I have been struggling to figure out a couple of problems that have plagued me since I bought my 99.5 Jetta TDI in May.
The first one is a hard starting issue. If the car is hot it starts harder than when cold. Over 5 seconds of cranking if hot, about 2 seconds when cold.
Also, I have a strange idling problem. When I am coasting to a stop with the car out of gear (manual transmission), the engine idles rough. As soon as I stop (actually right before I stop completely) it idles fine. While Deafbug was doing my TB change I had another guy check my IQ setting and adjust it since it was out of spec. This fixed this problem up until about 2 weeks ago when it came back.
Can anyone help? I live in Bartlett and work in Glenview and would drive to meet someone that can help with this problem.
So far this is what I've replaced:
Battery, air filter, fuel filter, Deluxe TB (performed by Deafbug), MAF, relay 109, coolant temp sensor, fuel temp sensor, and fuel filter tee.
Anyone interested in helping, please PM me.
Thanks in advance,
Galen
