  View original topic: won't start when hot

i've been having this problem to a minor degree with my jetta for awhile now, but it happens on the bus i just got too. starts right up when cold, but the bus just won't start when it's been running for awhile and i got to start it again after it's been off for a short time. the jetta will start, it's just getting to be a longer and longer period when it will eventually turn over.

any ideas?

The relay installation cured our starting problems.
