Hey guys! I’m new to this forum so apologise for jumping straight in with a question. I will give you guys as much info as possible as this is driving me crazy!
I have a 2011 T5.1 2.0tdi when I first brought her 6 months ago she ran a dream. Few small issues like a window switch needed replacing etc but nothing big. Then after maybe a month (I use it maybe once a week for about 10miles) I started to get the flashy erratic coil light. Looked in to common causes and replaced the led lights back to standards etc checked brake lights then replaced brake cylinder switch. No joy! I had it plugged in to vagcom but this only showed a low voltage issue but the battery had died the week previous. So all reset and a new battery fitted and no flashy light for a day? Next day coil light returns this time constantly and only between about 1500-2500rpm.
I had a journey down to Devon planned about 200 mile each way so serviced her oil air and fuel filters etc. Did the trip both ways all great but yesterday had a 2min drive to do and flashy coil light on start up this never happened before. Drove down the road and sounded a bit whiny then a bit tappy. I turned the engine off and now it won’t restart I’ve been told it maybe a poor fuel filter (eBay service kit) causing it but it’s only 2 weeks old?? Any suggestions guys would be much appreciated.
I have noticed a very small fuel leak to the front of the van drivers side somewhere near the fuel temp sender thing? Related possibly??
