And after few times it eventualy starts. How it looks like will describe a video below. Did anyone of you had the same issue and could anyone know what is the problem? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Sounds like glow plugs are not working efficiently...I would check the resistance across each of them and replace if necessary 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stojic Posted March 28, 2017 Author Share Posted March 28, 2017 Thanks for your answer. I would check glow plugs ofcours but this is happening only when the engine is hot. On low temperatures it starts with no error. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 sorry, should have noticed that! Would definitely look at the Coolant Temperature Sensor readings then and also the connection going to the sensor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stojic Posted March 28, 2017 Author Share Posted March 28, 2017 I will try to diagnose it by myself but its under a warranty so I am probably going to visit an official dealer. More updates in future. :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad-B5 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Hopefully it's just something simple :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stojic Posted March 28, 2017 Author Share Posted March 28, 2017 I hope so. This problem occurs very often on this engines, also on VW Polo. According to some previous experiences it could be anything, from flying wheel, starter, fuel injectors up to plugs. Its anoying that this happens on 2015 car with 17000km. :/) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad-B5 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Hmm, hopefully Audi will sort it out, frustrating when its practically new! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
