geane Posted December 31, 2006 Report Posted December 31, 2006 I have a R-Reg TDI 1.9 Automatic and the problem is that when i try to start the car in "P" the car does`nt start first time(not always only sometimes, very moody)but If I move the gear stick "back and forth" and then try again it usually starts!! HELP.. I know it is not a major problem but it is still very annoying sometimes. Is there a Loose connection problem anywhere? Why is that if I move the gear stick backwards through all the gears and then bring it back to the "P" position it will start? Quote

geane Posted December 31, 2006 Author Report Posted December 31, 2006 Someone else told me that it could be the auto inhibiter switch as well but i just wanted to be sure from you boys that this part could be the one giving me the problems. What are the chances that it could be this particular part? VERY High? I don`t have the finance to take "pot Luck" if you know what I Mean!!! Thanks In Advance. Quote

justme Posted December 31, 2006 Report Posted December 31, 2006 I have the same problem... is this a D.I.Y job or best left to someone that thinks they know? Quote
NikpV Posted December 31, 2006 Report Posted December 31, 2006 hi have a look here - from the comments it doesn't seem too bad mk1 inhibit switch - eventually :-) Justme don't know what version you have (put it in your sig - click on the links in my sig for help) but search for inhibit and switch will get a few hits here Quote
