Hi Everyone,
Hope someone can help. I'm having some cold start problems with my 2005 A3 2.0l tdi BKD Auto (mileage 95k).
If its left for more than a few hours it struggles to start, it feels like fuel starvation. It also hesitates badly at low speed. However once it's warm it drives perfectly - great mpg 60+, no issues. In the last 100 miles I've had the cambelt done and also the fuel filter. Only just taken ownership of the car so not sure if it was bad before the service.
Had a look at the fuel hoses around the fuel filter and they all look ok (not split). It came up with some glow plug faults a few weeks ago: codes: 17055, 17056, 17057 & 17058. Should I replace all the glow plugs?
Just filled up with a tank of V Power diesel and given it some Redex......
Ill post a video of the problem in a few hours what does everyone think?
