Hello there
New to this group and trying to get through some wrinkles with my old A2 that has after 7 yrs of misuse found its way back to my ownership
I had a battery drain issues - sorted (wiring on the central locking showed up as a drain on circuit 36 and 42 I think)
Now I'm having odd staring issues and could really use some help
I don't have a code reader ... yet
Meantime it seems to start fine when cold but struggles after a short run or after cooling down a bit
I have seen I'm notnthe 1st with this issue and likely 1st thing to try is the temp sensor
That looks like a standard VAG G62 sensor. Is that right ?
Stupid question .... my temp gauge is not working atm. That's a completely separate problem right ? Different temp gauge completely for that? If so I'm struggling to know where that one is located
Also what best option for a workshop manual for these cars please .... as I'm wondering about trying to clean the throttle body too!
Many thanks for any pointers
Loving having the car back - super to drive. Need to keep the wife on board though so must get the starting issue nailed !
All the best
