Audi A2 Diesel from 2005: Engine indicator light, loss of power and starting problems

Longer cold start time

Loss of engine power

Check engine light on

Jerking on acceleration

Unsteady engine

Car won't start

Engine shuts off by itself

Hello folks! Have any of you had any stress with your Audi recently? I drive a 2005 A2 diesel with nearly 200k on it and have some annoying symptoms at the moment. The check engine light is on, the engine just stalls, it takes longer to start when cold, has a loss of power, runs rough and jerks when accelerating. Sometimes it even won't start at all. I have a suspicion that it could be something to do with the fuel pump. I've also had bad experiences at a garage before, so I wanted to check here first. Have you had similar problems and how did it go at your garage? Looking forward to your help and experiences!

Hello, I know your problem too. My 2008 Audi A3 had similar symptoms. At the workshop, they then discovered that it was actually the fuel pump. The software values were simply set incorrectly and caused the engine to run erratically or often not want to start. As soon as the garage fixed the problem, my car ran like clockwork again. So yes, it was a serious problem, but after the repair everything was back to normal. I hope this helps you!

Hey, thanks for the quick feedback! It's good to know that I might be right with my suspicions. Can you remember how much it cost you at the garage? And has anything else come up since then or is everything running smoothly with your Audi now?

Hey, but of course, I remember! I had to pay €45 to fix the wrong software values for the fuel pump. I wasn't expecting that, but hey, the most important thing is that the car is running again. And since I've been to the mechanic and the fuel pump fault has been fixed, there have been no further problems. My A3 is now running like a pussycat again. It seems like all my car problems are solved. Hope this helps you!

Thanks, that really helps me! The price sounds fair to me, especially if the car runs perfectly again afterwards. It's really reassuring to hear that your Audi is running well since the repair and that no new problems have arisen. So, now I have to find the time to take my car to the garage. I hope everything goes as smoothly for me as it did for you. Thanks again for the great help, and wish me luck that my A2 diesel will soon be running like a pussycat again.
