I have recently just got an Arosa 1.4 PD TDI and it has just failed to start a few days ago! The starter motor cranks but she doesn't fire up!

I plugged in vag com today and earlier got 2 engine faults come up, think one was the N249 valve? Anyway didnt log them and went to check again earlier and the faults have now cleared by themselves! Checked 4 times and now coming up with "no fault found" I haven't cleared the faults and she still doesn't start can anyone help please?

cheers

Nothing special to say here, each fault code has a specific reset counter, that clears it after a certain amount of ignition and/or warm-up cycles. It's also possible the ECU simply lost them but that would be rare.

But the fault still exists so shouldn't a new code flash up after I tried to start motor again!?

Anyone shed anylight please? Is this the valve at the back of the engine next to the water bottle? As this valve is clicking like mad when running and with ignition on!?
