This car was towed to the dealership and was there for 6 weeks. Then it was towed back to my shop. The customer asked if I worked please have another look. When it was dropped off I had a chance to talk to the owners wife she said that she may have put a little DEF fluid in the tank at a filling station. I flushed the fuel tank and installed 4 rebuilt injectors. It has been running for 4 months since. Sometimes you really need to talk to the daly driver.

The amount of money people could save if they mentioned these things in the beginning....

Getting involved in discussions because I have a lot to learn still.

is there an accessible fuel filter? Im thinking water possibly in the filter
Also from knowing a bit about diesels here in England, Diesels really don't want to start when there's any air in the fuel system

Hi
Did you find a fix, if so, please report it as I have the same exact problem in the shop on a TDI 2.0 CR Skoda.

Thanks
