Hi,
I am only getting finished with a steering rack problem and before I'm finished I fax a new problem which is much worse. I have an electrical problem I believe.
This is on Mk4 Golf TDI PD. When I was finishing flushing and bleeding the power steering I started the car to let it run and warm up so I could check for leaks and see if all air was out of steering fluid. The car was started up a few times today but when started up this time from cold I left ticking over for a min while I was turning the steering from lock to lock both sides and it started to half cut out a few times and every time it did I heard a relay or something clicking from under the dash under the steering wheel. It then did cut out completely, could it be relay 109?
Car would not start immediately afterwards and I tried cranking a few times. I now hav a flashing heater glow plug light on dash and ENGINE WORKSHOP displayed also. Scanned for codes in Engine and there was 2 codes.
(1) is 17978 engine start blocked by immobiliser P1570-static- no define.
(2) is 18072 Control Circuit for PD Injectors: Electrical Malfunction : P1664-static no define.
Tried starting again but still no start but 3rd code now appeared which is;
(3) 16989 Internal Control Module: ROM Error: P0605-static-no indication on display.
I also had another code which was found in ABS BRAKES section in scanner and it is;
(4) 01314 Engine Control Module sporadic 013-Check DTC Memory
I thought maybe relay 109 may be the cause as it sounded like a relay clicking under the steering wheel so I changed it for my new one on standby as I heard they can cause all sorts of electrical issues or non starter. Then cleared all codes apart from 1 code that wouldn't clear which was;
Code 3,Internal Control Module: ROM Error: P0605-static-no indication on display.
Still no start. I unplugged the ECU and re connected it after a minute for quick check and it still cranked over, tried it a second time and kept tipping the accelerator and after cranking for about 10 seconds it started. I revved it a bit a couple of times and it died again and I heard the clicks clicking under dash wen it died. It wouldn't start immediately after that again.
Can anyone please shine a light on this for me please?? I am really needing my car back on the road asap it's already been in axle stands for past month almost due to problem with steering rack and lack of time to deal with it. All help is hugely appreciated and sorry for the lengthy post!
