Sunday afternoon car problems folks.
My parents 2002, 1.2 3 cylinder seat Ibiza (petrol), won't start occasionally when hot, after a short run to the shops they have to wait up to an hour for it to cool down. It turns over but won't start.
The immobiliser light comes on apparently, the barrel has been changed since this started two years ago, the local garage has checked the ecu and can't find any probs.
Since I've borrowed it its fine.
Its not running particularly smoothly.
I changed the coil packs a couple of years ago.
Checked all connections for corrosion all good.
Checked YouTube and google, some lass had same problem, eventually sent off ecu to be fixed and problem solved.
Anyone any thoughts please?
