DIET engine not starting after being run

[u33db]

Small (PMSL) problem ive got with my 1.2 DIET engine which id appreciate any help on;

basically the car will fail to start for at least 5-10mins after having been run yet starts bang on if left for an extended period of time (i.e overnight/all day)

any thought what this could be?

Cheers!

1 - under the bonnet in your plastic fuse box there are 2 relays for your fuel pump - when the car has been stood for 5 minutes just check these relays when you are trying to start the car - if one of them gets really hot its this thats causing the fault - change it and the problem will stop

2 - change your TDC sensor

Excellent - ill see to that later.

Any ideas how much a TDC sensor is to buy new/a part number?

Many thanks!

Mine was the starter motor.

It was turning at an angle so using a lot of power - does the starter turn? Mine worked if being jumped, because it was given that bit more power to turn..

Made a clunk noise when it started too, but was all the same problem.

your chassis start VF1357K ? I need the rest of it to tell you the part number and retail price of a tdc sensor

Daz - yeah, starter turns over, as does the engine.

j3ned - ill check when i get home later about the chassis number (at work right now) and PM you if i may...

ta!
