Starting problems

Oh right.

Just to let you know there is no way they can "flog" you off, if its under warranty it doesn't matter whats wrong with the car, there is a fault and they must fix it. Thats the whole point of  a warranty.

Cheers for the replies mate. If its not all good after the weekend ill b straight back there. Its just too much of an inconvenience to have it off the road for 3 days for them to tell me the plugs need changing or similar.

cheers

Yes thats where the maf sensor is. Not cheap IIRC £70  . As for redex got to be worth a shot for £4 me thinks!! Could also try some shell V power fuel?

Better off with STP or Wynns rather than redex though

Cheers for the response guys. As it happens the passenger window now has problems so booked into garage on thur. Hope i havent aquired a car full of problems.
Their estimation of starting problem is 1 of the 6 sensors. Ill get them to do a plug change when it’s in as iv already bought the service stuff. Ill try to find out what was wrong when I pick it up and update the thread when I find out more.

Thanks again for all your replies

Update:

Car went back to garage yesterday. They replaced the window regulator which cured the window problem. As for the starting from cold they said they plugged their com in and it said all sensors were fine so they stripped down and cleaned throttle body. Started from cold this morn and evrything seemed ok. mayb its cured though im not fully convinced. what yall think?

Just give it time and see how it goes. If its working ok now you never know, might have cured it.
