Re: Audi 1.9 TDI (90BHP) won't start without use of Easy Start spray
Thanks for the advice guys, much appreciated. The car is still at the
garage (an independent garage - not audi's) as the mechanic is runiing several tests. He has stated that it looks to be the fuel pump causing the problem. Chris, you stated it looks unlikely to be the fuel pump (since it is pulling fuel through OK once the car has started). Do you think the whole fuel pump would need replacing or just parts of it? Obviously a second hand pump (if a replacment is required) from the breakers yard would suffice?? Another thing, my turbo seems to have stopped working (I know, I should just scrap the car!!). It was fine until I drove 200 miles at roughly 90MPH. During this time, the ABS light would come on after driving at this speed for 50+ miles. Stopping and restarting the car would reset the ABS light, until I drove for another 10+ miles. It seems to be a ABS sensor problem (or so Ihave been told of the head audi mechanic). Is this reasonable? With regards to the turbo, towards the end of this 200 mile trip, the turbo seems to have stopped working. Now when I drive the car, it pulls up to 2,500 revs then the acceleration stops. Any advice is greatly appreciated. (And yes, probably the best advice is to scrap the car!) Cheers, Jimmy |

Re: Audi 1.9 TDI (90BHP) won't start without use of Easy Start spray
Cheers Chris.
The mechanic has ran the car through a fault detection (VAG I think) machine and handed me the small printout which reads: 028906021BD 1.9l R4 EDC 00SG 0806 Coding 00002 WSC 06317 No fault recognised Surely the report should have reported at least the fuel pump (if damaged) or the turbo are in need of attention??? The mechanic also skipped attempting to retrieve diesel from the tank by having some in a milk bottle from which he attempted to start the car. He said this would eliminate that a air leak (or something else along the line) was casuing the problem. Still the same cranking. >From this, he believes it is definitely the fuel pump.
