do you wait a couple of seconds when you turn the key on before cranking? Glow plugs arent instant, they do take a second.
beyond that the glowplugs (or just one or 2) might be faulty.'07 Touareg V6 TDI with air suspension

Could be so many things, best get to a dealer or a mate with Vag Com, look for errors and go from there.

Look up the sponsor section, Jimmy can do mobile, and even with a small callout fee, dramatically cheaper than VW. Can't comment on the 103kw injectors, but they want well over a grand each for the 125kw, but that's a full swap, yours may just be a part, and being Bosch you can indeed get parts. The 125 has Siemens, and it seems no spare parts are being offered.2014 Skoda Yeti TDI Outdoor 4x4 | Audi Q3 CFGC repower | Darkside tune and Race Cams | Darkside dump pDPF | Wagner Comp IC | Snow Water Meth | Bilstein B6 H&R springs | Rays Homura 2x7 18 x 8" 255 Potenza Sports | Golf R subframe | Superpro sways and bushings | 034 engine mounts | MK6 GTI brakes |Comment

Weird, since they're part of the same group (like Volkswagen and Audi). Maybe the difference is they don't trust servicing when the piezo electric stack is involved.Originally posted by Greg Roles View PostResident grumpy old fart

**** that's expensive I'll post what the dealers mechanic tells me was wrong hopefully on Monday when I get it back..Comment

Yeah but why not sell the complete bolt on stack when the injector body itself is generally fine??Originally posted by kaanage View Post2014 Skoda Yeti TDI Outdoor 4x4 | Audi Q3 CFGC repower | Darkside tune and Race Cams | Darkside dump pDPF | Wagner Comp IC | Snow Water Meth | Bilstein B6 H&R springs | Rays Homura 2x7 18 x 8" 255 Potenza Sports | Golf R subframe | Superpro sways and bushings | 034 engine mounts | MK6 GTI brakes |Comment

...no, it's utter bull#$%t! You can get a serious jap half cut motor for the price of the injectors. Might have to do a fast and furious 3 if mine die!Originally posted by kyle26 View Post2014 Skoda Yeti TDI Outdoor 4x4 | Audi Q3 CFGC repower | Darkside tune and Race Cams | Darkside dump pDPF | Wagner Comp IC | Snow Water Meth | Bilstein B6 H&R springs | Rays Homura 2x7 18 x 8" 255 Potenza Sports | Golf R subframe | Superpro sways and bushings | 034 engine mounts | MK6 GTI brakes |Comment

Now THAT is a good question. It looks like it would be a straightforward job to replace once the injector was removed.Originally posted by Greg Roles View Post
You'd have to get the loom to the injector too but I'm guessing that these are no where near as expensive as the entire injector assembly.Resident grumpy old fart

The loom is now obviously more heavily insulated, and I can't see that as an impossible task to get made up worst case. It's a few hundred from the dealers apparently. The whole problem is insulation breaking down due to hot oil over time in both the loom and or the pizeo component of the injectors, as far as anyone on the net can figure. Sounds likely to me.2014 Skoda Yeti TDI Outdoor 4x4 | Audi Q3 CFGC repower | Darkside tune and Race Cams | Darkside dump pDPF | Wagner Comp IC | Snow Water Meth | Bilstein B6 H&R springs | Rays Homura 2x7 18 x 8" 255 Potenza Sports | Golf R subframe | Superpro sways and bushings | 034 engine mounts | MK6 GTI brakes |Comment

Would you consider replaing the loom with the newer part preventative maintenance Greg?Originally posted by Greg Roles View Post
