My MK1 Punto diesel is great and it jumps into life first-time every time, when I turn the key, after the glowplug light goes out it comes to life.
Yesterday...My Punto SX TD failed to start! The glowplug light comes on..I wait...it goes out, I turn the key and nothing! No sounds..... just nothing!!!!
I took out the battery and put it on a chager (3amps) over night. The battery is 2 years old and took some extra charge. Put it back in and as above....The glowplug light goes out, I turn the key and nothing again!
Do I just need a new battery (and if so do I need a Cheiftan tank one) or could it be the starter motor or useless glowplugs, etc?
Any sugestions or advice welcome
Regards
Arty
