·My 155 16V 2.0 starts perfectly every morning. However when the weather is hot (like today) and the car has been sat in the sun until the afternoon it sometimes refuses to start (the first attempt of the day). It will sometimes chug into life if you hold the accelerator down while turning over (as if the engine is flooded)
This has been an intermittant problem since I've had the car, about 5 years. I thought I could hear the cooling fan running so replaced the water temp sensor to no avail.
Any ideas?, I'm at a loss to see how such a small change in ambient temperature can effect how a cold engine starts.
As I say, it only happens if the car has been sat in the sun all day before I start the engine,
Thanks
