Audi s3 2014 Engine start issues


 Share

Recommended Posts

Hi, ive been dealing with this issue for about 6 months now only for it to get worse over the last couple months.

I have a 2014 s3 8v dsg and whenever i drive the car and let it get to normal operating temp after turning off the car and leaving for say 30 mins when i get back in to start the car it just has this limp attempt to start before shutting off and not being able to start.

The engine is cranking but does not start, i have to mash the throttle fully down to force the car to start and when it does it just stinks of fuel because the engine is being run too rich. 

Now i have replaced the following parts as they already needed doing and some were the usual suspects:

-Battery

-All 4 spark plugs

-all coil packs

- both mag cam sensors 

- evap purge valve

- all 4 injectors 

I will attach a video to show what happens as i try to start the vehicle. The car is on quarter tank but the problem occurs no matter how much fuel is in the tank as its done it on full tank to nearly empty. 

Once the vehicle starts however and i drive it around a bit the fuel smell goes away and the car runs as if nothing is wrong. When on idle it feels completely smooth and since the injectors were replaced it feels completely fine on power. Its just a case of when turning the car off after being warm for about 30-45 mins it just has a problem trying to start. 

No fault codes shown which is annoying and ive had the car taken to an audi specialist who plugged in the vcds software and was not seeing any faults. 

If anyone can give me any info on the ignition procedure on these EA888 gen3 engines and possibly the 8v S3 in particular id really appreciate it
