I have a 1998 Jetta tdi
The car always started cold temp and hot temp (outside and engine)
A couple of weeks ago, i started having problems starting the car when the engine was warm. I would put the key in, cycle the glow plugs, starter would turn over for 5 sec, no start, repeat again, and then it would start!
Today, i woke up, went to work and then came to my car at my break 3 hours later and the car wouldn't even crank over?
waited 5 minutes there and then tried again, the starter was slow to turn, and then finally turned over and the car started.
took it to the coffee shop, and then turned the car off, and then immediately tried to start it up again, and no start
does anyone know what could be causing this issue? the battery is only 6months old and i have fresh injectors/nozzles in the car, glow plugs and glow plug harness is 6 months old too!
any suggestions or experiences appreciated
thank you
Vic
