Just about to pick up a 106GTi today absolutely mint car and the only problem on the whole car seems to be a very very sensitive Indicator Relay/Stalk. It seems to make the indicator ticking noise as though your indicating even when your not, It seems very random when it chooses to go off, so was wondering if anyone knew how easy this is to sort and if It was common etc

Thanks

 

My 106XR 1.1 does this, its damn annoying!! I've been hunting around to try and find how to fix it without any luck so far.

 

Could be the relay,stalk or sometimes a bad/worn connection in the hazard switch will cause this..
Bit of trial and error unfortunately..anyway its french,get used to it..

 

Heres my post on the GTi owners forums:--

My 306 did the same thing occasionally, though it hasnt done it for some time now, i just removed and reseated the relays which were under the dash, fixed the problem since.

lol I'm no good at actually doing anything myself, so will just slap it in garage and see how much they fleece me for

 

Cheers mate

 

Nice

 

Thanks Tony, will try that

If I fix mine I'll give you a fleecing if you like fromage

 

g/fs 106 GTI does this on rare occasions, just turn the music up.

Tis a common problem, although not a major one.


pukka little car

 

my old 106 GTI seemed to suffer from the same intermittent problem

you've made a good choice though - I have a well sorted Impreza right now but STILL miss the natural handling of that little Pug ........

 

Well Picked it up last night at 8pm and could'nt stop driving it, managed to do 200miles lol, Truely awesome handling car and was much faster than I expected when it gets to 4.5krpm it just flys Really loving it, and you have to love a car with 40k miles FPSH and 1 Lady owner

 

Quick question, as a quick solution cant the thing that actually makes the ticking noise just be stopped/disconnected or something ?

 

No, its the thingy which makes your indicators and hazards go on and off. I think they'd stop working altogether if you removed it.

 

ok shall just live with it until the new indicator stalk comes
