My Notorious Mk6 118tsi - Intermittent Starting Problem - Won't Crank
Hi guys!
New member here and believe me I have searched the nether reaches for a solution to this problem.
I have a 2012 Mk6 Golf 118TSI (I know right?)
So I've had the supercharger clutch fail and replaced that.
I've had the alternator fail after oil spilt all through it (my bad) Has been replaced.
After replacing the above two items now my Golf has developed and intermittent starting problem.
Sometimes it starts first go, I'll drive it around, come home go inside get ready, come back out and try to start it and NOTHING. EPC light stays on. No crank at all. Just a click. I thought this was the Starter so I've replaced it and it's doing the exact same thing. I've had the battery tested and its ok. It won't crank with a jump start either. Also interesting is if I roll it back a few feet then sometimes it starts. Also the red light for the keys and immobiliser are functioning correctly so I do not think it's an access problem. I've also tried both sets of keys.
I've heard that this could be coil packs or the cam position sensor? I'm just getting too broke to keep replacing these items without knowing that it'll work. Also as usual the local VW dealer here is absolutely useless so id rather not involve them.
I'm not getting any codes show up either but I'm only using a cheap scan tool.
Any info would be appreciated!
