Hi guys
sorry to start my first post with a 'help'
but I've got the 2.0 5pot injection engine and up till last nigth it was running well..
came out of work, turned the key, fired up as normal, idled for a minute then as i set off it died and WOULD NOT restart
it just turned and turned...
left for a minute and it would fire, turn over and die..
after about 3/4 hour of the same thing it eventually fired up and idled, i let it idle for a couple ofminutes, then it drove the 20 mile shome without an issue..
I had the same thing this morning - started first turn, ran for a short while, so went to set off, just as pulling off the driveway, it died again, then would not restart - i had the same issues as last night, - wleave for 30sec and it would fire up, then die...
I didnt have time to keep doing this this morning so jumped in the TDI and drove to work...
I've only had the car a week and its my first venture into the world of the VW Audi 5 pot Injections...
any help before i get really anoyed will be appreciated, the car isnt an audi tho.. please dont boo me, its the VW santana and there isnt anywhere dedicated to them, and as its the same engine I'm appealing to you guys for help
thanks
Steve
