Hi all,
I've recently been having some starting issues with my golf...
its currently on 144,780 miles or thereabouts and the following work has been done on it in the past:
124,000: cam belt and oil change and all filters
130,000: oil change and all filters
133,000: all four injectors, oil change and all filters except pollen filter, new VW EGR valve, new Bosch starter motor (to cure warm-start problem)
136,000: oil change and all filters except pollen filter
144,000: oil change and all filters
144,750: four brand new VW glow plugs and new VW fuel filter
prior to 124,000 miles it was a HSBC ex-lease car and has a full main dealer service history, when I checked the service history with the garage they said any recommended work had all been carried out at the dealership including bulbs/wipers/tyres etc
on sunday, i got into my car in the morning to go and after starting the car, it turned over and then immediately just cut out. the only way i could coax it to start was to leave it a bit, constantly tried cranking it but it wouldnt start unless i pumped the accelerator pedal...
it did again yesterday morning after which i took it to my garage and it was throwing up glow plug errors on 2 cylinders, as a precautionary all four glow plugs were changed along with the fuel filter using genuine vw parts.
hoping this had cured the issue, it came back again this morning and now i'm at a loss as to what to do.
my mechanic kindly offered to come down to my house in the morning and start the car for me in order to help him diagnose the issue.
the only common thing between sunday and this morning was that the car had only just gone onto reserves and the kufatec mfa+ was showing 6litres of fuel.
can anyone help shed some light on these issues?...
thanks
