Thanks Varooom, I have occasionally had the error message about the sensor but decided to ignore it after reading online advice. I never thought to connect the two and didn't realise that it could cancel the engine start. That is definitely something to pursue further. I dont have a fault code reader, but think it will be worth booking it in to get it sorted, as I have been putting it off for a long time now, and need to bite the bullet really!

Also, I thought I would post a link to the thread I have created about the issue.

Hi Everyone, I finally managed to get a video of this fault which has been bugging me for a while and is slowly getting worse! The video shows what it looks / sounds like but for context: This began about a year ago when my start / stop would occasionally not restart first time, after a while it would take two attempts then three, and then I would be prompted to put the car in park and start with the key. Recently even starting the car with the key sometimes takes several attempts as seen in the video above. It only seems to happen when the car is warm and has been driven for a while. Commonly after I have made a journey of at least 30 miles or half an hour. The car starts fine from cold. So far I have got around the problem by disabling start/stop when I get in but occasionally I forget and have been left stranded in the middle of the road when turning right, or just at a queue at traffic lights. Has anyone seen this before or knows of a potential fix? Thanks! Jack

Hi everyone I'm Jack. Just getting around to making an account as I have gained lots of good information from this forum in my time as a Skoda owner but now have an issue that has foxed me completely so thought it would be great to ask for some advice. Look forward to chatting with you all. Thanks!
