Hi Guys, i have an audi a3 1.9tdi 1997, a few weeks ago had the catylytic convertor changed after failing the MOT, and a few minor thing(not sure what as the wife dealt with it as i was away) and all was fine, then all of a sudden the glow plug light came on whilst i was driving, i was passing a local indie garage, asked if they could have a look only to be told they didnt go back that far with their software, but should be ok to drive it till i found somewhere that had the software. i stopped using the car that day, went back to it started as normal, no glow plug lamp staying on, so carried on using it as normal, few days later, struggled to start but did eventually, and carried on as normal, then one day started, tried to reverse out of parking spot and car cut out each time i tried reverse, put in 1st and worked so drove of to get home, had to stop unfortunately, and when returned to car wouldnt entertain starting, no glow lug light at all on turning key, car turns and tries to start just wont, had to call the aa, they played with relay 109 to no avail, and towed car home, had mate look at it, and replaced relay 109, same issue, sent ecu off for fault finding, sent back no faults found, so fitted to car, started and acted as normal, got in after work to drive back had to reverse, cut out again, 1st was ok had to move car to parking spot, turned off, and tried again, no glow plug light.
if leave the car few hours it starts until put in reverse, the next turn of key starts but then as release key it cuts out, then tries to start to no avail.
would take to garage to try find a fault code but unable to start to move it from work, cant get it towed for various reasons at the moment either.
any help suggestions greatfully recieved, sorry for the long message but trying to get as much info in as i could
thanks in advance
