Hi experts!
This is my first post on here, so apologies if I break any of the unwritten rules, or make any newbie faux pas.
I am in the process of removing the engine for a complete overhaul of my 2 litre bug (2000 X-plate), but I cannot disable the anti-theft system. I’ve looked everywhere for the fuse box and relay diagrams, and none of the images I can find quite match what I’m seeing in my car.
In all of the information I have seen so far, it suggests that on the top of the relay box in position H or J there should be the relays for the anti theft...but there is nothing in those positions at all. In fact, the 4 relay positions at the top seem to be labelled A through D, instead of F through J.
I have removed a number of other relays but still the alarm goes off all the time. I don’t think any of the fuses in the side panel will help, but I’m starting to lose confidence that I can solve this...so please help!
I will even consider cutting a fewchosen wires if I have to...but i just need to disable the alarm so I can continue with my engine overhaul, without waking the whole street!
thanks!
