Problem starting the car
Hi everyone. I’ve run into a problem: the car doesn’t start on the first try, but it always starts on the second. This happens at different times but not consistently. Has anyone had this issue? The fuel pressure has been checked, the spark plugs and coils have been replaced, the timing belt has been changed, and the fuel filter as well. I’m thinking of replacing the crankshaft position sensor during the next oil change. This issue is quite common with the 1.2 PureTech, but there doesn’t seem to be a clear solution. Thanks for your help

Hi
Is this something you've been diagnosing yourself, or have garages been looking at it?

Re: Problem starting the car
Have you checked the battery in case it needs charging up.
