New Member - Need advice on polo vivo

Post by log07bin »

Hi Guys,
I'm from Midrand, and I need to solve a starting problem with my 1.4 polo vivo.
In the morning or on standing for a few hours, it seems to only start after a few swings.
Once the engine is warm it starts on the first swing. I tried pressing the accelerator a few times , then it starts on the second swing.
I don't know if it is the cold start sensor ? I used the software to scan the electronics , but it didn't give much info.
I hope I can get some positive advice.

Thanks Guys,
From a new member,

Not enough info but yes. Water temp sender reading wrong can cause that.
It won't always show as anfault on a scan - you also have to look at the actual valve it is reporting.
