Hi all,
Over the past week or so, I've been having a bit of an issue with my 1.2 (Euro 5) Panda.
Each and every morning, the car struggles to start. It eventually coughs and splutters into life and sounds as though it's only running on 2 cylinders.
But here's the odd bit: If I turn the ignition off, and then try to start the car again, it starts perfectly. Just never on the first try. For the rest of the day however, the car is fine. It starts, idles and runs like normal.
Letting the fuel pump 'prime' before turning the engine over doesn't seem to make any difference.
As the car's still under warranty, it's currently in at the dealer but they seem to be at a bit of a loss as to what the issue may be. They've already performed a software update (as mentioned in a previous thread) however the issue still occurs.
Here's a short video to demonstrate the problem:
Does anyone have any suggestions or pointers to what the issue may be?
Thanks in advance.
