Gt sport 170 tdi not starting

[stevieC]

As topic say's the car turns over but won't start,this has been happening over the last few weeks & maybe not started about 6 times.car will start first turn in the morning then when u go back to start it just turns over,sounds as if no fuel is getting through.Also had the injector recall a few weeks ago this is probably when it all started.anyone else had this problem.

Does it only fail to start if the car is up to temperature?  i.e. you drive it for a few minutes or more then stop then try to start?

Yeh rhyso but just drove a 200 mile round trip on sat with no probs,but your right it will only happen after you've started it drove then tried 2 start it again.

I know a bloke with a Passat who had a similar problem; had to wait for the car to cool down

Think it was the cam position sensor that was at fault

Cheers for that.got it booked into vw on wens 2 see what they say.

Rhyso u were right cam position sensor,vw want £540 to fix.Is this fault comming up due to the timing belt just being changed.

How much??!! Bloke with the passat paid less than £100 to have his sorted    he certainly didnt pay that!!!  VW wanted to change is ecu mind at £800.....

Vw say,diagnostic, 4 hrs fitting part & part £540 do they need to remove timing belt.

Find an independent who can correctly read any fault codes.
