Hello all,

Having a few problems with my panda recently, was out and about in it today running fine no problems at all, engine temp was half way up the gauge as always.

Parked up and ran into a shop for some bits came out and it wouldn't start, starter motor turning and pump priming tried a few times no luck, had a look under bonnet nothing obvious sat and waited 20mins or so at the awful thought of waiting on the RAC tried it again and it started fine no problems but the tempter gauge was below half way.

This has happened four times today, it seems to be once the car is up to temp and you turn it off you can't get the car to start again until it's cooled slightly any ideas what's going on?

Thanks

Hi, :)
probably a sensor.., :eek:

but let us know when the spark plugs, and air filter were last changed,
as these can have an effect on fuelling / starting.

:idea: IF it's a basic petrol engine..,

look at how to remove the airfilter - next time it plays-up,
remove the filter - takes less than a minute;) NO TOOLS Required :cool:

and see if it starts better:)

do let us know,;)
