Hi guys,
Ive had this issue now for several months, and have tried the searches, read all sorts of threads, and tried many parts, and I still have yet to resolve it.
When leaving over night, it struggles to start, car shakes, sometimes catches sometimes doesn't, and twice in severel months, its cut out down the road while driving, possibly when dropping or going up a gear, and is a real nightmare to start, will not start without easy start and jump cables as it kills the battery cranking. Also once its been started for around 30 seconds, its fine all day.
2006/55 Audi A3 2.0 TDI S line DSG (BKD Engine)
Its had its injectors seals done, fuel pump, low lift pump, I've just changed the fuel pump again yesterday. it looks to have had a new starter motor before i had it, but i ruled out the starter and battery as the lights are not flickering, doesn't seem like theres a lack of power, and with jump cables on, it still starts the same.
VCDS shows no faults.
Service History is full, DSG services have been done on time, maintenance wise its been cared for like a baby...
But this is seriously getting to me now, especially with winter ahead
