Hello,
I just registered and now have my first question.
I bought a Golf 3 1Z TDI last week. 160,000 km, first owner, well-maintained, very good condition.
Unfortunately, it takes about 4-5 seconds before it starts. I've searched extensively, but I haven't really found what I needed.
If he is cold, he starts better than if he is warm.
Immediately after turning it off, it's worse than if it stands for 1-2 hours...
Therefore, I assume that the quenching technique itself is fine.
Verified / Swapped:
Timing belt replaced, timing belt tension correct, injection system functioning normally (VAG-COM)
Replaced 109
Needle changer replaced,
Fuel filter replaced
Incandescent bulbs are new.
Nozzle checked, OK (Bosch)
No bubbles in the performance
No fault codes detected
Starter new / Battery OK.
The car has average performance (I previously had a 225 hp 1.8T engine with 265 hp, so I don't have a direct comparison). It currently reaches around 180-190 mph, and it pulls well up to approximately 3,800 rpm. I think it's getting close to its 90 hp. Loading pressure is acceptable, and the LMM value is also fine.
Compression will be measured on Friday, and I don't know how to test the diesel pump. Unfortunately, I don't have any tools, etc., but only my good VAG-Com as a help...
I basically need to rely on a workshop, and that will become expensive again...
Do you perhaps know what it could be? Two VW workshops are completely at a loss!!!
I want to buy a car, but I definitely want to keep it. Just because of the consumption!!
Thank you in advance,
Mike
