I've just become a member onto this website, through a mate a work with called Adam B. Thinks it may help me if I ask the question here as VW can't answer me!
Just wanted to ask for some general advice on a problem I've had for quite some time. Its in relation to starting the engine, not always when its cold, in fact its sometimes worse when it has been running for a short trip to the shops.
When I turn the ignition the engine will try to start and I can feel it wants to but its like the engine isn't getting the juice it needs to kick in, so sometimes a tease of the accelerator will do it. However most times it just gives up and dies. Leave it for a second or two and then try again and it'll work, but just sounds rough and not in time. This happens say once or twice a week and so is bearable but not good.
Whilst the car was still under warranty, it went into the dealers who had it for two weeks while I was on holiday. They couldn't find out what was wrong with it, but suggested it may have been something to do with the fuel flow filter and so replaced that. Two weeks after picking the car up, the same old problems again, however as you guessed it the warranty has now run out.
Does this sound familiar to anyone and would you have any advice?
Kev
