Why does the Audi A3 2.0 TDI struggle to start when the engine is hot?
Years 2003-2013

Answer

Let's see in this guide the cause of the malfunction of the Audi A3 8P, with 2.0 TDI engine; we note in particular that the car struggles to start when the engine is hot. The problem, which often occurred on this type of engine, concerns the diesel filter which becomes clogged due to the presence of substances other than the fuel in question (we often find impurities or the presence of excessive water). To solve the problem it is therefore necessary to remove and replace the diesel filter cartridge!
