Thanks for the response, mine is a non turbo. I will probably have a go this afternoon, weather permitting. Will keep you informed.

Changed the coil and the leads to try and end my cold start woes, however to no avail. Is there an Idle Control Valve on the 1.8 20v, or does anybody know of anything else that could affect the running of the engine form cold. It seriously only lasts about 2 min, and then she purrs like a cat. Thank...

Just changed the coil pack and the HT leads to 1&2, still a little bit ropey, but that could be the carbon from the residue oil that had been sucked up in the past. Definitely starts easier though so once the old stuff has burnt off it should be ok, fingers crossed. Thanks for the response. P.S....

I have problems with my B5 misfiring when I first start it. I know what the problem is, I just do not know what the actual name of the part is. The part that sits on spark plugs 3+4 and then has leads going to 1+2. Is this the coil or is it called an ignition module. Once I know what to ask for then...

Thanks for the replies, will make the change tomorrow.

Wonder if anyone can help ?

I have just fitted a new SONY head unit into my B5 and the memory will not hold. I had the same issue with my old Vauxhalls and it was just a case of swapping two wires around.

Is it the same in the B5 ?

Thanks
