Diesel from a drum.....?

[Andrewcupra TDI]

still harder to start but am getting a funny nose from the fuel filter ??
seems as though that plastic thing on top , if i hold/pull the fuel lines a little the noise was going quiter or stopping , once the car has warmed up the noise stopped

totally baffling me now

 

[MarkWales]

didnt notice this on monday

 

[Andrewcupra TDI]

ye its because id already started her up before coming up ,

didnt seem to pull too well after putting that millers in either , like as if holding back

 

[MarkWales]

odd never had that happen

 

[Andrewcupra TDI]

im thinking it could be that valve type thing ontop of the fuel filter , tps said they were quite comon bout 17 quid to change

the other thing , checking vag com to see my injectors cilinders 1 & 4 ran negative figures and 2& 3 ran positive anyone know off hand wernt sure what to search for in vag com section

cheers

 

[brightsideteeem]

so it still isnt running right??

 

[Andrewcupra TDI]

not 100 % starting to get a little odd the 1st start up , irratic idle lumpy and makes a pidgeon noise for a few mins , then fine, runs great (odd hestitation now and then ) but when hot the car wont restart straight away needs to cool down as such , unless you hold the key in the start position for a bit to crank it over ??

am going to buy that valve t peice thingy today that sits on fuel filter

can see if thats one less box ticked

mark i will fetch my old mans laptop up for vag com see if his stil works - if your still going
il txt you in a bit

 

[brightsideteeem]

I'd sell it. You have some patience mate. Lol

 

[Andrewcupra TDI]

well some may say that , its almost there now , its gota be something silly

i have thought about it , but have already spent some time and money on it , and i still like the car if you get what i mean

anyone got any feedback on this i checked mark wales last nite and was nothing like the above

cheers

 

[brightsideteeem]

Yeah i know what ya mean mate, sentimental value isnt it, its why i dont wanna sell mine either lol

 

[Andrewcupra TDI]

yes , plus my little son loves the car , hes only 2 and can spot it in a carpark full of other cars lol,,,

ok changed that valve thingy on the fuel filter , has aided starting better from the first start of the day to almost smooth starting *

still wont turn over when hot , got into work this morning shut off then tried restarting and samething cut out / shut off , its like as if no fuel is being delivered as when i use throttle its nothing there

where as if it was sure it would sound different as if your flodding it , unless this only appiles to petrols


i wanna take my batery terminal off to wipe down the ecu adaptations , but previous owner has cut the radio code card out !!

can i retrieve this from vag com myself

and what terminal would you disconnect , negative ??

cheers

 

[oldman]

i recall that only a dealership can retrieve radio code and will need serial number - on the back

yes, negative needs to removed & 20mins is normally enough

Why not just pull the ECU fuse for half an hour

 

[Andrewcupra TDI]

could do saves getting the spanners out

cheers

 

[S3 AKR]

you can disable the security code on the radio as long as its already working OK - so obviously before you cut the battery power!

 

[Andrewcupra TDI]

ok will look in hand book on how 2
cheers

also got it booked in with that euro performance a vag specialist , hopefully can pin point it !

 

[brightsideteeem]

fingers crossed mate.

 

[Andrewcupra TDI]

cheers guys , am convinced something is controling the lack of fuel on restart

 

[peteTDI]

have you tryed live readings on engine temps (coolant not fuel) as faulty sencors giving -40 or +200 give bad hot/cold starting, also try unpluging the maf to see if she will rev over 4k as you may know maf go faulty and don't show fault codes
