Can anyone offer me some advice.
My wife drives a 51 Plate A2 TDI, which has a mileage of 166000, wow!!
still drives great though.
But the one thing that is driving us nuts is its starting is terrible.
It starts fine from hot.
But if you leave it for a few hours or overnight it is a pig.
it sounds like fuel starvation, it turns over quickly, and the only really way to start it is by giving it some throttle and with a strangled sort of sound if eventually fires up, farting and spluttering.
i took it to my local independant audi dealers, and he could not find anything wrong with it - typical.
could it be the cheap morrisons diesal we use?, although its fine in my VW Touran.
am i going to have to resort to taking to my local Audi Stealership?
any help greatly appreciated.
