TROUBLE STARTING
TROUBLE STARTING
sometimes my polo doesnt want to start, keeps trying to turn over but not actually firing up. I have changed the plugs i think it may be the fuel filter but wanted to check if any of you guys have any ideas

yep same with me, £10 squid for the fiddly thing - and a £90 bill for 2 hours labour fitting it inSi_GTi wrote:Ignition switch failed on mine. Caused intermittent startup problems where I'd turn the key and 'nout would happen, just silence, it wasn't even trying to start, no noise at all. Then 10 minutes later if I tried it again it would start!

Mine has been playing up a bit aswell
Occassionally the key will only turn so far as to turn the electrical instruments on but wont actually turn all the way round to start the car!?!
I took it to a garage where the mechanic seemed stumped by the problem.
He mentioned about the ignition switch being prone to fail but he said if your car won't start, turn the key and give it a wiggle at the same time if this fixes the problem then it is definitely a faulty switch.

Mine plays up too. Sometimes is starts 1st time, sometimes i need to try twice but one in every 20 try it wont start. It fires up but doesnt start. Changed the plugs, so thats not it. Gonna change the HT leads when i've got some spare cash. But if anyone has any other ideas, let me know.
It drives me insane!
