ok how do i bridge the fuel pump relay switch , finding the right switch is a battle on its own under the glove box !!

Assuming your fusebox is the old style one, the fuel pump relay has been highlighted with the blue line...





This is what the pins on the back of the fuel pump relay look like...





You just need to get a single wire with pins on each end similar to the ones on the relay and then plug the wire into the slots on the board that correspond with pins #30 and #87 on the pic above.

If everything is working fine, you should hear the fuel pump buzz into action as soon as you have plugged in the bridging wire (ie. you won't need to turn on the ignition).

At least, that's the procedure we followed on my car to establish that the old fuel pump relay was dead.

I have a bridging wire at home, if you're still unsure I can take a photo of it after work if you like.

Nice informative post Liam.

If you have a multimeter, you can just check the voltage across the terminals at pump when the ignition is on.

when this happend to my GTI when turning the car on the rev counter would go up so i took the wire closest to the front of the car of and replaced it with the other wire on the coil. that got it going 1st time. (not sure how its just what a vw mechanic told me to do)

ok volksee77 dad came over today and checkd it out !!! the problem was the coil , had no spark to the clynders , the ignition is still stuffed (switch) but replaced coil !!
went for a drive and on the way back it died on me !! stalled, volksee77 dad told me if it cuts out ect... put a wire from the positive terminal and trace it to the coil on one of the positive points , that worked !! coooll , so there is still somthing there that needs attention , but for now its running , cheers volksee77s dad !!!

AAH thats true , all the help was use full watercoolers , learnt alot from this episode !!

back to the start again!!!
this time have no spark again ?

Maybe try a new coil?

Is the rotor button ok?

Are the points looking alright?

Is the coil lead firmly connected?

Will it turn over?

Only trying to give you some thing to try that are easy.
