Strange Problem - Can anyone help ?

[Newstarter]

Before i go to a garage and have them look at it. Can anyone help with the following.

I have a 52 plate Leon (180Bhp) Cupra.

This has happened twice now on very hot days (like yesterday) my car has been left in the work car park as usual. I come out and try to start it. The car turns over and starts for a second then dies. It then takes about 5 attempts to get the car started and it then is fine. The only light i get is the passenger air bag light.

The car once started is fine and runs ok. This has only happen twice on very hot and sunny days

Can anyone help ?

Thanks

Mike

Possibly a problem with the immobiliser?

I.E. the car not recognising the chip in the key first time?

If this was the case would it not would happen more than twice ?

Also the two occasions that it has happened are almost a year apart !!

Thanks
