Hi guys, me and my mechanic friend are both struggling with this one.

Make: VW Model: Golf Engine size/Type: TDI 1.9 Sport
Year: 2004 Mileage: 105,000

Basically, the diagnosis is that my car starts absolutely fine when it is cold-no matter what the weather. However, if i've used it and then turned off the ignition, and then re-use it within half an hour or so it turns over for up to 10 seconds before it starts. I am also getting a bit of a judder in low to mid revs in gears 2 and 3 (obviously not because its just low revs).

I recently had a clutch and fly-wheel replacement, and this problem did start around the same time, but I understand this could be coincidence. I also just had the fuel filter changed, but this made no change.

Any pointers would be greatly received!

Many thanks

check the earth strap to the gearbox. Make sure it's clean and tight
