A3 not starting/cutting out

Featured Replies

Hi all
I currently have a 2011 1.6 tdi A3 and I'm having problems.
It cut out on me the other day, since then I have had to take a sensor off just to start it otherwise it just cuts out. I put it on diagnostics and it told me it was the DPF so tryed to clean that with spray but still the same.

Any advice would be much appreciated

Cheers

Hi which sensor did you unplug, also which diagnostic program are you using, if it still runs the only thing else you can do is buy an add to the fuel DPF cleaner and take it for a good run dual carriageway if possible the other alternative is a forced regeneration cycle, if you do this make sure the car is sitting somewhere with good open air ventilation, the other thing is you will have to have all sensors connected.

Steve.
