning the gearbox and pressing the yellow button) then the dash does turn on but I can't start the car while on D, when I move back to Parking the dash goes back to turning on and off every sec.
Tick tick quick flash on/off indicates either loose connection or weak battery, make sure battery voltage is over 12.4 before you try and turn, when it will get load it does go down but if it goes below 11.5v it will do the same. But again make sure this relay is pushed down, take it out and push it down. Lastly it could be starter as well. When you try and turn and it makes noise but won’t turn but makes noise first time and next time it starts it’s definitely starter
@@Motorsexpert I went and checked my battery, it is 100% as good as new. I also fixed the starter and now there is no tick sound but still the car takes time to turn on, sometimes dash keeps restarting (all electrics in car) and I have to wait until battery light turns on dash then switch the key. No idea what could be the problem, some days it works perfect and some it takes time to run.
To diagnose and address the issue of random shutdowns, you can start with a couple of key steps: 1. Begin by inspecting the fuel supply. This can be done by detaching the pipe that runs from the pump to the injection rail. This will allow you to check if there's an issue with the fuel flow. 2. Next, examine the timing belt as this is a common cause of random shutdowns. Carefully remove the timing belt cover, which is located on the right-hand side of the engine. This will give you access to inspect the belt for any signs of wear or damage. It's important to note that if the timing belt is indeed broken, avoid excessively cranking the engine. Over cranking with a snapped belt can lead to further damage to the engine head and other internal components. It's crucial to handle these components with care to prevent additional issues.
Thanks, having the same problem with golf 6 tsi 2010.... Will try that
