I have a 2003 beetle and recently started to not start. The n80 valve is clicking whicheck I never noticed before. I went to locate a new n80 valve with zero luck.
Any suggestions? |

"Not start" as in cranks good but no fire?, or turn the key and nothing but a click? _________________ Rust NEVER sleeps and stock never goes out of style.

Now that you mention it, the starter won't turn over with the key which I assume is an issue with the ignition (I've been starting it for over a month with jumper on the starter) but when I mean not start, I mean it won't begin running if I try to push start or use the starter. It was running just fine yesterday but this has been an issue the last few weeks. Usually I just cycle the key a few times and it will fire up. |

All of that points towards a funky ignition switch, maybe a Mexibeetle expert knows of another possible cause. _________________ Rust NEVER sleeps and stock never goes out of style.

Maybe check relay #30, not the same symptoms, but worth a look:
