Title: Starting issues, advice please.
Post by: Alan16ac on 09 January 2012, 22:52

Got a Golf GTI, the other morning it wouldn't start for about 5 minutes, then bam try it again and it's started and running fine.
Next few days was fine, this morning it wouldn't start so it was put on an OBD reader, and it showed RPM Sensor/Crank Sensor, they reset the code a few times, but no look. Left it for a bit then bam it started again.
Since then I've been to the petrol station, it started again there, then to work, it started then to the takeaway, and it started.
Just went to start it now and it won't!

Does this sound like it could be the crank sensor?
If so how much is it going to cost me?
