I seem to remember seeing something about this somewhere else on the forum
anyhooo
MK1 172, no probs starting it each morning, in fact no noticeable probs at all except the downpipe knocking...
drove to work...left car in car park at 8:30 this morning
went to car at 1:00 to take a friend out for a drive.... it started but a bit hesitantly....and at this point in the day it was pretty bloody hot.
had a quick blast around the local area, came back, left car in carpark again, by this time it was 2:00pm
later in the afternoon, sometime after 3:00 i went out again in the car and to be honest, didnt notice if it started ok or not.. i guess it did... drove literally a few miles down the road... stopped, drove back and left car in the car park again...about 4:00 / 4:30 by this time...
come 5:30 i was out the door at work (obviously!!!) and this time, the car didnt start at all on the first turn of the key... second turn, it came to life and was fine after that...
now im wondering, it this something to do with a. the heat, b. the journeys and time period between them
or is this to be expected ??
sorry for the long winded description, just trying to paint a picture of what happened...
