Everything was fine so far. But all of a sudden your Volkswagen Iltis doesn't start more or has trouble starting. What is annoying is that you never really understand where the problem came from. Since it's already too late for your appointment, find a time to identify the problem. We will see through this text what are the most frequent situations and how identifier.problem-starting-Volkswagen-Iltis

The battery of your Volkswagen Iltis is discharged

This is without a doubt the most common problem, and perhaps the easiest to troubleshoot. Your Volkswagen Iltis headlights turn out to have remained illuminated all night, the bulb in the passenger compartment of your car, or quite simply the keys on the ignition, etc. All the elements that could use electricity while the engine is off could be the cause of the malfunction. However, it also occurs when the battery is very old, or alternator. To check if the battery of your Volkswagen Iltis is flat there is a super easy way. If the lighting of the headlights is abnormally low, it means it's a battery problem! On the other hand, assuming that the headlights turn perfectly, it is that the problem comes from elsewhere. To charge the battery, you most likely know how to do it, and you need to think about constantly having cable in your trunk. It also remains conceivable that the thimbles of the battery be oxidized. In this situation, you just need to open the hood and check if they are dirty. In this situation you will be able to remove the material using a brush. If it doesn't work, you will need to change the battery.

The starter of the Volkswagen Iltis is worn

It is less common than a dead battery but it could still happen from time to time. To discern the steps to follow you will need to know what a starter is for on your Volkswagen Iltis. It is a kind of engine inside the engine. The difference is that it is completely electric. Indeed, it is this which will activate the engine, and the electricity required for its activity comes from the battery. To repair it sometimes it is enough to give several small strokes on its carcass so as to separate the coals in order to let the electricity circulate.

The engine of your Volkswagen Iltis is flooded

Hopefully this is not the case. Sometimes it is still possible to successfully start your Volkswagen Iltis, even if it also happens that the engine remains irretrievably drowned. It happens especially when it's cold. Often you can spot it when you try to start the engine and you feel a sharp gasoline smell. Sometimes you just have to wait half an hour and the problem will be gone. For petrol cars it is also possible to remove petrol in the spark plugs but this remains a manipulation not recommended for apprentice mechanics.

Conclusion

If your Volkswagen Iltis never starts, it could come from a electric problem and more rarely of a engine problem. You now have leads to identify the problem, and if it does not disappear, you can go to a professional, they are paid for it after all! Good luck.
