Title: Problem with Starting car
Post by: funk3y on 27 July 2012, 20:12

Ok guys,

I have a problem, Over the last couple days after a journey I park up do what I have to do go back to car then It wont start.  There is no ticking over nothing, battery light and EPC light comes on.  I turn off take the key out try a few more times and after 4 trys or so It will start as usual  The car drives great so I have no idea :huh:  Any suggestions?  This dosent happen everytime I restart the car.  Maybe once or twice a day over last couple days.

This is a golf mk4 1.8t btw.
