Audi avant 2015 c7 2l diesel. Starting issue.

[warren23983]

2015 Audi avant c7 2l diesel, any help appreciated. 

Took 2 attempts to press start button and start over a few days, then dead start. Can hear electrics doing their thing but not turning engine. 

Fault code p068900 

Any help truly appreciates. Cheers

Hello Craig,

Welcome, and thanks for joining. 
First simple elimination question - age and brand of battery, and has it been tested, in addition to all associated connections?  

Kind regards,

Gareth.

Hi, thanks for the welcome 👍so battery is a year old and been tested so eliminated that aspect. And upon pressing the start button it does everything it should - the screen raises does all the usual noises but no attempt to start the engine not even a chug. 

Past week or so it has taken 2 attempts of pressing the button for it to not stall out. I assumed it was my lazy foot on the brake not pushing hard enough down as it would start at 2nd attempt but now nothing.

What's the fault code fault? 

Could it be a glowplug, injector, cank sensor or injector module issue. Could it also be a fuel pump issue?
