Hello all,
Been reading and reading through the forum for weeks and cannot find an answer.
I had bought a A4 2.0 TDI BRD a few weeks back and all checked out but a hard start, but ive seen that alot when viewing cars when theyve been sat around for a while so didnt think anything out the blue.
The car has continued to hard start when cold, turning over for anywhere up to 10 seconds before starting, this improves when the car is warm.
The car is also idling slightly higher than i think it should be at around 900-950, the MPG under VERY steady driving is about 35-40, driving normally would be low 30’s. initially i thought it was a worn out battery so swapped that after giving it a full service, swapped the glow plugs out after that as thought that may have been it, swapped the MAF sensor out and still no avail, have had VCDS plugged in and no faults, compression test is all fine.
The car doesnt idle “perfectly” smooth but nothing out of the ordinary and no smoke from exhaust.
Im beginning to think it could be timing issues from reading other forums but dont have exactly the same issues as others. Any ideas and experience would be very welcome and i thank you for your time in advance.
Cheers Ben.
