Technical Engine won't start with cold start.

Hi There.

My mom has a Panda but she has some issues with it.
Took it to de dealer several times but they still haven't solve the problem.

It's a 1.2 automatic 2004.

ECU reading said temperature sensor wasn't oke and the dealer should have replaced it (they say)

The engine light comes on with the start problems and sometimes it goes of after a while.

After a few times starting it fires up and most of the day it's oké


I checked the ground wire to frame and motor but it looks oke to me.
No high voltage drops while starting and voltage measured over the ground cable.

They changed the battry first but I think it hasn't any to do with this.

Also she has some gearbox issues.
Sometimes it doesn't change gears automaticly but in semi manual it works fine.


Can't find the temperature sensor. Probably in the cylinderhead under the fuelrail/intake but can't see it.

Maybe other things to check.

Or just full throttle for a while :slayer:

Also read something about new ECU software you could update for cold start issues.
