    funny old TD5

    Something funny happened on the way to work this morning, when I went out to the disco and start the car the horn made a little beep as I turned the key and nothing happened. The car would not start. First thing I done was check that I left it in P, yes it was in P.

    So I turned the key back and started the process again, and away she went like there was nothing wrong.

    Has this happened to anybody else?

    Check the battery in the car and the battery in the key fob.

    New Battery was installed 5 months ago. So I will check remote. Is it a watch battery in the remote?

    Yes It's happened to me, but the car started in limp mode. A restart fixed it.

    It happens to mine occasionally(every couple months or so the car will crank over but won't start at all).
    I give the plug connected to the injector harness a wiggle and then everything is good for another couple of months.
    I replaced the injector harness originally and flushed and wiped oil as much as I could. I used a full can of circuitboard cleaner, but a little oil still does that capilliary action thing and works its way back up from the loom into the plug. I guess it will stop eventually.

    Cheers,

    Jason
