Hi all,
Thanks for all your answers, I have an update, just been out in the car , started fine, I stayed in the car while the wife popped into shops as we kept it running, also popped into Dundee VW dealer and he said the engine coolant temp sensor would cause my problem but the jump lead issue baffled him, well came home 30 mins ago and turned the car off, it started again, switched off then would not start, we have now noticed the light for the heater plugs, that yellow coil on the dash is not luminated at the times the car wont start, now if I leave the car for say 30mins to an hour switch ignition on, I will have heater plug coil luminated, go for a spin, come back and the car wont start and the coil will not be luminated, put jumpers on it from another vehilce and it will start, does this still sound like my battery is needing replaced, I have a buddy that got a new battery fitted to his tranny van last week, I will pop this on and take it from there and keep you all updated, all answers greatly appreciated.
James.
