no codes displayed car will not start

COILPACK???

I had this on 2 golf's in the past. Usually about £50-60 from GSF

Aparently a very common VAG fault. take 5 mins to change on a Golf GTI so would image it wouldn't be too hard to do

i had same problem! same symptons turning over ok but wouldnt allways start thought it was imobiliser.....
turned out to be the battery wasnt holding a good charge...after a long run would start ok for a few days then failed to start (but still enough power to spin engine for 7-8attempts).

worth a try most place's check em for free under heavy loads, cost me £45 for a new one and starts first time every time now!

Hi guys, i have a a3 1.8t on an r plate (AGU engine code)

My car has recentley had problems starting (only in the morning when its cold - soon as its been running for a bit its fine).

I have noticed that when i turn my ignition on before starting there is a strange buzzing coming from what seems to be my TB? - not too sure on exact position though as it was dark this morning when i checked.

This is usually what happens when i go to start her,

First attempt - usually just a click (no turn at all)

2nd attempt - maybe 1 or 2 turns

- this usually progresses until finally it starts after 5 or 6 attempts.

It also will only start once this electrical buzz has stopped.

Could this be a relay fault? would prob make sense to me if it was.

Any help would be much apriciated!!

The throttle body should buzz but it may need removing, cleaning and readapting to the ECU. I think a fault code read and throttle body clean by a garage that knows how to do this will show what is causing the staring problem.
