Mk3 Golf 16v GTI not starting
« on: 25 January 2009, 15:08 »
Hello,

My friend has a bit of a problem with his MK3.

He drove over to my house okay earlier and his car started fine apart from 1 stutter, but it drove ok.

Now it won't start at all. It turns over ok, oil level is fine, however it has thrown up 2 fault codes.

First one is about a knock sensor on cylinder 1, and the other is "Cylinder 1 CKP Sensor".

Any ideas?

Cheers
