Hi,
I haven't come across this before but hopefully someone can help diagnose an issue with a tdi.
First symptom, The temperature was showing 70 rather than the usual 90. I know that sometimes the temperature on a tdi can drop a little in the cool weather but it might be relevant.
The engine suddenly dies and talks a while to fire up again, but if left it fires up ok.
So to me it is temperature related but I might be wrong.
It is not the temp sender I replaced that a couple of days ago (not with a cheap one, it was £21 and not one of the £7 ones!!!
The reason I changed oit was due to the temperature not reading anything even when fully warmed.
I would imagine that if the temperature drops too much it might be kicking into cold running and overfuel.
Is there anything else it could be?
Any ideas?
