Cold start
« on: 14 November 2012, 08:02 »
Brrrr! its cold this morning. And as usual the car is really struggling to start.
It's the dreaded 2.0 8v!!!!! *(no nasty comments pls, cos he's not getting scrapped for a tubby)*
Is there a cold start sensor or anything i can replace? if anyone can help a lady out? :tongue:

could be a temperature sensor issue, but get your battery checked first the cold weather can finish off a weak battery!
