Well, not the ignition coil at all, but a very wet hall sender. Don't quite understand how the hall sensor got so full of water (the rain was really coming down in buckets half an hour before driving), but emptied it out, filled it with grease and now have no problems at all.

Thinking about a ...

Hey, thanks for all the comments.

I kinda feel a little more confident about it just being the coil. I think I'm going to chance it an price up a coil from an independant VAG parts shop at the other end of town. Already checked on a VW parts web site and waiting for them to get back. The price ...

I always wondered what that noise was. When I first bought the car I spent 5-10 minutes trying ti figure out where it came from.

Yes, the fuel pump is priming. Does that indicate that the Hall sender and ecu are OK? Haynes is a bit vague regarding these things.

Hi,

thanks for getting back.

It is a 1994 'L' Polo Boulevard Hatch.

Hi again :D

Sorted. Simple really, page 6 of the Haynes. Squirty squirty on the ignition and fuel system electrical connectors.:shock:
I think they must have been getting condensated going from cold to hot and back to cold again. Not used to this car thing yet.

Will get a piccie of my cart up ...

Hi everyone,:D
