Hard starting 2003 Octavia 1.6 ambiente

Featured Replies

Hey guys I currently live in Barbados and over the past couple weeks I've been getting issues related to the coolant temperature sensor. These issues included random loss in engine power, complete engine shutdown, absence of "choke mode" on mornings with the engine cold and hard starts when warm. As a result of this, I've gotten a diagnostic which revealed an intermittent signal from the coolant temperature sensor which was subsequently changed. However, even with the new sensor installed this resulted in the car still hard starting to the point that it would not start at all. Codes were cleared once again, plugs were cleaned, however, the hard start problem still exists. As a result I'm suspecting the main issue could be the CTS electrical connector which could be the source of the aforementioned. Does anyone know where I can locate a new electrical connector for the coolant temperature sender unit? This would be greatly appreciated.
