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

I don't think the pump is user-serviceable

If you do fit a s/h one, you may need special tools to get it timed.

No, the best advice is to get the car hooked up to a fault code reader.
The turbo will be shut off under some fault conditions (like if it
overboosts).

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.

Is this feasible? Thanks,

Jimmy
