I'm surprised no one on the list has suggested the Bosch WR1 Low Voltage Relay kit as a fix for your problem. I've been suffering with the same problem on my '88 Wolfsburg (Lola). This past weekend I fitted this Bosch relay to my Lola. Voila! She's fixed. No more hot start problems. Bus Depot and Bus Boy both sell this kit. Good Luck.
