Solenoid
or that's what they used to call them. Probably been changed to some fancy name by now so that they can bump up the price

Get the codes read as a failing crank sensor will make a car not start when hot
#6: Re: when engine's hot..car wont start Author: rlees85, Location: DaventryPosted: Sat Dec 07, 2013 7:22 am ---- I agree with crank sensor if the engine is turning... happens in a lot of cars
#7: Re: when engine's hot..car wont start Author: kandlbarrett, Location: SwindonPosted: Sat Dec 07, 2013 3:19 pm ---- I would also have a punt at crank sensor but that should be stored as a fault code.
#8: Re: when engine's hot..car wont start Author: Timon2210, Location: PalestinePosted: Sun Dec 08, 2013 1:15 pm ---- Well I'm sure it's the starter motor,or starter motor solenoid as Macca said,we will wait and see ;),as if it's a crank sensor,it will not start at all.,and about temp sensor,it's not for the 1.4,that only effects the GTi 180,time will tell,I mean when he reply back :D.
#9: Re: when engine's hot..car wont start Author: DREWDEN, Location: huddersfieldPosted: Sun Dec 08, 2013 2:42 pm ---- All he has to do is park on a slant, switch off hot engine, if it does not start, bump start the car, if it starts then its the starter motor, if it does not start something else.
#10: Re: when engine's hot..car wont start Author: Leegsi, Location: Near PortsmouthPosted: Sun Dec 08, 2013 3:49 pm ---- A failing crank sensor will start when its cold but when heat soak sets in it fails.
Trust me it can happen and does happen.
I had it happen to me on a Fiat.
If it is the crank sensor it would have logged a fault code so rather than guessing get the codes read first.

Temp sensor is relevant in nearly all French FI engines....do your homework
#12: Re: when engine's hot..car wont start Author: kandlbarrett, Location: SwindonPosted: Sun Dec 08, 2013 5:24 pm ---- Love DREWDEN's idea about parking on a slope. Try to start with the key when the engine is hot; if it doesn't start on the key but will bump start then probably not crank sensor.
Leegsi is also correct that crank sensors can fail when hot but be fine when cooled down. It is very, prevalent on motor bikes but also happens on plenty of cars.
