Hello. I have been trying to find answers, but sadly none of them have been the answer my car is looking for. After having had contaminated diesel in my car (water/bottom residue from an old tank), the car suddenly stopped running while driving. The car has not started again since. I flushed...

Hi guys I hope you’re well. I’ve done a lot of reading up on the forum, but can’t seem to find a definitive answer on this, so wondering if anyone could help me diagnose an intermittent issue I’ve been experiencing please. The van starts fine in the morning and 90% of the time during the...

Not sure if this is the correct terminology so apologies. We’ve had our 2017 van for a couple of months now, but noticed on cold starts sometimes the van cranks when you turn the key for up to 5 seconds and then fires up. It ALWAYS fires up, but I would like it to fire up as soon as I turn the...

Hi all, I drove five miles earlier with no problems at all and then when I got back in and turned the key absolutely nothing happened. All the lights are fine on the dash and the battery is good, but I checked with jump leads just in case and still nothing. The starter doesn't even try and...

I am beginning to have issues getting my van to start, normally after I've done a journey and everything is hot. Turning the key it then spins over but dies quite violently (flywheel noise). I also find that I've got some clutch 'judder' when the vans up to normal running temperature. Has anyone...

Greetings everyone I have a yellow EX AA T6 2litre 6 speed manual which ever since it's turned cold has an intermittent starting issue. From cold if I go to crank it, it will just turn over and over sometimes it'll sound like it's trying to start other times it just turns over and over but...
