It starts every time, the first time when it's cold I can drive it for around 10 minutes, but then suddenly stops. When I try to start it again it starts, but stops right after. What can it be?

Hi,

Please understand, this vehicle isn't offered in the US. However, I will try my best to help.

It sounds like it could be a few things. Have you checked fuel pressure to confirm it is within the manufacturer's specifications? Also, the idea that it doesn't want to run after driving it that far could be related to a faulty crankshaft position sensor.

Do me a favor. Take a look through this link and let me know if anything mirrors what you experienced:

Let me know.

Take care,

joe

Thanks. It's exactly what's happening that was stated in the link. I ordered both a camshaft sensor and crankshaft sensor. So now I'm waiting for it to replace.
