Scirocco Register

Hi all,

My injected Scala is taking two or three turns of the ignition to get it started from cold. Seems like fuel is not getting through on first / second turn then fires up fine.
I've heard talk of 5th injector being the culprit although are replacements available? Any suggestions?
Thanks!

no need to post the same thing 3 times

I'd recommend you to get a fuel pressure tester. you should check the operation of the cold start injector and thermo time switch. lots online about this stuff

this might be useful too:

Might be a good idea to test the 5th injector before buying a new one as could be various things.

Remove the 5th injector and place it in a jar, start up the engine and see if any fuel comes out.

The 5th injector is controlled by a thermo switch on the main coolant outlet on the the front of the head, there is a guide to testing the thermo time switch in the Haynes manual.

stab the accelerator a few times?

worked for me for many years!

It was my daily driver, not a toy.

I needed a practical solution and it worked, I'm not a purist!

Was fine for 12 years and I'd tried all the rest?

Good un, Danny.
A pragmatic Northern solution!
Hope you're keeping well.

Thanks all
