4.2k. Posted June 3, 2013. We had the same issue in our Bora TDi 1.9 115bhp model. Ours started with a very small loss of coolant when travelling on the Mways over a long distance. Would loose about a 1/4 of the coolant bottle. Locally it would not loose any so suggested it was while the car was at high revs for prolonged periods.
Not sure there is a need to double-cycle the glow plug for common rail engines. from the 2008 self study guide for the 2.0 L common rail TDI: For quick start with an ambient temperature of less than 64°F (18°C), a maximum voltage of 11.5 volts is present during preheating. This ensures that the glow plug heats up as quickly as possibleLocation. MA. TDI. ex- 1996 wagon, ex-2000 Jetta. Jan 16, 2010. #2. Mr. Turbo, that battery doesn't sound correct and I doubt VW under-specs the cars sent to Oz. In NAmerica, we call the battery a 94R. You may be forced to visit your main dealer to get the correct battery with adequate performance.Feb 1, 2011 Location Birmingham, United Kingdom TDI Mk5 1.9tdi Match, BMW F10 520D Jul 28, 2011 #1 Hi all, I've recently been having some starting issues with my golf its currently on 144,780 miles or thereabouts and the following work has been done on it in the past: 124,000: cam belt and oil change and all filters Wed 27 Apr 2011 15:30. VW Golf 1.9 TDI DSG - Difficut to start - Oli. Hello All, I have a Golf 1.9 TDI DSG on an 05 plate, it';s done 95k and is serviced regularly. For approx the last nine months it has a completely random issue when you try to start it. One day it will start straight away, another it will turn over anywhere between 3 or five I'm experiencing loss of electrical power to my Mk5 Golf. It seems to happen mostly when the car hasn't been run for two or three days. We changed the battery a few months ago. More recently, there was a loss of power and the car wouldn't start. We'd diagnosed it as the alternator, which was replaced. JWn0hqO.
