gotta 2.5TDi, 2006 and it appears to have a weird and unpredictable starting problem.
What usually happens it will start without any problems first thing in the mornings even from below - 4 deg C without a hitch.
But when its say been run for only about 15 mins, maybe popping into the newsagent, when i come to try and restart it when the engine is luke warm it just turns and turns and turns over on the starter motor, very brisky i may add, but fails to actually fire.
The battery is spot on as it will turn and turn over very lively but not fire
, ive tried the spare key incase a transponder issue key problem.
VAG Com'd by a mate and no fault codes stored.
My 'guess' is crankshaft sensor...............................???? but surely this wouold flag up a fault code
anyone else have a problem like this on these 5 cyl diesels?
