Fabia - intermittent starting issue
Discussion
Fabia 1.2 2006 Mk1
Wife told me it "wouldn't always start first time".
I checked it out and it Wouldn't always start without using some throttle.
I gently cleaned the dirty throttle body in situ, with carb cleaner, with the accelerator pressed to open it.
No longer needed throttle to start, all good.
1 week later my wife told me that it "wouldn't always starting first time". This time it appears to be intermittently not turning over at all when turning the key to start. A few attempts and will turn over and start fine.
The battery is fine.
Any ideas?
Thanks
