Hello Diesel community,
This is my first post, and unfortunately, I'm having problems with my first diesel car. It's a Polo 9N, 1.4 TDI, 75 hp, engine code BAY. The problem started with the car being difficult to start. This mostly happened when it was cold or when the fuel tank was less than half full.
"Recently, the engine's behavior has been getting worse. It stutters when idling, doesn't respond to acceleration at first, and produces a lot of smoke. The smoke is dark, but not really black."
In the recent past, the symptoms were as described above and only occurred when the engine was warm. The coolant temperature reached 90 degrees Celsius. This morning, a new stage of the problem emerged. After driving for about 1 kilometer, the car simply stopped working and refused to start until I tried cranking it for a long time.
I hope someone can help me! Thank you in advance!

Auch für dich! Welcome!
Okay, now the real work begins. Please review everything you've already dismissed and then perform the automated scan described there. After that, we can proceed further. If you don't do this, unfortunately, we have to stop here and now.

It's not particularly complicated; we'd be happy to include the link here again for your review.

Please just read this. Things are being handled in a very "democratic" way here. After reading, you can decide whether or not you meet all the requirements and want to participate, or if you don't accept it and choose to leave. As I said, that's entirely your free decision.
In the meantime, you can already check all fuel line connections and the lines themselves for leaks.
