Lorn 0 Posted August 3, 2008 Guys, Can any of you help me please? Got a 1.6 GTI on the G plate and she doesnt like starting from warm. It takes a while for her to get going. Any suggestions. Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,657 Posted August 3, 2008 what kinda MPG are you getting and is it ok once started? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lorn 0 Posted August 3, 2008 Not sure about the MPG but once she is started she is fine, its just getting her started Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
28CRAIG 2 Posted August 3, 2008 Its about normal mpg i suggested the coolant temp sensor but that would normally mean running rich, did she get home on that half a tank babe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lorn 0 Posted August 3, 2008 She was down to 1/4 of a tank but a heavy right foot did come into play at some points. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KRISKARRERA 2 1 Cars Posted August 4, 2008 Does it restart quickly if you last ran the engine say 15 minutes ago? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alync406 4 Posted August 4, 2008 I had problems with mine starting when warm a while back and it was the ignition amp. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mercury 0 Posted August 6, 2008 i have the same problem. Sometimes i would turn it of wait a few mins - maybe 15mins then when i try to start it she doesnt turn over. The starter motor is strong. and what is an ignition amp and are they expensive? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KRISKARRERA 2 1 Cars Posted August 6, 2008 Check the injectors aren't leaking. Mine were, so I changed the injectors and now she starts instantly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lorn 0 Posted August 6, 2008 Just got a rough guess from my parts managers at about £80/90!! I wasnt expecting it to be that much!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
