The first time ever I have broken down! Normal day went off to get some shopping 1 mile to the shops from me get in car fires straight up no problems. Grab a few things when I come back to the car, I can't for the life of me start the thing! It was almost begging to be started, it fires and just would not turn over, so many times it was close. I tried for nearly
30 mins while giving it a break in between.So I conceed defeat and call my breakdown who came in 55 mins. Was a bit embarrasing really in a packed supermarket in our local. But anyway guy gets here asks me to turn it over and says "hmmm" "again" then says it sounds like fuel starvation...
so he disappears to his van for 3 mins and comes back with a spray can with "cold start" written on it. Takes my enginer cover partly off to get access to my throttle body, sprays some of it down it while asking me to try and start it while giving it a bit of gas, the car fires into life, how amazed and relieved I was as I had soooo many things to do (family day) amazing how friggin angry the kids were as we was late to their zillion an one stops, somedays I feel like a taxi lol whos doesn't get paid hehe
Anyway so yeah basically he only had a quick look, and said it could be fuel returning back down te valves or an air leak and needs investigating properly by a garage.
Any advice welcomed on what I can start doing to find the source of the problem or general advice of this type of problem.
MK4 golf 1.6 16v 2001 65k just serviced, erm... has a fault on the passenger side door lock module where the door pin pops up. Thats about all I can think of worth mentioning.
