Morning,
I bought myself an A4 cab. about 2 years ago as a non runner. I got it running and it sounds as sweet as a nut. It's not been on the road since I bought it as it needs a new turbo.
I started it again yesterday after leaving it for 10 months and I it just stopped running when it was idling on the drive and there's about 1/2 tank of old fuel in it.
It started again but only when it was left for a few hours, now it won't start. No fault codes except dpf blocked which has never caused a problem for idle before?
It does have a new fuel filter that I put on last year.
I intend to get a couple of transparent inline fuel filters and install them in the fuel line before the stock fuel filter (which I'm also going to replace) to see if it picks up any crap.
Has anyone has problems with fuel bug on their car, I only ask as I have a boat which had the same symptoms and it was a blocked fuel filter (blocked due to algae / diesel bug).
If you've had a problem with contamination of old fuel / diesel bug and know of a solution can you please let me know what you did to eradicate it.
Obviously I may be barking up the wrong tree completely!
Any feedback will be greatfully received.
Cheers
