hazyfantazy Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Hello everyone, i have had my AUDI A3 TDI about 6 weeks and i have had a few problems when starting not always but sometimes, if i do not put my foot flat down on the accelerator it sometimes struggles to start and even when it does start its a bit lumpy but if i do not do this it really struggles to start, and if i miss it on the first turnover it really struggles the 2nd time when it eventually does it smokes a lot can anyone help please.

Trevor Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Hi Mark...welcome to the Forum Is it only when starting the engine from cold start or when the engine is warm/hot? Sounds like it could be glow plugs on the way out if starting from cold Let us know how you get on with it Cheers, Trevor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hazyfantazy Posted September 5, 2016 Author Share Posted September 5, 2016 Hi Trevor, Thanks for your reply, i think i have found the problem there was a plastic lid off the air intake i put it back on and it seems to have resolved the issue. i do have a totally unrelated issue which is very annoying , i will start a new thread have a look and see if you have any ideas Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
