HELP!!! This car is ruining my life!
maybe look at fuel pump wiring, maybe someone bodged a different relay somewhere, that would explain the wur as the original fuel pump wiring wont be powered up no more…
edit: the pins above assume the car is on the later blade fusebox! im getting confused about which car we are talkign about now

Well I just drove to the gym, and over to the petrol station too after. She's sweet as a nut accelerating…I'd say better than she's been before
![:D](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/themes/default/images/ocf_emoticons/grin.png)
Went to the petrol station though to fill up with super unleaded (last £5 that went in was from a jerry can and the garage near me doesn't do super unleaded) and I've also put in some Forte Injector Cleaner (don't know if it actually works…but some on here seem to think so).
Other good news…previously after a run the bonnet would feel hot, yet the coolant temperature was never even up to halfway (people told me all was fine and it was just because it was fresh coolant). Now…coolant temperature gets to halfway and bonnet doesn't get hot (fresh coolant again, but also fresh oil and filters)
![:D](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/themes/default/images/ocf_emoticons/grin.png)
Going to drive to work tomorrow (35miles/45mins) to see if maybe she just needs a good run out after being sat not running properly for 4 weeks.
BUT it's oh so sweet to be driving her again all thanks to you guys!!! So thank you thank you thank you (AGAIN!!haha).
Will now go check the TTS wiring again and then rewire it in if there's power.

They are there only to help with warm up (AAV and WUR) and cold start (other 2). The way they work, with a bi-metallic strip which gradually heats up, means that if the electrics aren't connected, it will still heat up due to convection because its bolted to the engine block etc.
So, get the engine running properly at its normal temperature, then solve the cold start or warm up issues. Don't try to 'sort out' the warm up stuff before this!

But yeah, going to try and get the idle right at least before the drive to work. And then get booked in to a garage to get the mixture right! Thanks for your assistance too Paul.

The drive was successful…in that I got there and back
![:D](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/themes/default/images/ocf_emoticons/grin.png)
The car does seem to be getting harder to start each time, and I am getting an aroma of petrol coming through. Leaky injectors maybe? At the least I think I need new seals as I know the injectors wobble since me trying (and failing) to pull them out.
Had a dream last night that I got the injectors out…n there wasn't one connected at all to cylinder one!!! This car is clearly consuming too much of my life now I'm bloody dreaming of the thing too!!!
Well tomorrow I'm taking her to a guy off here who has a garage. His CO2 tester's packed in, but hopefully he'll be able to have a good look over

Driving back, the idle changed and crept back up. And then one of my chrome trims fell off on the A1 (ie no return to save that)!!!!lol. Aaaaaah god bless her.
Now got bolts over the cam cover and need to change a couple of studs and a few nuts for the rocker cover…basically the kit I got was about £10-15 cheaper than the VW one…and now I know why!!
I've adjusted the idle so it's a bit better when warm, but when cold now it's super low. Hmmmmm, definitely getting there though
![:D](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/themes/default/images/ocf_emoticons/grin.png)
So pretty much good news minus a shiny chrome bit!haha

N Chris I hope it keeps starting ok for you from now. They are a nightmare…but I've had reliable cars and my god they're boring. Where's the fun n satisfaction in a journey if you know for certain you're going to reach your destination?
Thank you again one and all!! You all deserve to be member of the year I say!!!!
