How long after stopping the GTD 2.0 TDI engine, should I leave it before restarting? I ask because after I stopped the engine, using the stop/start button, I left it about a minute, then restarted. There was a burning smell from the engine (like it was cooking up real good in there) and rear exhaust and the fan cut in. It also smelt very hot under the bonnet and under all the car.
What I'd like to know is, did I restart the diesel engine too soon? If so, how long should I leave it before restarting from hot and are there any special driving procedures I need to know about, with the 2.0 TDI engine? I have to say, I've never had this with all the petrol engine cars I've had. Surely the GTD engine isn't that temperamental/delicate, that you have to leave it a while, before restarting and I mean 5 minutes or more!?Thanks.
To add insult to injury, the car has refused to start a couple of times (before engine burning smell), with a warning on both occasions, on the MFD display, requesting I use a key(?) to start the engine, on a car with keyless. Can't see anything in the VW handbook, when or where I should insert a key to start the engine? Got it main dealer checked and they could find no fault codes.
Please bear in mind this is a brand new car too, yet I am experiencing this? Not good, as I say. Love the GTD so much, but hate the unreliability we are having...
