I have a recurring problem with starting the engine. Somtimes it will turn over straight away and on other occasions it takes quite a few attempts. The starter motor has been changed as this happened with the old one, Is this an ignition switch problem or am i looking in the wrong place? Any tips would save me alot of head scratching as i am already going bald and don't want to lose more hair. Cheers.
Run diagnostics on it mate, get yourself a copy of vagcom, check its not throwing a wobbly with sensors. Likely one would be crank sensor, friends valver hada recent episode with one of those
Basically if your car is of the correct age with a diagnostic port, you can use some software on your pc along with a serial/usb to diagnostic port lead to talk to the ECU and read off any fault codes its experiencing. Phew
Will definately have a go at that, Mine is a '93 L reg so hopefully it will work. Cheers for the help.
