I’ve had this starting issue for the last four months. I work funny hours so I need a reliable car. Sometimes it starts after a couple of turns. Sometimes after a few more. Occasionally as now, it’s just turning but not firing. Here’s a list of what I’ve done to it up to now.
New fuel pump.
New fuel relay switch.
New fuel filter.
New spark plugs x 4
New coil packs x 4
New coolant temperature sensor.
Engine flush.
Replaced oil with Castrol Edge 5w 30
New oil filter.
Sprayed 3 cans worth of Wynn’s EGR cleaning spray.
Used Wynn’s gold fuel treatment.
Running it on super unleaded.
There’s not a lot more I can do. It’s been to a garage for a full diagnostics check and it came back as no faults found.
The only thing left is the flaps. The plastic rod from the flap actuator is snapped so not open and closing the air intake flaps. Been told this shouldn’t have an effect on the non starting of the car. But it’s too big a job for me. I don’t want to take it to an Audi dealer as I don’t have that kind of cash. And a few garages I’ve been to say they wouldn’t touch an fsi engine with it being too complicated.
So, any suggestions on things I may not have checked or done.
