couple of newbie questions
Hi All,
Have just picked up a 98 156 1.8TS which I am loving at the moment. However over the last week the car occasionally doesnt start 1st time. When I start up it sometimes makes like a hissing/gassing noise (its hard to explain), but the engine doesnt even make an attempt to start. At 1st I thought I wasnt allowing time for the Code to clear and hence car wudnt start, however this morning I made sure the Code light had dissapeared, started her up and noise returned. When I return the key position to stop and restart, starts up no problem (always starts on 2nd attempt). just wondering if anyone had a clue...as I say the noise sounds like air going thru (hiss/gass) and engine doesnt make attempt to start (some sort of immobiliser thing??). I am using the master key which is celotaped at the moment (I stepped on it) so I dont know if that could have a negative effect. I need to get the other keys coded pronto! Another thing while Im posting is that when car's cold and for example I leave the car park at work in 2nd, if I hit the clutch the rev's shoot up quickly and then return to normal (foot off gas obv). This is only in the first few minutes and only when press the clutch. The car revs constantly just under 1000 on the dial (900+ or -) all the time so its not like it misses a beat or anything, just revs shoot up when press clutch when cold. Is that normal ? Not 2 good with car's so any replies appreciated b4 i take to garage. TIA |
