VR6 starting problem
Discussion
Hello,
Quick question for you VR6 owners or folk in the know.
Sometimes the car will start on the first turn and catch in a second, other times you will need to keep the key turned, the strater will run and it may take 3 or 4 seconds to ctach and will gradually burst into life, almost a hesitation upon starting.
What is the likely problem?
I was thinking spark plugs as maybe a spark wasn't that forthcoming but then also thought it could be a fuelling issue?
Many Thanks

when it isnt starting is the engine still turning over at a normal speed. sometimes slow cranking like having a slightly flat battery can be caused by the earth from the battery to the gearbox and the wire from the battery to the starter degrading.
if it turns at normal speed but takes a little longer to catch try the cold start valve/extra injector or even leaky injector seals.
Does it make any difference of you are parked at a angle? i once had issues with my golf an it was the fuel accumilator playing up but it was only noticable if i parked facing up a hill.
