Good day
My 2005 VW Jetta 1.8T has 170K Kms on it. Just recently I have had an issue with intermittent starting.
If I turn the key half way, the system flashes up, fuel gauge goes to appropriate fuel level. If I have turn it fully, it will take a while to turn the car on, or possibly not at all. If I just put the key in, and turn the key fully to start the car it will not star, it will just continue to try and catch.
I have a brand new battery in the car, have looked for obvious vacuum leaks around the FPV and changed my air filter recently as well.
My experience with 1.8Ts is minimal, this is my third one and I try to do as much work on them on my own. My head space is that the issue is with fuel initially getting to the right places, and my next step was to change out the fuel filter.
Is it possible something is clogged in my gas line?
Thanks
Chris
