Ok my new S3 8l isnt happy. Was ticking over fine before i bought it.
Got it home had a dead battery, put a new battery in, took a good 5-6 seconds of turning over before it fired into life. Pulled out of driveway down road ev time i accelerated massive flat spot. Then it died. Turning over nothing. Started again for 5seconds. Dead again.
My gut feeling is fuel supply either contaminated or fuel pump, its been SoRNd for a 10months although it really was running fine on tickover for a good 10mins few days back.
I have an OBD eleven not tested yet but i guess i can get fuel pressure readings? Any checks i should make most appreciated.
