This started yesterday.
I left work and drove the 10 miles to pick up my lad from school. The car was OK, no problems at all. Tried to start the car outside the school and all I'm getting is the engine turning over and not catching.
Bollox, me thinks. 'C'mon we're walking' I says to howls of terror as I make my lad walk all of 300 yards.
I get home and call the AA who say they'll be there in half an hour. I get back to the car and try it again. Fecking thing starts first time. Cancel the AA very quickly. I took the car out later that night and it was OK.
Same thing happened today at my second home the Shell Garage. I stopped off on my way home, tanks up and tries to start the car. The same as yesterday happened - turning over but not catching.
I sat there for 10 minutes trying not to look like a tit while the fecker just turned over and over and over. Just about to call the AA again and it bursts into life. Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh.
So,
Has anybody had this problem? What was it and how did you fix it.
It may be heat related and I've had some guesses at fuel pump relay or crank sensor maybe?
I'm taking my VCDS lead with me from now on as no fault was found on the scan.
Will a fault show if I plug in VCDS when it happens and what am I looking for? Measuring blocks or something?
I'm a Vagcom novice so I'll need VCDS for idiots instructions please.
As always, your help is appreciated
