#1: 138 GTI Starting Issue - Any Ideas? Author: crocdino, Location: LeedsPosted: Mon Feb 04, 2013 10:57 am ---- Never had a problem in over 3 years, had a new battery a year or so ago.
My OH just rang leaving work and it wouldn't start.
Key turns, ignition came on, lights and radio work etc etc.. but then wouldn't turn over. Didn't even try, just nothing.
Took key out.. tried again and it started straight off.
Nothing flashed up on the display, either. 53 reg facelift. Any ideas?

I've got a 2005 GTi, started to notice that its taking a little longer to start up from a cold start..
Whenever I start the car, I usually turn the key to 'ignition ON ' let the fuel pump prime for 5 secs than fire her up.
But even with that its struggling now.
Could me coil packs or battery be on the way out?

#8: Re: 138 GTI Starting Issue - Any Ideas? Author: crocdino, Location: LeedsPosted: Sun Feb 24, 2013 1:37 pm ---- I've still not had this starting problem happen again - forgotten about it now.
Is it struggling to turn over? - Battery?
Or is it struggling to catch? - Fuel pressure? etc
Someone with a bit more general knowledge should be able to help.
