Cold Start Problem

Postby Jparkinson744 » Mon Oct 28, 2019 8:10 am

Hi Guys

New to the forum but I have a problem that is baffling me. Bought the 1.6 Dynamique Petrol in March with 65k on the clock. Within a month of having the car I got a roller coaster type clicking noise on startup and the car would cut out - as it was in warranty I took the car back and got a new dephaser pulley system, timing belt and water pump on the car. All seemed well and it worked fine then until this past week.

The noise seems to have returned. The car will fire up, the clicking noise will kick in and then the car cuts out. Second time it either kicks in fine or I have to just rev the car and then all is fine. It only seems to be common when it is cold outside (1 degree this morning).

Is this a common problem that people know a solution for? I arent car savy so any work that needs doing will involve me taking it to a garage - I just like to sound clued up so I dont get ripped off.

Cheers
