1.8 16V turns over but won't start; no history of problems

Recommended Posts

So the answer was... the Hall sensor! Garage replaced that and it's running fine now, picked it up this morning \o/

 

However, following the rule that for every thing I fix on this car two more break, the passenger side window now won't open (relays click in response to switches, and you can feel the motor "twitch" (had the door card off) but it's not going anywhere) and the temp gauge is reading quite high, although that's the sensor I replaced the other week so it could be that it's not quite the right one. Engine doesn't "smell" hot, oil was about 106 while sprinting up the M1, and the fan is starting up at what the dash says is 110.

 

Just glad to have it back and running for now anyway, thanks everyone for your help in the thread :)
