Hoping someone can help. My 2.0 diesel Altea has an intermittent starting issue. It happens often, but not always. Sometimes it starts fine.
Sometimes you can turn the key and it will eventually cough and splutter into life. Once the car starts and the revs normalise (about 3-5 seconds) it runs fine.
Only work done recently is a timing belt change. But I would have thought that if the timing was out it would happen all the time.
Not sure if the link below will work. It's a video of the issue
