#1: 180 occasional non start Author: iancav6, Location: rugbyPosted: Sat Jul 09, 2016 8:39 pm ---- 2004 180GTI 88k miles.
Occasionally,mostly when up to temp,go to restart it and although cranks over fine it refuses to start.Back the key off and try again and 9 times out of 10 it will fire up instantly.Today however it took 3 attempts more to start.
Once fired up it runs normally.No ecu light comes on,have checked for fault codes and nothing comes up.
Plugs are fairly new,air filter is fine.
