Hi, just wondering has anyone else had this issue or can shed some light on it...
Car is Leon MK2 1.9tdi 2005
When the engine is cold or warming up it starts every time perfect.
However once the car is fully hot I.E. 90'c, when the engine is turned off and back on within a reasonably short period of time (before it cools much) it struggles to fire first time and takes a few seconds of cranking to start.
It starts a bit rough but only briefly. I was told it's something to do with priming the injectors and could be a case of too much/too little fuel once the car is at full temperature. Once it starts it runs perfect but it's shaking the engine quite a bit each time.
Only way to describe it would be similar to taking off with too little throttle and the engine shudders until revs increase...
Could it be a Crank position sensor or similar?
Thanks
