Hi,
Just a couple of quick questions.
Whilst driving to work yesterday (after about 20 mins) the car stalled (instant switch of just like someone had removed the keys). Tried to restart it and the starter motor fired but the engine wouldn't catch. Left the car for 2 minutes or so and it started fine. The wife drove it straight home with no problems, she then drove back to pick me up and home with no issues although we are now getting a flashing glow-plug light and engine management light. I then drove in again this morning and the same thing happened. Just wondering if anyone has experienced the same and if they have what was the cause.
The next issue is that my local dealer - Newcastle Audi - charges (now we are out of warranty) £110 for diagnostics (a little steep for plugging in a cable I think!!). There is a good local Audi/VW specialist - Volksentre in Blyth if anyone is wondering - but they cant look at the car until 28th Jan... a little too long if this happens every day. So does anyone know a good cheaper alternative to the local dealer around Newcastle Upon Tyne?
Cheers,
RDufton
