16v Warm Start issues

Recommended Posts

Hia all

 

I'm having the same problem with both my corrados, They've been of the road for a few years each, one more than the other. I regularly fire them up as you do. But sometimes when I start them up again after they've been running, they wont start again.

 

Could it be fuel related as neither of them get a proper drive or a lot of petrol put in at a time, my silver rado which has been off the road for many years does fire up easily and whilst repairing a fuel leak underneath near the pump, I've changed the filter. If they were used regularly and have plenty of new fuel in would this fix this issue?

 

My blue valver, I'm unsure about the filter, I dont recall changing it, but its the same problem doesnt go anywhere, just have it idle in the garage with minimum fuel in.

 

Would anything else be something to check? Isv? what stops a hot car starting

 

cheers all

 

PS

 

Satin Valver is going in for Full Respray monday, bought some very shiny wheels to so I could be back in a rado ~V Soon! hopefully this issue is a easy fix

 

​Thanks

Posted this for VR6 but will apply to 4 cylinder too think

 

Mine would'nt start sometimes when hot, give 15 to 20 mins and was fine, someone suggested fuel relay and as nobody had in stock local swapped for fuel relay in my wifes 1.2 Seat Ibiza, exactly same part number (relay 63 from memory) and been fine since. (Listen for fuel pump priming when hot if won't start if is'nt good chance it's relay and only a few quid, so worth swapping)

Got new one since but until read this forgot to swap my wifes back and put new one in, but my wifes Seat never had a problem with my VR6 dodgy one in, maybe because the Seat never gets as hot and does'nt overheat it.
