Hi Everyone,
I bought my A2 it's a 3 cylinder 1.4 TDI in November this year, knowing it had a starting problem but not knowing the full extent of it but a friend of mine said that they could have a look at it for me... Well I really wasn't told the full facts so found out the hard way...
The fuel system is unique in that no one knows how the fuel goes from the tank to the engine, every part of the fuel system was taken apart and it now works much better but if the fuel goes below 30% then the problems of fuel going to the engine reappears... it finds it hard to start the engine and has also died while driving?? That is the main problem... Any ideas please but I am willing to live with it as it is a great car to drive...
I need to change the petrol flap motor as that has broken and I can't find any youtube videos, the steering rack also needs replacing but that is for sometime in January oh next week!! also not as important I will be changing the emergency boot cord as that doesn't work which I found out when the car battery died... I might of left the passenger visor down..
I do love the car and can see why people do and I know this will take some time to everything done as I am not a mechanic and already feel guilty with my friend spending 20 hours in partially fixing the fuel problem..
To sum up Fuel not getting to the engine when it tank goes below 30% (i was told that it may have something to do with a flap as there is no pump in the tank)
Also, Audi changed the spec to a 4 cylinder and used a pump for the diesel to engine!!
Steering rack needs changing
petrol/diesel motor flap needs replacing
emergency boot cord needs replacing
Any help with getting this car back to A2 perfection (fully driveable) would be greatly appreciated.
Happy new year
