76Mark Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Hi folks, Wish i was saying hello on better terms, but hey-ho! Just recently traded my VW Tiguan in for an A4 Avant & regretting it already after only 2 months! First month was fine until it started to decide, that intermittently, it couldn’t be bothered to start! That’s now 8 times when my wife or I have jumped in it has refused to start! Then it can be 5 mins or 45 mins before it can be bothered to suddenly start up... yet other times it will start, no problem for several days on end?! Any ideas? Manual, 6 speed, 1.4 TFSI Avant, 67 plate. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WPAWS Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 hi Mark, do you have access to diagnostic kit such as vcds? maybe a starter motor issue or immobilizer problem. If you only had the car 2 months could the dealer not help find the problem must be some warranty on the car Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All now seems ok, thanks. cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
