TU3 1.4 starting troubles....

Recommended Posts

03hawkinst

I’ve just bought a 1.4 GR and it has the TU3-K1G engine.

 

When I test drove and collected the car it started on the first turn of the key but now it takes a bit of cranking to get started. (After a good 60mile drive home on the M1) 

 

Once it’s started if you turn it off and then start it again it fires up straight away.

 

What do people think it could be?

 

Different choke amounts doesn’t seem to have any effect so all I can think is that it’s a fuel issue?

 

Is there any common problems on this engine that spring to mind?

 

Cheers Tom

Probably fuel issue .. carburettor cleaning along with new gaskets is what i would try .
