Non-starting Audi; help needed!
 

Hi folks,

Over the past while my Audi A3 1.8 has developed this nack of not wanting to start when cold. My friendly Audi agents have now virtually ruined me financially by replacing numerous (expensive!) part over time, but not solving the problem!

Up to now, they have replaced:

Lambda sensor
Temperature sensor
Air velocity sensor
Throttle body

My thinking is that they are guessing, and funding their guesswork out of my pocket. Does anyone here have an idea as to what can be the problem, or if not, at least point me at a forum that mightu?

Thanx!

audiworld.com. I can almost guarantee it's your coolant temp sensor gauge. $30 part but kind of a pain to get too. (up against firewall etc)

www.audizine.com is pretty good too, much more user friendly interface than audiworld.

Thanx Joe, Matt!

Joe, this is the "temperature sensor" I referred to in my original post - it's been replace three times now!!! :mad: Will have them give it another bash though!
