No ignition 2.5 petrol auto

priitkuusik · 23rd June 2013, 12:24

Hi,

I'm having difficulties with my 2.5 petrol auto. From time to time the engine just won't start. if I turn the key - nothing happens (only dashboard lights light up). I have to try 10-15 times and then it starts like nothing's wrong. And it does not matter when - sometimes it won't start in the morning, sometimes in the middle of the day when i've just driven.
I cleaned the idle valve, but it seems that it didn't matter - the problem is still there.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Priit

your problem is classic of a failing starter solenoid. around £15 on ebay and an hour to fit

Do You happen to know the part number?

That is the correct part

Sometimes all that is wrong is the small wire that connects to the starter has corroded but you would be best to just check that when you are fitting the replacement sol kit
