Help needed! Audi a3 2.0 tdi 2010 start problems
andybon:
I have the exact same problem. Every garage I have taken it to has said the same thing yet can't get it right. Other garages have fobbed me off and replaced other parts that didn't need doing which has cost me a small fortune.
I'll be interested to see how you get on with this as mine has been doing this for going on 2 years!

@doylebros thanks for the info. Last night I asked @reaper7881 to do a quick vcds scan for any stored faults. There were a couple which were cleared and today it seems better. However I will double check in the morning as today the mrs started the car and her exact words were "it seemed fine" lol

Update:
Car is still pretty much the same on a cold start, but I've noticed it settles a lot quicker now, around 5 seconds. It will be going back in to have timing adjusted.

Have you had any luck sorting this issue out?

Not sorted at the minute unfortunately, timing is correct, it's a suspected glow plug as there was a fault registered for misfire on cylinder 4. I'm seeing as it goes to see if gets any worse. Seems like that is the issue. I need to get another scan to see if the error has come back again. It didn't show after a further scan two days later.
When I start it and rev to about 1500 rpm all settles down and engine runs smooth so I think a set of glow plugs are on the cards next.
