Hey! I've encountered this issue before. It's typically caused by a stuck Pierburg swirl motor or swirl valves. The repair can be done from underneath the vehicle. Simply remove the shifter mount bracket and self-starter to access the components. In Hungary, the part replacement cost was approximately 30,000 HUF.
