Hi all, had an issue with my mk1 VRS, the EPC light has on a couple of occasions, stayed on while cranking, then she starts after about 5 seconds of cranking. Switch off, starts again perfectly.

Sadly, a halfords battery decided to let me down yesterday morning, and car wouldn't crank fast enough to start. Replacement battery on, EPC light stays on, and she won't start at all..........just cranks.

I am going to collect my OBD2 to have a look at the fault codes, just wondered if anyone has had a similar problem?

crank sensor 

Started fine after a battery disconnect for a bit, occassionally refuses to start on first attempt for about 5 seconds but then starts and idles a little high, EPC light stays on, no new DTCs.........

Hi skodaspannerman, did you get this fixed in the end as I have now got the same problem! :(
