Re: 96 850 not starting sometimes

Well Liam took it to the store, about 2 miles away, and it wouldn't start when he went to leave the store, and he said the fuel pump is working and it's full of gas. He didn't check for fuel pressure, but it sounds like spark.

Re: 96 850 not starting sometimes

So far it has started every time. I pulled the fuel pump relay, and took it apart, there is a circuit board in there. The relay contacts looked excellent, but there were three, looked like cold solder joints, on the PCB. You wouldn't think the joints would be bad because it's a dual sided board and ...

96 850 not starting sometimes

I have a 1996 850 that the motor will turn over, all the correct dash light light up, but it won't fire. It's happened 4 times in 3 years, but twice yesterday. I thought it might be the park sensor, but I moved the gear lever from park to neutral and back several times and that did nothing. Any ideas?

Re: Ticking noise...

Mine was ticking after not running it for a month. Ticking went away after about 15 minutes of it running.

Re: Windshield wiper rubber

It took a few tries before I found the correct rubber for the Passat's Bosch Icons. The original wiper rubber has a notch on one end to lock into the metal frame.

Windshield wiper rubber

I have the standard windshield wipers still on, I don't want to pay for the frameless. I've been getting replacement rubber for the Bosch frameless wipers on my Passat from ebay, but I can't find the rubber for the conventional wiper holder. I'd much rather pay $2 for rubber than $34 for the entire ...

Re: Ignition switch issue?

I followed a write up on MVS on how to clean an ignition switch. One contact was really just carbon. 2 of the other 3 looked just a bit dirty and one looked good. Used 1000 grid sandpaper and deoxit and cleaned them up. It works, have to see if it happens again.

Ignition switch issue?

I drove my 96 850 turbo to McDonalds about 4 minutes away. Got the food and back to the car. When I stuck the key in, the lock cylinder was mighty warm and the car would turn over but not start. I tried about 8-9 times. Went to the back and beat on the fuel pump housing, went to start it and acciden...
