Right guys need your help...
Following on from this thread (if you dont want to read it here's a brief summary: Car is a 105ps Passat engine no: BKC 743465 The engine siezed when driving at 20mph. It wouldn't re-start. I found that it was the flywheel that had failed and bits of broken flywheel had jammed between it and the bell housing) i've now re-fitted a new flywheel and clutch assembly and a few other bits and bobs.
The problem now is when i turn on the ignition i get a fault up on the dash saying "Engine fault garage" it also says parking brake fault and steering column lock fault. When I push the key in to turn it over nothing happens, no click no clunk it doesn't even try.
Now one thing I don't know is, when the engine seized, how many times they tried to turn the engine over. So as far as I know the starter may of seized!
Just thought I would ask if there is anything I can do to rectify this? I am going to pull the starter back off tomorrow and bench test it.
Oh forgot to mention I plugged in my OBD reader and it pulled up one fault 0600 - serial comunication fault. I cleared that but it made no difference.
Any help appreciated,
Ashy.
