[Mk2] [Turbo] Rev4 Turbo won't start when its sunny...

No joke... What could be causing this?

The car turns over runs for about a second and cuts out.

When the sun is in, no problem, starts fine and runs fine...

Battery is new.

Could it be a relay or something that's on its way out?

Thanks,

Will

Re: Rev4 Turbo wont start

No alarm & no error codes!

I had this problem the other day, then suddenly it was totally fine again.
But back to not starting now!

Rev4 Turbo wont start

It turns over and runs for about 2 seconds then cuts out.

Fuses all OK, all ignition components are fairly new.

Any ideas?
Thanks,

Will

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Mobil Super S 10W-40

Ask two different people... get two different opinions.

I have been using it for a few years!

Only do about 2000 miles a year and it gets changed annually.

Re: Not running well when started

My Rev4 Turbo is running rough for the first minute upon startup, struggling to tick over.

The plugs, cap, arm /HT leads are all about 2 years old.

Done about 5000 miles since they were replaced.

Could dirty plugs cause this?

It runs fine once up too temp.

Re: Rev 2 Tubby v Golf MK5 R32 DSG

That's quite cheap. My PDK 'box is a £15K replacement if it goes wrong. :pale: This is why if I could ever afford a Porsche turbo S or a e46 m3 I wouldnt go for their fancy gearbox even though I would really want to lol If you had £85k for a TurboS (PDK) you would have enough money for an OPC warra...
