Golf GTD Mk7 - intermittent non starting
Discussion
My GTD has developed an intermittent issue where it won’t start.
The car had been on a long motorway drive today, then was parked for a couple of hours. The car has keyless ignition, and wasn’t cranking at all when pressing the Start / Stop button. Nothing happening at all.
After about 15 minutes, it started fine and then drove perfectly for another couple of hours. But something similar happened a few days ago, which I’d ignored as it resolved quickly.
A quick Carista scan shows some error codes, but these don’t seem immediately relevant and are 1-3 months old:
- 66052 - Vehicle Communication Bus E:Performance
- 1048835 - function restriction through engine control module
- 204546 - Remote control key 2: Voltage too low
I replaced the key fob battery recently, so that was taken care of at the time.
Unfortunately my Dad is terminally ill in hospital and it’s not good timing as I am relying on this car! Any advice gratefully received.
