Help starting problem just before gti Inters!

[Chris Langdon 0]

I have a hot start problem, as its ok when cold but when hot takes ages to start especially if i dont give it any throttle and it has been getting worse. Tonight tryed firing it up and will not start (cranks over but dont fire up) and ive just recently replaced the fuel filter, any idea what it could be i would be most grateful!!!!

if its a VR it sounds like the temp sensor is kaputt

yeah it is a vr and done'nt fire up at all now cold or hot didnt know if it was a fuel problem, ie pump injectors.

there's 2 temp sensors btw........one for the ECU and the other for the gauge..........best get it checked on VAG-COM to see which one you've to replace(tho the guage one won't have any effect on starting)

Also worth changing (or reseating / cleaning if you can) the 2 critical relays - Fuel Pump and ECU

Right story so far ive checked the temp sensor to ECU the fuel relay, and i was speaking to crasher at the weekend and he and acouple of others said to change ignition switch, still nothing, so could it be the coil pack???? go to have to get it scanned, any ideas please drop me a line
