Hello there ,

Guys sorry , no much introduction, just registered here Hopping i could get some help...and hopefully i could give some too...we never know .

I live in Finland, drove my Gti mk3 from Ireland to here...crashed and bought a 16v mk3 gti.

All good until...-23 the car started perfect in morning (as usual) but out of work...had to chrank it 20 minutes...nothing...then begin like in 3 cilinders...shut off...again 3 cilinders...and after warm PERFECT...all runs perfect. After cold again No Start. Changed the Spark plugs, the leads, the coil, the rotor, the cup... IT DOES NOT START AT ALL NOW .

as said above start your own thread to get more replies/help
but try your crank sensor common fault and could cause the symptoms your car is showing. Also -23 isn't good for any car lol


Sell my Vw??? I'd rather stick wasps up my arse
