Hi, everyone, very merry holidays to you all!
We have a recurring problem (with our 1.2 TDI, 2003), which started the first time temperature dropped below zero C. While trying to turn on the engine nothing happens - no starter sound, no nothing (battery is new and working, you can turn on the radio, lights are working, etc....).
When I came home in the evening, it was above zero and the car turned on - everything was good for a month or so, and again - with the sudden drop of temperature the same happened, I tried to turn on the ignition and tried to change gears manually, but it wasn't possible. After trying few times of opening the car with the alarm thingie (remote?), the engine started, however after few seconds it would stop and the light of oil pressure would turn on. Once I was even able to drive for fifty meters or so and the the engine stopped, the gear was thrown into neutral. I took it to the service, they found the following errors: 00263 and 01071 and the sensor behind the break was faulty, so they changed it - it seemed to fix everything, as there were no errors and the gear box seemed to start working even better, smoother than before (not sure how it's possible).
Now, about a month pasted, temperatures were around zero, but this night it fell to -13, and in the morning the same problem with the car again...
Would you perhaps have any ideas what and where to look for?
