Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • Golf MkV Tdi starting problems

    Hi all, looking for some help to diagnose a starting issue on my 2008 MkV 2.0 TDI DSG.

    It intermittently won't start. Usually after driving for more than 30 mins then parked and turned off for 10+ mins. When it happens none of the interior/exterior lights, remote locking or instrument lights work, put the key in ignition and still nothing. Won't even crank over. Can't do anything but wait for sometimes hours! Sometimes a jolt (like slamming the door) will bring it back to life, but not always.

    Very hard to diagnose, its been a local VW specialist all week and they couldn't fault it. They had already incorrectly diagnosed it as a camshaft angle sensor, but it didn't fix the problem.

    Any help would be great!

    Thanks
Working...
