Could not start the car

[Teou]

Hi everyone.

Just wanna share an interesting incident last night. I had to rush to a wedding dinner when the reserve-fuel lighted up. Parked at the basement and went for the dinner.

Squeezed 4 pax into the car and tried to start the car. Successful start but engine dies off, repeated it about 5 times. Damned! I just changed the battery.

I have this strange thought perhaps the fuel is too low and with the passengers in it, it has problem drawing it. Convinced my pax to get off and wait for me at first storey. Managed to start the car after that, pick up my pax and proceeded to pump more fuel.

I have to thank Dennis of Autospritze for taking my late call and patiently going through the symptoms.

Perhaps there is something more sinister with the car....

HI, thanks for the welcome. The VAG car still with the family. So technically not migrating, just expanding.
