Year of Manufacture *: 2001
( Optional ) Engine Code or CC: 1.2
Looking for a bit of product knowledge on this one if possible. (thats a nice way of asking for a silver bullet btw)
Customer reports he parked, locked the car as normal and when he returned the central locking failed to work and the engine failed to start.
When I got the car the immo light was on solid, i.e communication fault. This was backed up by live data (Clip). The remote would re-sync manually and work perfect u til the engine was cranked then it failed again.
I checked for wiring issues under the bonnet, all ok and fault still present. I removed the UCH, wiggled wiring, unplugged it and plugged it back in. the car then started, remote re-synced and all working perfect. Now it wil not fail. I have checked the wiring back from the UCH, all looks ok.
I only unplugged the two small plugs from the UCH so I didn't power it down. In other words I didn't boot it.
Now to the silver bullet part. Anyone seen this before? Maybe I have missed a common wiring fault?
I didn't open the UCH either but that might be next. it looks clean and dry on the outside.
TIA
Alan
