VW Jetta 2003 crank, won't start
Hi! VW Jetta 2003, Gas, Manual, 2.0. All of sudden doesn't start- I would say "when the engine is hot". To make it easier what I had done:
- Changed starter, didn't solve the problem
- Brought to electrical check- no problems found
- Mechanic checked clutch, seems fine
What I noticed:
- Car seems to start fine after been parked for some hours (5h for sure or overnight)
- All the lights are on on the panel when trying to start BUT sometimes the battery light seems to not come up
- Rarely seems that the car shuts down for a sec (but not really shuts down, just all lights turn off and once I noticed EPC light went on) when I am driving and pass a bump.
- If it is working, runs well
- It is consuming a huge amount of anti coolant. Like a big bottle per month and I have no idea why!
- when the problem started I got someone to jumpstart and it worked...
I am sorry.. I am a girl and have no idea about cars at all... I really thank you for any help!
