    [2.0 TDI] How to know if your cylinder head will Crack (if it hasnt yet)?

    Its the starter motor, no doubt. Mentioned by my audi chief mechanic. Told me that this also used to happen in the older A3 and Golf. You need a new starter motor, but with a modified reference.

    23C4 - AUDI is stealing power from our cars
