Just wondering if any of the diesel experts on here have come across a problem with the MK 5 2.0 TDI whereby it takes a lot of cranking (10-15 sec) to start after it’s warm.
The problem never happens when cold, or if it’s been sitting for more than about an hour after being driven. At first it was intermittent but has gradually got worse and now happens almost every time.
It doesn’t appear to be a battery problem as it cranks as fast as it ever did.
The car has about 72,000K’s on it and has never had a problem until now; although once it’s running it runs well so it only appears to be a starting issue.
Any ideas ?
