Starter issues .. audi s2 avant .. ABY

[S2_avant 19930325]

If i change it , it will still not work , i have to check further on the electrical harness ,, there is the issue. Or something wrong inside the part it self. Hmm i should be able to hot wire it from the connector to with wires

Get a DVM on the switched live and earth the ground wire, get someone to turn the ignition key, if you don't get 12.5 ISH volts suspect the ignition switch...

Why does oiltemp show max ? What sensor controls the oil temp ?

Is the charging voltage ok ? A little bit over 13volt.

Why does my battery lamp show the charging battery lamp ?

And why does my oil lamp flashing ? What sensor controls that ?

Is it possible to measure the sensors if they are correct or broken ?

hmm ,, my headlights and turnsignal are dead ,, nothing. Hmm it must have to do with the ignition key holder stuff ???

Sensor for oil temp is underneath the car, under oil pump housing. That sensor is normally reliable but wire can get damaged or corroded.

Volts a bit low but ok.

Oil pressure sensors are left side of engine. Have you tested the pressure using an external gauge?

You seem to have multiple electrical issues. Wiring ok in engine bay?

Oil temp sensor ... check forgot to connect it.

My oil pressure is good. _The one in car original and in Maxxecu.

The flashing oil light , is it for low oil pressure ?

The battery lamp ,, what activates it ?

A few years ago ours went haywire with similar (not exactly the same, our ABS went nuts as well) symptoms with an alternator voltage regulator failure. It lit up like a Christmas tree.

[S2_avant 19930325]

Worth changing it on the alternator

[B5NUT]

If you have never touched the Alternator then it's also worth while changing the bearings as well. You can buy a service kit for around £30 which includes the regulator, slip ring, bushes and bearings.

Have you actually got the car to start now? I thought the car refused to start?

[S2_avant 19930325]

Well i have a starter handle directly to the starter .. a starter button and a lever for the ignition .. so i put on ignition withe levdr amd start on the button. I have ordered a part for the ignirion key.

The switch is almost certainly the cause of your mom start and strange electrics. The numbers on the rear of the switch relate to their designation. EG T30 is battery, T15 is ignition switched.

So .. i bought one regulator today ,,, didnt want from ebay a complete set. The generator was very good exapt the regulator. I changed it now i have 14 volt charging. So now i will wait for the electronic on the key ignition before i do more fault looking.

[S2_avant 19930325]

So .. i changed the ignition electronic module. Its the same. It will not start. Is there somekind of relay in between ? When i put on the ignition the battery lamp is lit ,, thats ok ,, and when i try to start it goes awy , almost like you put somekind of load , or shortcut.

[S2_avant 19930325]

Hmm .. the T1 and GB cable ,,, both gives me issues one is starter and the other one is oiltemp. So if the oil temp shows max temp al the time. That means that it is "activated" on load on some way ? If measure on the starter cable when turning the key what kind of reading should i get ?
