Evening all, I have a 2000 a4 with a 2.0bhw swap with the euro driveline and s4 bits, I call her my tds4
Anyways she's been a great trustable vehicle but the last year she's started having a few crank no start issues..
Crank no start meaning I can crank it 10 times for 4 seconds and it won't start, or I can crank it for 20 seconds straight no start.
It will ALWAYS start within a few minutes, sometimes a random key turn, sometimes I let it sit a sec and it starts right up..
When this happens the glow plugs light flashes, no cel, but I will scan next time with vcds.
It's not the hpfp. As it's done this a straight year sometimes it's months without doing it sometimes it's the next day.. always comes out of it and starts everytime after.
I am going to see about letting it sit with the key on after the first try again and see if that makes a difference, but I'm looking for some guidance.
Maybe someone who knows these motors well.. maybe a tech?
Aside from the start issue she runs strong at 190k pushing 22.6 psi runs strong just annoying to start sometimes
Thanks in advance
