Hi,
I have a 04 MK5 1.9 TDI Golf which I got a couple of months ago (Serviced and MOT'd), but recently I've noticed some problems when starting up
These only occur when the engine is nice and warm, such as when going on a long drive, stopping for fuel and then carrying on again. Sometimes the car doesn't seem to want to start up again, and it takes a couple of attempts with some encouagement from the gas pedal to get the engine turning over. When it's running afterwards there aren't any problems at all - it's just getting it to start in the first place
When starting from cold it's fine with no probs whatsoever
Does this sound like a common problem or does anyone think there is something amiss and it needs the attention of a VW garage?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
Cheers, Andy
