U13 Attesa having problems when cold
« on: Sep 18, 2007, 08:24PM »
Theres a U13 attesa im looking at buying... to cut a long story short i called the owner today and talked to him about the car/asked alot of questions ect. Hes told me  "the only slight issue with it is cold morning starts" ..he said when its cold its a bit sluggish, runs a bit rough and coughs a bit until it warms up, but then when its warm its fine."

just looking to see if anyone might have any ideas on what could be causing this?

cheers

Could be the AAC or IACV (not sure on the SR terminology) clogged up with crap.

mine runs like poo when cold, only for about 5 mins, then its all good, only once has it stalled though. quite recently so Im guessing something needs cleaning/replacing :)
