(G) cold starting problem 06 punto

When car is left overnight in garage it will not start unless accelerator is pressed on cranking. Still under warranty but it's a bind to take to dealer? Any suggestions?

Take it to dealer for recall which comprises of ECU software update.Takes 10minutes so grab a coffee while you wait

p.s.You might well get a letter through telling you of this recall in the near future.

Dealer updated ECU today.Will see how it starts tomorrow.

Yup. The ECU update has solved the problem. Many thanks for your advice.

So the brand new ones are having problems already.,.,did they give ya any kind of warranty extention or anything?
you wouldnt mind in an old car but to have ECU problems in an 06, kinda makes you wonder what other kind of problems you could have in the future.,.,
dont mean to jinx you or anything.,., hope it goes well for ya!..,,,.,

You ppl don't use your accelerator when u start ur cars?

no,., i never do, a car shouldnt need to be revved to get it to start,. thats what auto choke is for,.,.

I was taught to press a little on the gas when ya start up....then again...I DID learn in a rather old diesel :P

No,no gas....this software update only applies to very late (made in last 10-12months) mk2 puntos not the grande's.

jesus you would have been mad to have bought a mk2 in 2006!!
imagine the depreciation on that??

Imagine the deals you can get . I seen one go for £5150! with 10miles on the clock!.
