Caddyslammed 16 Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 1) Starts fine cold, but when hot, takes a lot of turning over to start.2)This one is worse when cold, on throttle up to around 2k revs, a droning noise is heard like a vibration, and is worse when i let off throttle and let the revs come down.Car runs well overall, has minor oil leak looks like from the cooler or oil switch.95 OBD1 vr6 mk3 golf Link to post Share on other sites

Caddyslammed 16 Posted November 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 Nothing savage, but can sort of feel it through the floor, on tickover u can sort of here it too, when cold, the left hand side of engine when you look at the engine with the bonnet up stood in front of the car, belt side Link to post Share on other sites
Apollo 0 Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 1st one could be coil related breaking down when hot. Link to post Share on other sites
eastwood john 1 Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 i get the droning like wyning nose on cold start, sounds horible, Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Seabrook 4 Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 wouldnt have thought the coil as that would effect the running too not just the starting ??hmmm noise sounds strange - could try and get a sound clip mate on your phone ? otherwise if its that side of the engine check the tension in the belt Link to post Share on other sites
