Re: Mk3 Golf, no spark...
VAG coilpacks are notoriously lousy. Definitely start there.
If your golf has it, you might want to invest 50 quid in a VAG COM kit, it'll diagnose pretty much anything.

Re: Mk3 Golf, no spark...
It'll be the coilpack.
Mine went on my 16v, was fine one minute, parked up, went to start it 30 minutes later, wouldnt start.

Re: Mk3 Golf, no spark...
When I got my golf about a week later I lost power all of a sudden. It was a problem with an electronic part that controlled the spark plugs. Don't know if it will be the same problem as you though, because mine was still firing on a couple of cylinders.
Ask on this forum though, they'll help you out: http://www.vwaudiforum.co.uk/forum/f...play.php?f=172 |

Re: Mk3 Golf, no spark...
Could be many things, if you have no spark check if you are getting a feed and pulsed earth to the coil from the ecu if not then it is more than likely the crankshaft position sensor gone bad as this sends a signal to the ecu telling it what position the engine is, and then the ecu triggers the coil, no cps signal no sparky.
goodluck |

Re: Mk3 Golf, no spark...
I don't understand how VWs have a good record. I don't know anyone who hasn't hd trouble. Mk3 golf especially!

Re: Mk3 Golf, no spark...
VWs don't with me, never have done.
The engine's are great; everything else attached to the engine will fall apart! |
