I have a feeling it is related to the starter and diesel injection. Just a hunch as it does everything else perfectly. I think it is starving of fuel due to the low crank rpm of the starter which i have read is a common problem when it is worn down. I think it could also be related to the injectors, they may be dirty.Last edited by kaiisons; 16-02-2015, 07:49 AM.Comment

Thanks Luke, Know about them from my air cooled vehicles. I did not know that they did watercooleds as well.Comment

Does anyone have VCDS and would be willing to run a diagnostic scan for cheap? Don't have the funds to shell out for dealer or workshop scanningComment

Have you actually checked the battery?? How old is your battery?? Your symptoms match perfectly with a battery on its way out. These diesels are very sensitive to voltage and put high load on the battery which shows a weak battery earlier. The combo of lower voltage + too slow crank speed = no start speed reached and Ecu prevents engine run.Comment

Also your engine cover is rattling a lot at the end of the video. Check the rubber grommets. ( more a personal annoyance than something to actually be worried about )

Thanks Piper I will see if I can get the battery load tested as soon as possible. There is only one rubber grommet on mine where the 10mm nut is at the back of the engine. Hoping it is something simple as the batteryComment

No grommets in the cover itself?? If not that's why it rattles a lot :pOriginally posted by kaiisons View PostComment

on the main part there are three. but the grey insert rattles might just use some hot glue on it.Comment

It is not the battery, had it tested at a battery shop and they said it was still fine. Now the car is wobbling under hard acceleration. I think I may have bought someone elses problem.Last edited by kaiisons; 25-02-2015, 02:07 PM.Comment

How did they test the battery?? Not saying they haven't done it right just I see it quite a lot where aftermarket/ generic battery testers say a battery is fine. Genuine / vas battery tester shows battery is worn or on the verge of wear.Originally posted by kaiisons View Post
Also what is the rating of your battery??
If you are concerned about starter motor then easily checked with a multimeter.
By wobble under acceleration what exactly do you mean. May have engine mounts wearingComment
