Can anyone help..... My Toldedo 2004 Sport just decided with no warning to stop at a roundabout during rush hour, no warning, no lights, no spluttering just stopped and cut out.... Now it wont turn over, no warning lights and have checked the oil and things and they all seem fine. Any Ideas...

Hi everyone! I have a Cordoba, '97, 1.7 SDI. My problems started when my oil heaters (the ones placed in the cylinders that are used for heating up the oil when starting the engine) burned out. So I bought new ones and replaced them. But my car still wouldn't start. So after some checking I...

Hi all, around november time, we had snow, and my car sat all weekend, and on the monday when I went to leave for work it was around -2 degrees, and my car (1.2) really struggled to start. It started, hit a 1000Rpm then instantly died. It turned over ok, but i ended up having to slowly pump...

cold start problem I've often joked that I need to say "please" to get my car to start but lately the problem is getting much worse! the car had been sat since sunday (and snowed on 3 times) and I came to fire it up this afternoon and there was just no hint of life when turning it over. I took...

Hi folks. Any clues to a mystery fault please. Arosa TDi AMF engine 86k miles. On start up if engine cranked & fired, revs seem to bounce at about 2000 rpm for 3 or 4 seconds before settling down to idle (almost sounds like engine is hitting an imaginary rev limiter at 2000 rpm). Over last few...

Hi Everyone. It's been a while since i came on here i have been very busy building a property portfolio in this wonderful housing market. I was driving about earlier and came off a round about and floored it which then lead to a loud hissing noise which was my turbo hose splitting which...

I have had a problem with my TDI arosa now for nearly 2 months. When driving along at a steady speed it will hesitat very badly then carry on, it does it when hot or cold but first started when low on diesel. I have changed the fuel filter and air filter. Over Christmas it refused to start so i...
