Picked up me car last night drove great all the way home (120 miles) until the last set of traffic lights that are on a slight hill near my house i
Stalled the bloody thing wouldnt restart DOH.
The guy said when i bought it because its a turbo you have to press the throttle a few times before starting is this right (something about having a 5th injector )
I had the Bora 2.0 sport which started 1st flick of the key every morning had the usaual problems with failed maf and temp sens which i had changed.
But the new car baffles me as to why you need to pump the throttle before starting any one got any ideas also the random stall maybe new car syndrome ie clutch postion ?
although i think i must of flooded the car trying to get it to restart 5 mins later hey presto bit ruff for a few 10 seconds then all fine drove the remaining 600 yards

Guy that sold it to you is talking out his arse :wink:
Absolutely no need to press the throttle, 5th injector!! Best I've heard yet... He's sold you a duff car and making up rubbish to get you off his back..
Get it scanned, but I would start by checking all the boost pipes and vacuum pipes.
-
What a D1ck he is that sold you that....5th injector....bahahaha.
Try cleaning throttle body and a fault code scan fr basics. Check piping too, but i reckon that would cause bigger issues than a hot start issue,

Good service. :wink:

BET ITS A AUM . :grin: should of got a agu. :wink:

Pressing the throttle a few times would flood the engine wouldn't it I had the same problem when I first bought my car but engine seized so never got to find out what the cause was sorry mate :angry: :grin:
-
Nah it wouldnt flood it. Its not a carberettour (sp?) engine.... Pressing the throttle wont do a thing when you have the ignition on. ONly when you crank the engine do the injectors squirt fuel.
-
Ah ryt ok only I was told to do a similar sort of thing it never worked and it stunk of petrol after was waiting a gd 45 mins the one night and it just wouldn't start then all of the sudden one turn and fired bloody cars lol
-
99% of the time I'm not in my car when I start it, I just lean in, turn key and done, Do what I gotta then get in and away...
That seller sounds like a right Del Boy!!!! get it scanned fella and get back to him with results (if any)
-
Funny that. I'm the complete opposite. 99 per cent of the time I am in my car when I start it. :grin: :grin:

Even an injected engine can be flooded, but it's very rare.

I always start mine, fold the mirrors out, check nothing has gone missing overnight then get it. :smiley:

we should do a poll. :wink:

Ok had it scanned today loads of codes but they said they could be old and also linked with other faults
we had Maf, temp sensor o2 something like altitude or on those lines he has cleared codes installed a new temp sensor cleaned the maf and cleaned Throttle Body.
also noticed the thermostat was stuck as a pipe was cold
best news £12 parts £20 Labour top Bloke.
so after theses the car now starts up from cold as you would with any car it dont stall but ticks over low around 750 then when warm its ticks over at around 1100 a bit high.
bloke told me to run car for a few days to see if it settles down then he will rescan and go from there if any .
also car needs two new pipe connectors as these are leaking coolant i will post a pic of the main one so you can see how boodge up it is
