TDI !MORNING! Cold Start Problem

[johnny_M]

All, I hope somebody might be able to help me with a problem I have with my Mk1 Leon TDI 110.

In the mornings the car will not start. It turns over fine however the Glow Plug light doesn’t come on and the traction control light comes on after I have tried to start it.
I have a Sigma M30 alarm/immobiliser and have changed the coolant sensor, 109 Relay and the glow plugs will be changed tonight.
There are no fault codes on the ecu whatsoever
It only happens in the morning, at any other time of the day the car starts fine !
Hope somebody can help before it goes to the garage on Monday !
Cheers

Hi John

So how do you get it started in the morning in the end?

Wait untill lunchtime !, then it starts no problem.

It's a crazy thing, the only thing i havent done in the morning is forward the clock on the dash !

but surely if it hasnt been running you would still be performing a cold start even at lunchtime?

it cant be that your car is affraid of the morning...
