Hi

Finally got a mechanic friend to start on my GTI conversion into my 1.4 6n2. EVerything seemed fine with some slight hiccups along the way.

Now we have managedto replace the wiring loom, ecu, clocks, chip and transponder along with the conversion. Basically everything from the GTI hjas been put in but the car wont turn over.

Just looking for some help.

Thanks

Are you getting ignition lights and what not? - and also u selling the old engine

Yeah, everythings fitted etc and when i turn car on all the lights are displayed BUT the car isnt turning over

Charged the battery fully so know thats not at fault. Just looking if anyone else has any ideas before i call out a auto spraky?

Forgot to say that ive sold the old engine aswell.

Thanks

I presume it doesnt even attempt to fire. Check the fuses, the starter motor wiring and the spark plugs+distributor. A haynes manual may help - its probably something really small thats been overlooked

did you manage to find the fault??

I'm guessing you did use the key that was coded with the transponder you replaced then? i.e. you swapped your ignition switch for the GTI one so the GTI key fits it? or did you tape the key to the transponder ring and use your origional key to turn the engine over??

bump- c'mon randy..don't leave us in suspense...what was the problem?

Lol, sorry was too busy to reply before. I honestly dont have a clue what was wrong, yes im useless!!

I jst got an auto sparky in

So was the car just turning over randy?? But wouldnt fire into action?? That is what happened with me....and were you left with many spare plugs?
