guys
need help
I have a 2005 A8 3.0 diesel. I bought the car a month ago and last week one morning it failed to start. Now I work away during the week so I arranged for the car to be towed to my local garage (who have worked on all my cars over 10 years) They informed me it was the starter motor and that it would cost £220 for a replacement and 4 hours fitting so the total bill was £480. I thought this was a little on the steep side but paid it. My wife picked the car up on Wednesday and did not use it again until Friday when she picked me up from dropping off the hire car. I got in the car and guess what did not start did not turn over same problem.
Car was picked up on a low loader taken back to garage. I have phoned them this morning they now think it is a diesel problem. Diesel leaking into the chambers then making it impossible to turn the engine over????
Never heard of this problem before. They have said that it started allright this morning with a little help from a jump. I am going on holiday Friday morning canot hire a car this week. hoping someone out there might be able to throw some light on this problem
Thanks in advance
