Hello all,

After several years of trouble-free motoring our Beat is now refusing to start (when cold).

The check-light lights up as usual when turning the ignition on and the whirring noise (fuel pump?) sounds the same. When turning the key further to start the starter motor seems to burst into life ok (though I can't be certain that it is trying to spin I suppose), but after this initial 'cough' nothing else happens - the engine doesn't turn over.

I haven't had the chance to delve any further yet (other than to check all fluids are ok), or check for any fault codes, but I wondered if anyone here more technically-minded had any thoughts as to possible causes. Not much to go on yet I know!

Thanks,

Andy.
