20 Most Recent 2002 Volkswagen Euro Questions & Answers

Sounds like it may be related to the 'neutral safety switch'. When you turn the key to start the engine, current goes from the ignition switch through the neutral safety switch to the starter relay, then on to the starter. Some cars have a shift linkage adjustment to make sure the trans is fully into park; mal-adjustment could cause what you describe. Anyway, start diagnosis at neutral switch and proceed to starter relay. Don't forget to check starter power feed wiring for loose/corroded connections. I've seen many cars exhibit this condition after being driven in heavy rain, etc., and in most cases, the battery wire on the starter, or the ignition trigger connection had become corroded enough that contact was lost, sometimes intermittently. It is important when checking these to actually disconnect these wires and look for corrosion, etc. especially the spade terminal for the trigger wire(be sure to disconnect battery before using tools on the starter battery wire)

battery terminals loose?bad ground?short?

fuel filter needs cleaning

its definitly not the lamber sensor or catalyst that wouldnt cause it to cut out just cause white/black smoke comming out the back. It could be a loose wire under the bonnet which might have been triggered by you driving fast in reverse you can check all the wires under the bonnet and make sure there all connected propaly do this while the ehgine is off and your engine is cold otherwise you could burn yourself

Make sure the batter in your vehicle is good and the connections are tight. A weak battery in a VW will cause all sorts of lights to go off on your dashboard even if there isn't a problem. If you suspect one of the sensors to be bad you will have to use an OBDII scanner to pull the codes and see which sensor is showing a fault.

could any 1 help me with my heaters in my car as i have checked all fueses and they still not worken

Hello,

The code given by your car indicates that you have problem with the cooling system in your car which is as a result of a faulty coolant temperature sensor(G62) or the problem is from the coolant thermostat.
1.The solution is to check the coolant temperature sensor and replace it if faulty.

2.check the coolant thermostat,if the coolant thermostat is faulty,please replace it.

Hello! Please send the year of the vehicle and I'll get to work on its problem...Guru...Saailer I’m happy to help further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/david_6df67de3b14de867

there is a sensor in the wheels for the abs---have them checked.

Some things that would contribute to poor fuel economy.

Dirty Air Filter
Dirty MAF
Dirty IAC
Dirty ERG
Underinflated Tires
Mis-Aligned Tires
Worn/bad wheel bearings
Bad Gas Cap Seal
Incorrect Grade Motor Oil
Bad TPS - influences fuel ratio (trim)
Bad Knock Sensor (retards timing)
Bad Coolant Temp Sensor - (also regulates fuel/air ratio based on (perceived) temperature)
Failing Thermostat - so engine runs too cool.
Faulty Grounds - if corroded cause weak spark
Ignition Timing off - have it checked.
Failing Fuel Pump
Dragging Brake
Dragging/malfunctioning parking brake
Clogged/bad PCV Valve
Blocked or empty Catalytic converter
Primary O2 sensor
Leaking or Dirty Fuel Injectors

These are all potential causes of poor fuel economy.

Thanks!!

lowest will be $100.00(labor) to have it done. roughly $135.00 tax and all.
