Skoda Octavia poop warm & hot starting

Car: Skoda Octavia
Variant: 1.9 Tdi
Model Year: 2001

Categories: Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss

I have a 2001 Skoda Octavia 1.9 diesel from new with 44k on clock regular maintained, it as developed a starting problem when the engine is hot or just even warm. From cold it starts instantly every time. One garage tells me the the glow plugs need replacing another says it can't be the glow plugs as it would effect cold starts. Any ideas.

I finally took the car into a Skoda dealer to sort the problem out, on the first try they coudn't find anything. Re booked in for electronic test, this showed no faults. Booked again for a through electronic check and strip and test all electrical components to engine. This time they found the fault - relace coolent temp sensor.
Part 059919501A TEMPERATURESENDER + N90316802 O-ring.
All this cost £67.48 incl vat. including several small trim jobs done.
Hats off to Skoda dealer Robert Eardley & Son Talke Road Newcastle Staffs Branch.
