La Golf MK4 venne introdotta per la prima volta in agosto del 1997, seguita da una versione berlina (VW Bora o, in Nord America, di nuovo VW Jetta) in agosto del 1998 e una nuova Golf Variant (station wagon) a Marzo del 1999.
My VW Golf has a hard start whereby i have to start it more than 2 to 3 times for the ignition to get the car started. Can everyone help show me how to fix this problem.
Thanks
Lawrence
Take it to AutoZone and get a free computer diagnostic. Then you'll know what may need to be fixed.
well it helps if ya say its a gas od diesel engine to start
if its diesel engine it has 4 diesel heater in each cilinder usually after 150 000 kms or sometimes before its adviceable to change coz it doesnt heat as before and the end of the heater that is inside the cilinder cant get incandescent so its a sinonym of a bad start of engine.
and more if just one of these heaters is failing ...the engine might start but till it heats makes lots of smoke

My sons Golf was hard to start when it was hot. I was told it's the speed sensor. I purchased one and replaced it. It's located right behind the oil filter so you must remove oil and filter first. There are two bolts that hold it in place, you can't see them, but you can feel them. It wasn't that difficult to replace. Now the car starts everytime. It doesn't stall out either.

I had a similar problem with my 2001 VW Golf 1.8 turbo. A mechanic advised me that the speed or crank shaft sensor may be bad. It’s the one right behind the oil filter. I changed it myself and that fixed the problem. Good luck. Henry

salam para master vw sy punya masalah dengan vw golf mk4 gti 1.8 mesin tidak bisa hidup karena mobil cukup lama tidak dipakai,terima kasih info petunjuk
Mk 1 don't have speed sensor or CKP sensor so I think your ignition timing jumped like 3 to 5 belt teeth.
Also Check number 16
And 18 fuse respectively be sure there are intact.
Your fuel pump is directly mounted on the engine block if it's bad can cause hard start, I am also having a feeling there is clog somewhere within your fuel system that is cutting the quantity of fuel going into your combustion chamber 80% off like clogged fuel filter or something.

1995 vw golf can't never be vw mk1, you are confusing mk 3 for 1,
vw mk 1 production started in 1974 and ends in 1983,
vw golf mk 2 started 1983 and stopped production in 1992
mk 3 production began in 1992 and end production in 1998
If your car is 1995 from the vin or chasis number 10th digit, then your car is Mk 3 not mk1 fully electric carb from Robert bosch company or direct injected. Mk one is not electric carb although some have part electric choke and rest manual carb.
You need to stipulate clearly if it's 1.6 L, 2.0 or 2.2 L direct injected cos this engine model have features that 1.8, 1.9, 1.3 L vw golf engine don't have, like some sensors like CKP and MAF sensors.
So that folks who don't have a comprehensive historic knowledge of vw golf mk won't give you a random answer like I did previously before looking at your poor information presentation.

Hi Blusher, in South Africa the MK1 golf was build until 2009. The later ones even had fuel injection, air conditioning , new dash interior and I think power steering.

My daughter’s 2003 Mk4 VW Golf wouldn’t start all of a sudden, after performing flawlessly for 2 years after purchasing it used with 230,000 kms on it. Turned out that we had to replace the Speed Sensor. In Vancouver BC, that turned out to be a $500.00 CAD job. Ouch!

I have the same problem on MK6 GTI DSG. When the car is hot is takes time to start and when it starts the needle sit on Zero and goes back to 90 while I am driving. Any ideas will be appreciated.

My vw golf GL 1.8 of 1994 would not start until i crank like five times. The high tension cable only show a spark at the reliese of crank. Bt during cranking no spark. This began after a week break without driving it.
It again lost the ability to unlock all doors using a key. I used to unlock and lock all doors using a central lock key (driver’s side)
Any idea good people?.. Am jackson. Email stonykimson.sk@gmail.com

Hi,
How old is the car's battery?
How far do you drive on a normal journey? Frequent short trips may not give enough time for the battery to recharge fully and recover from the charge lost in starting the engine and over a period of time of doing these short trips the battery could actually be "discharging" and losing its' effectiveness.
Check the condition of the car's battery as it may not have the depth of charge to provide the necessary power when required.
Use a DMM (Digital Multimeter)- Voltmeter function, to check the battery voltage.
A good battery should measure ~12VDC.
With the engine running check the voltage across the battery to ensure that it is in the range of 13.8-14.5VDC to ensure that the battery is being charged OK by the alternator. Because you will be working in the engine bay area be safety aware when you do this as the engine is running . Also ensure that the car is in neutral or park with the handbrake applied
If it is not a sealed battery, check the specific gravity (SG) of the electrolyte in all the cells with a hydrometer to check the state of charge of the battery. Also check that the electrolyte is at the correct level in each cell. A reading of 1.2 or less indicates a discharged cell and the battery would need to be charged correctly to see if the SG increases. If it doesn't the cell may be faulty
If it is a sealed maintenance free battery check the "State of Charge" indicator on the battery to see whether it says, OK, charge or replace.
If you haven't got the equipment or expertise to test the battery, go to a car battery service centre and get them to check the battery for you.

Hi Lawrence, I'm not a mechanic but it would probably be helpful to add more detail. I'd suggest adding something like "i can hear the normal sound of it wanting to start but it doesn't catch until the 3rd time" and/or "the first two times there's no sound at all and third it starts normally"... cheers and good luck having a sick car sucks!
