Engine shutting off while driving/not starting
Posted: Thu Jul 25, 2019 2:32 pm
Hi im new to group.
Problem with my 1.6 16v gti. Some mornings i turn key to start but just cranks. i find that leaving the key in on position for 5-15 mins will help it start up
Problem got worse while driving. coming to a stop or taking off the car will just shut off. Sometimes it doesn’t start right away and it just cranks.
Only happens in the first 5 minutes of driving then it will be fine the rest of the day. There are no lights coming up.
Does anyone know what the problem is and how i can fix these issues please?
