Hello all,
I have trawled through many threads and web pages and I am unable to determine the best cause of action.
Here is my issue.
I have owned my car since 2014, last year I started having starting issues when the weather was hot and would get the EPC light on and the car would be in limp/safe Mode.
I diagnosed the issue to be a rely j757 so got a garage to change it for me. They said they changed it and that the old one was corroded. The car seemed to start ok, but sometimes it seemed a bit jumpy on idle.
Anyway.... The winter came and I thought nothing else of it.
Fast forward to last Saturday morning and the car was sat on the drive for a few hours and the sun was on it and temps were 28 degrees or more.
I went out late morning to drive it and it struggled to start and the EPC light was on and its was in limp mode.
I drove it round the block, stopped and turn off, then restarted and the car was back to normal and started fine.
All that weekend when the weather was hot I had intermittent bad starts.
My VAG fault codes are:
0444, 0033, 2294 and 0293
So my questions are....
Do i trust that the garage did actually change the relay ?
Do I try and change some sensors like coolant temp sensor and crank sensor as mentioned elsewhere ?
Do you have any other ideas or advice.
I really would appreciate the input on this.
Thanks for reading.
Phil
