Hi all,
Couldnt find an answer in the search section. Got a 1991 8v GTi. Starts fine from cold but takes ages to start when engine is warm. It did this on both the old and new engine.
Any ideas??
Thanks
Jon

Starter motor?
mine did a similar thing would start from cold but then the starter motor would seize when hot had to replace it with a new bosch one and never had any issues since :smiley:
-
Leaking injector/injectors?
Could be flooding the engine if they weep or drip..
-
the above sounds unlikely to me it happens on a lot of cars and tends to be start motors wearing out.. not saying the injectors cant leak..
-
Ok thanks guys. Not a huge problem, just seems to take a while to fire when hot. A little dab of the throttle usually helps it?
-
Mine done it all the time! used to get out at petrol stations and whack my starter with my wheel wrench! was a bit embarrassing!
-
Tech- it depends what he means by hard 2 start!! Slow turning starter when hot-yeah fair enuff prob the starter, but if it spins at the same speed but won't start then I'd say its the injectors/fuelling issues..
-
First start with the a new blue coolant temp sensor. Approx £15 from VW.

Yep, mine was the same at the same time as my idle issues started. Would start turn of the key when cold and once warm if I stopped at the shops and went to start it again it was cranking just fine but took ages to start again, when it did cough a bit I had to coax it into life with dabs of throttle. Revs would usually hunt up to about 1500 - 2000rpm when it got running again aswell until being revved or driven through first gear.
Replacing the blue temp sensor for a genuine VAG item did seem to cure the hot start problem, but not the idle issue :sad:

i had a similar problem with my first mk2 if i remember rightly it was a fuel problem too lean
-
no sorry it was my mk2 xr2 but could apply to all motors realy
-
Alec - sounds identical similar to mine.
Think i'll start with the coolant temp sensor. This is the part yeah, http://www.eurocarparts.com/engine-management-sensor ?
I did have issues with the idle, a replacement isv solved that.
Thanks for the advice guys.

Not sure mate no part numbers popped up in that link. I'd go to VW for the part rather than GSF or eurocarparts though. I don't have ETKA anymore so unfortunately I can't dig out the part number for you.
Dealers should still be open now though :wink:
