Hello guys,
I have been viewing this site, very helpfully for nearly a year now, I own a 06 Cayman S tip, and love the car (wish I had manual mind, but tip was required)
Anyway, I have recently come into a major problem, im hoping the US guys have seen this before and help out.....
Cayman was not driven for couple of weeks, and got in the car, went to start it and nothing for starters (initially thought battery had died) then tried again, then the starter motor ticked a few times, then suddenly engine grabbed a spark, started for about 5 secs, then completely stopped. After that, nothing.
I thought it was the battery causing problems as mentioned, however, the indicators work, all the lights come on when open the door, and the alarm was going crazy, however, I cant open either bonnet/boot, the window auto-opened, but doesnt close, and I am completely stuck as to what it is.
I had to call RAC to get the Cayman to garage (Camtunes in West Byfleet) once again, that was problematic, as the cars a tip, and obviously can't get out of the garage as cant get it into gear, its stuck in Park, so altogether unsuccessful. (manage to get it there in the end though)
Camtunes havent been able to work out what it could be, and have said that they have never seen it before. Any suggestions / experiences of this before?
Maybe ECU issues?
Any help would be appreciated
