205 Gti With Abs

[205gtiloz 1]

Hi all need some help stripped my 205 and put it back together and can't get it started turns over has fuel to the fuel rail and has spark I also have no dash lights when u turn ignition on what I am after is some one with a 205 gti fitted with abs that can send me a pic of the engine bay mainly behind the pass headlight I seem to remember removing a box from a bracket bolted to slam panel and I don't mean the black junction box I av not seen this before and can't remember what I have done with it or even what it was but I am sure it has some thing to do with it not starting any help would be great.thanks loz

There's nothing on the slam panel that relates to the ABS except for a couple of wires that connect to the power supply box you have already mentioned. In addition the ABS won't stop the car from starting. The loom is completely separate from the rest of the cars loom. You say you have fuel at the fuel rail, but do you defiantly have pressure there? If you unscrew the union and crank the engine, does fuel get pumped out? Your next check is that the injectors are firing. After a time cranking, the spark plugs should be damp with fuel. Do you know if you have Motronic or Jetronic management (what year is it and do you have a catalyst?). The only other box I can think of that is on the slam panel might be the relay box for a twin fan setup, but its unlikely you'd have that.

Wasn't the tachy relay box that goes under the battery was it?

Hi thanks for the reply it's a j reg I have pressure at the union and usually the power supply bolts to the slam panel mine has a bracket on the slam panel the it bolts to this and above the head light on the same bracket there was some thing els slide into it I am sure it's not the relay box for twin fans and it's no cat I am really stuck I have done loads of pugs now but not had one with abs I can't help thinking it is some thing to do with the missing bit what would stop all my lights on the dash stop working I have abs light wich comes on and goes off as it did I have the warning light on each gauge but the stop light and the rest in that row don't light up when I switch the ignition on

Was it one of these by any chance? You mentioned it slides in and that's what this does but on mine i've added it to fit a horn relay for my air compressor that takes a huge current.

That slide-on box contains the relays for the twin fan set up

Have you definitely reconnected everything into the power distribution box?

 

Fuses all ok?

 

HT leads connected correctly?

Hi again , ok got the car started drained the fuel out changed fuel filter new fuel start after couple of turns usually u can smell the fuel gone off can't believe it feel so daft but still have no dash lights or indicators but just noticed hazard switch is broke so that might solve the indicators which just leaves the dash lights which must be in the thing I removed from the bracket I mentioned earlier will keep u informed
