    T4 2002 not starting

    Hi,
    I have a 2002 T4 syncro TDI Manual.
    Sometimes I go to start it and the dash lights come on but nothing happens, the engine does not turn over.
    I go back 10 mins later then it starts fine. This has happend about 5 times in 12 months.
    Then yesterday I went to start it and it would not start all day.
    Is this a ignition switch problem?
    Thanks,

    Very likely. But, it could also be the starter motor.

    Sounds like your ignition barrel maybe worn, mine has been like that for a few years now. I have to lift the key up slightly when turn the ignition and it starts fine, have had a few mechanics etc tell me the car would not start, just told them to lift the key and away they went.

    There is a chip in the T4 keys it could be faulty , maybe take it and see if they can clone it at a key place like Mr Minit . I had one done for a T4 as it would not start and it was the key .
