Had some trouble firing up the VM. First started a fortnight ago and I haven't had time to try it since then.
I can hear the starter click once when I turn the key to 'on' and it turns over alright until the battery drains.
When I hook up to the Golf, the voltmeter shows around 12v. If I leave it it goes up to 13 and has a good go at turning, but just won't fire up.
I didn't think you could flood diesels, but I had tried firing the glow plugs a few times before starting, then just once but with the accelerator down to see if that helped fire it. Still not going though.
The glow plugs are less than 2 years old, so they should still be fine. Checked the starter fuses under the bonnet and in the kick plate under the steering wheel, all seem fine. I switched the starter relay with one of the others and it makes no difference, so presumably they're both ok.
Any dieselheads got any ideas?
