Hesitation when starting
« on: March 12, 2015, 05:12:03 pm »
Right so I have owned my eddie since mid January and within the first week or so I noticed it was sort of hesitating when starting like the battery was on its way out. So I bought a new battery, but soon realised it was still the same, I have left it for a weeks but think I should find out what it is.
Sometimes it is worse than other times, it sounds like it isn't going to start sometimes then sort of kicks in and fires up. The cam follower has been changed also the Dv and the pcv is fine.
Any help would be great thanks.

Massive thread on this somewhere mate. Loads of our cars are similar. I've changed battery and plugs it's not much better.

Check engine oil level? Try topup (if below max) and compare the difference?

Seems a very common problem, exactly that it coughs into life. Doesn't do it if it was started not long ago

Just another perk of mk5 ownership to match all the rust.
