Hey guys,
I am stumped and I was hoping to get some advice, I have a 03 Golf TDI. I am having very long cranking times when I try to start after sitting overnight. When it does turn over it does a lot of chuffing, hesitating, smoking and then it settles down and runs smooth. Other than that it runs and sounds great. It does turn right over if I am running errands, as long as it doesn't sit overnight or about 6 hours regardless of temp.
I have 465 across all 4 cylinders, new turbo, new glow plugs, new harness, new IP, IQ is at 5.8, IP Timing is set to the top of the range, new calibrated injectors and nozzles from Kerma, EGR delete, and I just got the timing belt replaced. I first thought air was getting in the system so I replaced any hoses that did not hold vacuum and I also replaced my fuel filter with one with a permanent tee(you know how much of a PITA that plastic tee is). I have no air bubbles in my fuel line now. At this point I am don't know what else it could be.
All this has been done in the last year chasing this problem.
If anyone has any suggestions or advice I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks,
Phil
