My car refuse to start every time I park it under the heat of the sun, or if the weather is very hot. I don't have the problem at winter at all, even if I drive a very long distance I switch off and on it works normaly. I checked the car every were and every one said the same thing, there is no problem in your car. please help me.
Petrol engine? 1.4 is 1994 introduced
is car really 2009 we get posters posting wrong year all the time.
not sure me 1.4L, exact name.by VW. 1.4 L TSI I4??? PETROL
that is because they can't fix when it works great.
the do the impossible and get paid that is why thye do it.ching ching.
gee all they can do is guess if the scan tool shows NO DTC stored.
to find this is easy if you learn how.
first off what does refuse start mean.?
cranks fast no start
or starter goes dead. zero cranking silent starter motor and silent starter relay too. ?
if cranks ok but will not start try 5% throttle foot, or if still no start
try 100% WOT wide open starts. to clear flooding,
and( these are all dead engine tests)\
at no start is cluster lamps dead too?
at no start are head lamps dim or dead.?
now start has 50 cause that no tech can guess.
we must find it dead to fix it. see ? doing lots of tests. using tools.
so when dead, let me guess starter works fast and robustly
even open hood see crank pulley spin, so does really crank the crank shaft, end) 2n man./test (or you and a monkey? me)
NEXT:
then check for spark now, on all 4 spark plugs not just one.
if have 4 cop coils , this needs spec method
some cars have 2 spark coils and 2 HV wires each
test them 1 by one not all at once on 2 coil pack engines.
yes spark can fail hot easy
if spark work rest fuel spray works into air cleaner or IAT port
if that works the fuel pump is dead?
no year told for sure
no miles engine told
also running old spark plugs,. 10 ,20 years?
or if super savvy own a scan tool
connect tool to scan port
engine dead, cranks ok
key on and turn on scan tool
crank for 5 seconds, and release key and do not key OFF
push scan button see DTC P03xx errors bingo.
or other errors, lots possible 100s. even factory codes.
like battery is failing. intermittantly
I have seen 5 to 7 year old batteries that when hit, wake up
with my rubber hammer to it with dead STATER MOTOR.
or even loose battery lugs or rusty, seen rusty only fail on dry ways
or wet, I can not hear your starter so I must be deaf.

hi mandy
im dave
if it only revs when you put it in 5th gear then it is not in fifth gear. it may look like it but it is not. try moving the gear selector from fourth into neutral releasing the clutch fully then applying the clutch and initiating fifth gear. if that does not work try placing it into one of the other gears first without releasing the clutch and then selecting fifth.
you should be fine driving in four gears as long as you dont travel on the audobahn or at speeds like your on the audobahn. Just watch your redline. try not to go past it. i think it is actually better for your car to drive at higher revolutions than lower as it cleans out your combustion chamber of carbon. on the other hand it is ******* your engine to drive in the red line constantly.
but 3000 rpm in 4th gear probably has you driving 130km/hr (82mph) which should be sufficient and your redline probably does not start until somewhere between 4-5k

try disconecting the coolant temp sensor and then try, it may be faulty, also check the hall sender unit in the distributor, if it has one, the centre pin should be the signal wire if no pulse is present the sensor is faulty
SOURCE: Hi, the rear windscreen wiper on my 2003 VW polo
The most common reason for this is a blown fuse, so using your vehicle owners book locate and check the fuse first. (if you don't have one then buy a Haynes manual for your car, the cost will pay for itself with the first repair you do). Modern automotive fuses not only have the current rating clearly marked numerically, but are colour coded and the fuses are designed so that you can easily see if they're blown when you pull them out to check. Most modern vehicle fuseboxes have a few spare fuses included and often have a small plastic tool to assist with pulling them out.
Normally a blown fuse needs further investigation as they should only fail if there's been a problem which would otherwise cause fire or other damage, but if wipers are operated inappropriately then it can cause enough load to blow the fuse. Sometimes the wiper spindles can become worn allowing water to get in
and corrode the internal parts; this will cause the spindles to bind or
even seize up and also cause the wiper motor to draw sufficient current
to blow the fuse.
Inappropriate use includes operating the wipers when the screen is dry, trying to use them to clear snow, ice or debris, operating them if the blades or arms are damaged.
If your problem turns out to be more than a straightforward blown fuse then please add a comment to my answer and I'll try to give you more specific advice. If my answer has solved your problem then please return the favour by rating my answer.

hi from uk check the main lead from battery+positive to the starters solenoid is secure ? also there is a thin wire that also connects to solenoid on a terminal of its own this is the solenoid energizing wire that works starter when key start position is selected if all above is ok? then use a jump lead and connect one end to battery negative post then the other end of lead to a suitable earth point on engine ? then try starting? if it works/starts ? you have a bad earth connection to engine from battery negative lead check the earth lead connection at point on engine is clean/secure ? it usually is secured by bolt at point where engine and transmission connect ? hope this helps?
