car has new battery and altenator
recently the car doesnt start when hot like battery is dead ,if i push it ,it will start
starts no problems when cold

is it some sort of sensor or is the engine on way out as its burning oil and it had valve stem seals 3 months ago ie compression issues ?

 

It sounds as if the starter motor may be getting cooked. The ERST is renowned for this problem due to the proximity between the starter and the turbo obviously this does not apply to yours. Do you just get a clicking sound?

That engine is known for the stem seals causing oil loss, you need to determine how it is burning it, I.E on the over run etc, if you done the stem seals I suspect bottom end wear perhaps.

It sounds like the battery is flat
and i suspect the rings are going due to smoke and smell from tailpipe

 

Have you checked the earth's are good?

i second the starter motor sounds like its knackered

 

thanks guys but the car started tonight and i went to the shops and it didnt start when i returned and i had to get a jump start ,it sounds like the battey is flat but it isnt ,it seems to be ok when cold and impossible when hot

 

does this engine have a cold start valve or similiar thats not working correctly ?
