Vw Golf mk1 gti 1979 don´t work....HELP

Hi guys

I need your help if it´s possible.

I recently finished my 1979 Golf 1.6 GTI and the worked fine untill one day that is shut off and didn´t started again.

I measured all things and I don´t understand the cause of this malfuction.

I think the ignition switch is causing this problem but my only doubt is that I have starter…so I don´t know if the ignition switch is bad or not…

I checked the fuel pump relay in other car and it´s ok but in my car doesn´t work..
I made a jumper to the fuel pump and works fine…
The coil dont´s have spark or 12V at the crank…I tested the coil and that´s ok

My car doesn´t have ignition module..


Can you help me please???

What is this word?


If the word is "doesn't" then it sounds like your ignition switch, or some of the associated wiring or connectors, is faulty.

Hi,


thanks for  your answer, I really think that´s the ignition switch who cause the problem but the fact that the starter work´s at the crank confuse me…..

There´s any way to make a test to check the ignition switch??

regards

If you can't get the voltmeter to the connector on the back of the ignition switch, then the next best place is at the back of the fusebox. The Haynes manual has wiring diagrams which will show you which connector and pin position to check, etc.

The fact that there's no power at the coil is the main issue though, its just the finding out which connector or wire (or the switch) is broken.

PS faulty ignition switch is quite a common issue on Mk1 Golfs.

Problem resolved…..

The problem was in the breaking points….thanks for you help..
