C5 Starting Problems

[Guest scott young]

Hi, I'm new to the board, having just bought an 04 plate C5 2.2HDI Exclusive.

 

I have a problem with it starting, mainly whilst warm. It starts fine if left overnight or all day, however if run even for 5 minutes, then switched off, it will not start again for 10 - 15 minutes. All the dials move, but nothing else happens.

 

I think it might be a softwear issue (it happens on the spare key as well).

 

If anyone else has experienced this, or know's how to resolve it please let me know.

Are you saying the engine doesn't turn over ?

Cheack all the connections but do you get a message "immobiliser fault "?

Hi Dave, no, no message re "immobilser fault". I turn the key and the dials all move, but at the final "turn" nothing happens. So no turnover at all from the engiine at all.

For starters - take off the battery terminals and give them a clean.

and also check your battery earth mounting on the gearbox
