I've been having problems for ages with my car either not starting for a couple of tries, or just dieing when I put the clutch down at lights or something. But then once it's warmed up the problems generally fixes itself, although not always.
But in the last couple of days it's now twice not started or died with awkward consequences....e.g. the police having to temporarily close a roundabout to rescue me
so I've got to try and sort it out rather soonish.
So going by previous posts on stuff like this, I'm guessing a problem with the engine coolant temperature sensor.... but I don't actually know where it is on my engine. When I looked in Haynes the last time it didn't give any clue to where it is, so :S
It's a Mk1 Ph3 1998 1.2.... can anyone give me a hint
I'd rather try to fix it this way before I blow my money on a garage
THANK YOU!!!!
