2001 vw golf 1.9 gt tdi miss fire

Hope you can help chaps, my 2001 vw golf has started to miss fire the orange engine light comes on after a few miss fires then if you allow the engine to warm then switch it off then restart it, the light goes out and the engine is fine.

    hi from your description /symptoms it sound like the coolant temp sensor ( not the temp sender unit ) is faulty by the fact that engine is ok after left to warm up a few seconds after running straight from cold ?

If you have a pd engine and you say that it miss fires i would change the wire loom to the injectors if it persists the air flow meter is on the blink, has you car ever gone into a limp mode status were you couldn't rev then check your turbo ,this may sound strange but just had a 150bhp tdi which was remapped with a very simular problem

2001 VW Diesel Golf TDI. Car started no problem. Drove to gas station. Stopped for gas. glow plug light wouldn't come on, engine wouldn't start, engine turning but not starting. Waited a few minutes then...

the glow plugs only come on when the engine is below a certain temp,so if you drove it to the gas station,chances are it didnt need them.BUT,it could have been just at the temp that the glow plugs werent needed and the engine was still coldish.happens very rarely.wet air is colder than hot air so that would also have an effect.lastly, this engine is known to foul up the injectors with carbon so use redexe/wynns or similar at 1can to 1/2 tank fuel,you WILL feel the difference.......

We think it could be the engine management system - would recommend going to a reputable garage for it to be reprogrammed.

Vw golf gt tdi 115.

If you are losing water and it is not being forced out of the reservoir (unlikely) and ther is no sign of it dripping from the engine plumbing... then if your acceleration is starting to diminish... or you seem to not have as much power as usual, then it is probably a faulty cylinder head gasket... sorry.... hopefully not, as this is a bit of a job to fix.
