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,

      Hi guys

      I suffered with this same problem for 2 years on a rare and very random basis. The fule pump work with the battery so if the battery is weak it needs to work hard to crank the engine and pump the fuel back into the engine.

      This is why when the fuel is low and you have let the car seat for a few days the fuel drains back all the way down and the problem with weak battery is more ikely to manifest.

      I can not beleive that many many service requests and ECU updates at VW ... could not identify this very very simple issue.

      For me a change of battery was all it took... cracnks faster and starts everytime.

      A great angine.
