#1: Car struggling to start (New development) Author: Martynmofo, Location: York!Posted: Tue Mar 08, 2011 3:54 pm ---- hey info'ers!
Iv noticed that when i start the gti its struggling a little and judders a little, but when i drive around its perfectly fine! its only just started today aswell!
any ideas anyone?
got a few ideas.. could be something to do with the ignition, or maybe the battery?
11th of march 2011
it seems as though my car is wanting to start properly now, so im guessing its not the battery as my dad said it could be something like the fuel filter!
all is well now anyway! Last edited by Martynmofo on Sat Mar 12, 2011 5:44 pm; edited 1 time in total

maybe just a good service will do it some good?

ill check the battery first.. if its not that then god knows!

Dont go to halfords unless you have a trade card.
Try and get a Varta one
