Flooded - Help

[FLAT4MATT]

I\'m over the bloody moon mate, t\'s 100% again and I\'m loving it!

Your situation sounds worse than what mine was, I did have a mistery buzzing (still dunno what that was) but that wasn\'t the problem... There\'s nothing worse than an electrical problem on a modern car. I could draw the entire wiring diagram for the VW on the back of a fag packet lol...

I might be able to pop round if you like, I\'ll probably be of no use whatsoever but it cant hurt can it?

thanks for the offer - you might be able to help me in a different way though - do you have any 12v LED\'s ??

i can remember us having a chat about it at the last meet

cheers

Might have, what colour were you after? I\'ll have a look tonight...

doesnt really matter to be honest!!

you can wire 2 LED\'s up to the car and it will tell you engine error codes - so this is the next stage to try and get mine running !!

let me know please matey - can collect no probs

I had the same, ATF wouldn\'t even get mine going, in the end I put 10ml of 10/40 oil in each chamber, turned the engine over by hand and then tried her and she fired.

Was yours like mine and idled like crap for about 5/10 minutes and then settled down nicely?

Glad its ok

[FLAT4MATT]

Yeah it idled rough for maybe a minute or so and smoked for about five... More likely the ATF than anything else... It idles better than it did before which is nice too...

Stu - Pretty sure I will have some at home I\'ll dig them out for you...

[ds2000]

Just so others know, ATF is pretty much the same as power steering fluid.

Mine was rough for a good 10 minutes, but having not been started in 18 months I guess it was to be expected

matt - can you drop me a PM if you find them ( and also your contact details again please - managed to delete them )

cheers buddy
