1.4tsi Tiguan not starting

Post by Seelanone »

Hi Guys... Indeed of major assistance and advise. I bought a 2009 Tiguan 1,4tsi as a non runner and was told that the computer box has an issue. Logged the car by different Macs and all give me different diagnostic, everyone of them seem to want to charge me for changing what they feels the problem but no guarantees. The cars cranks but does not start. I was told to change the speed sensor at a cost of R4000 as a starting point. Will the car crank if the speed sensor is faulty. Or is there anyone who knows a good Mac that can do a proper diagnosis?

Where are you based? A VCDS scan report would be a good starting point.

yes it will crank. The starter does not care about the speed sensor.
Seeing that you give no detail as to location is is impossible to tell you about a good mac.
