Re: Stalling then failing to start 2009 TDI 170

Stalling then failing to start 2009 TDI 170

Hi guys, I’m sorry for the incoming wall of words but I’m at a loss with how to solve this issue and want to include as much detail as possible to hopefully trigger an idea. Car’s been into the main dealers and they can’t find or diagnose any issues. As it stands I have no confidence in it and no so...

Re: Random internal beep/bong on cold startup

Thanks for the suggestions guys. It's not done it for a few days (no change in my routine) so I haven't been able to try eliminating things one by one yet..

Re: Random internal beep/bong on cold startup

Cheers Trix, I'd looked at this thread but I've heard the muted bong of the battery complaining (sitting in a car park with the radio on and engine off).

Re: Not sure what to call this!!!

In my case I notice it mostly in the morning leaving my village on the way to work. The road I take is downhill and on the way down there is a steeper bit where this feeling always kicks in. Its about 100m outside the 30pmh limit so I will be steadily getting up to speed in 5th or 6th

Re: Not sure what to call this!!!

Hi Martyn, I've noticed the same thing (also have a TDI 170 incidentally). It seems to happen mostly when its cold and going downhill. Feels almost like engine braking but I have a manual and am not shifting down.

It's on my list to mention when I eventually have time to get into VW
