Hi all,
Yesterday my 2009 2.0 TFSi Quattro would not start all of a sudden without any warning.
I had travelled approx 10 miles on the motorway and a couple of miles on minor A roads, absolutely no problems, no warning lights and no unusual noises.
I parked up outside a shop and turned the car off for approx 15 minutes.
When we got back in the car it just would not start. It was making a noise as though it was trying to start but no joy.
All electrics are working fine and I also checked the fuel pump fuse.
I left it for 20 mins and tried again but still the same.
Called breakdown recovery who came out, had a look around the engine bay, took oil cap off and got me to try and start again, still nothing. He also took the airbox apart and sprayed something across the opening whilst I tried to start it again.
His thoughts were that it sounded like a lack of compression and maybe it was timing issue or belt/chain. (he actually didn't know which one it had)
Two hours later we were recovered to home on the back of a flatbed truck.
So any ideas what the possible issue may be?
