Hi,

I have a 2001 Allroad which I have been having a few suspension problems with, but now something new has happened. The fuse 17 which supplies the control unit is blowing. When I put a new one in everything works OK but after about 3 minutes driving it blows again.

Any ideas?


Thanks

It seems there is a short somewhere in the system, but you would probably have to scan the car for codes...that narrows it down. It might be a wire that is about to brake or already broken. The purge valve's electrical wire is common to brake but that usually doesn't affect the fuse.

Fixed it. The purge valve wire had been rubbing on the pump cover and had shorted to earth.
