Title: Car doesnt like starting
Post by: gti265 on May 23, 2011, 04:05:10 pm

Hello all my car Seams like it doesnt want to start, i no this is a problem with golfs but mine seems to be getting worse, and it sounds like a lorry on tickover

Is there anything i can do/try to make it start easier or sound smoother

Its had the cam belt done around 5000 miles ago is run on tesco 99 and has castrol edge 5w 30 oil

Thanks
Tom
