Golf mk4 ignition wiring

This has nothing to do with your question but I have the same car. Have you ever had a low oil pressure warning light. I had one and motor cut out. Replaced oil pump and serviced car but still won't start. Any clues

terminology- bogie cord?? Is that harness or coil high tension wire

they unplug.

Is this for a ignition coil output stage open circuit? If so you need to rerun the ground wire. Just but the wire close enough to the coil that you can still get to the wire and splice another wire to it. Just splice a wire to the brown wire and run the rest of the wire to a ground lug under the battery. You will need to remove the battery and the tray. Also when you hook the battery back up make sure the key is on. This will reset alarm and radio. Remember, you are grounding the coil so the wire should go from the coil to ground. Hope this helps

Hello Nigel,

Here is a video for a spark plug replacement on a 1998 vauxhall astra mk4 sport 1.8 16v.

It should provide you with some good tips even though it is not the
exact same model as your inquiring about.
How to change spark plugs Vauxhall Astra Mk4

• Drain coolant from bottom hose through a valve
• Disconnect coolant hoses from radiator
• Remove front body section and move lock carrier to service position
• Remove retaining clamps from A/C hoses near condenser
  
• Unbolt A/C condenser from radiator and support condenser with wire or heavy duty tie wraps Note: Do not discharge the A/C refrigerant. Support the A/C condenser with wire and avoid stretching or kinking the hoses.
• Remove radiator mounting bolts from both sides and slide radiator slightly to the rear
• Remove radiator and fans together from below
• Installation is the reverse of removal

It seems to me that somehow the driveshaft is slipping; I assume that in order to replace the wishbone you had to loosen the big nut that ties the driveshaft to the disk assembly, if this was the case, make sure that the "big" nut is really tight so that it does not slip. If the driveshaft slips, the planetary gears in the differential would transfer all of the engine power to that side of the car and no power to the other side, similar to having one wheel stuck in mud, or in the air. hope this helps
