Hi

This has happened a few times now and is very odd. We start the engine, it revs once and immediately dies (revs more if I press the accelerator but can't delay it dying). It continues to happen consecutively until I stop for a little while. Then everything seems normal.

Very recently minor serviced.

It's a manual T3.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Happened to me recently, exactly the same. I can’t remember exactly but at the time I thought it was down to something I was doing wrong in the starting procedure- I think maybe it was because the car was in gear even though of course the clutch was disengaged ( manual T3 also ). Anyhow it started ok after I switched off and tried again

This happened to me today. 3 or 4 starts, died immediately, tried again after a minute or so and was fine.

Did anyone ever get an answer?
