Hello folks, I'm just getting stuck into finding out why my newly acquired A2 is having such a hard time starting, I changed the fuel filter first off, thinking it would be an easy fix, but it has made no difference at all. The problem does seem like it is fuel related, as in not enough fuel getting through.
This was the filter, so I guess it hadn't been changed for some time.
I've just done a scan and got the following message:
Probably not the main problem, but something that needs sorting anyway. The glow plug relay has been bodged up as well, so will order a new one of those.
I've looked up to find out which relay is the glow plug one, seems like it should be the one marked 614 on this photo?
I've had the battery on charge for at least 12 hours and it's not fully charged, so it might be knackered as well. I've got a tester so if it ever shows fully charged I will check it out.
Otherwise on my to do list are:
Fuel tank sender
Earth points
Tandem Pump
Crankshaft position sensor
Injector Loom
Genuine Fuel Filter
Being a bit hampered by the rain today, but I'm taking the opportunity to familiarize myself with the car and where everything is!
