Speaking as an occasional poster. I appreciate all the advice I get. As soon as I buy a car, I join the appropriate forum. My mechanic does most of my work, but he is old school, so I often go in to collect the car, and he will tell me what he has done, and what he didn't have time for. Basically, if it is fitted with a nut and bolt, he is THE MAN, other than that, it depends. But, yes, please don't stop posting you petrol/diesel heads are great. THANKS 🙂

Hi Gareth, The Sensor was marketed as 'Bilstein', so not sure tbh. I'm still going to buy VAG Camshaft & Coolant Sensors, just to make sure. I'm also going to get a new fuel filter, just to make sure; maybe even a Cranshaft Sensor too, but will buy that if all alse fails. :0) Thanks again, Paul.

Hi Gareth, Thank you very much for your in depth reply; there is certainly food for thought. I hadn't even considered the coolant temperature sensor, but will look in to this. I will also look at your other suggestions... I actually reinstalled the original Camshaft Sensor, which did eliminate the affects of the aftermarket sensor (Bilstein I think). Update: I went out today and although the cold start was as expected, my engine started first time on both warm starts, one at Tesco and the other at the petrol station, which was the major issue I was having. I will post further updates as the week goes on... I still haven't noted the engine codes, which I will do tomorrow. :0) Thanks again, Paul.
