Vw Golf Mk6 Shakes when the engine is cold
10

Asked by Hassan Nov 20, 2019 at 05:26 AM about the 2011 Volkswagen Golf TDI

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have a 2011 Vw Golf Mk6 Match Model 1.6TDI. It
has 80000 miles on the clock. Everytime i start the
car and the engine is cold, my car shakes/vibrates
very much. When the engine is warm, the vibration
stops. I read around and some people say its the
injectors, glow plug or possibly fuel pump. I had my
car plugged in at the mechanics and the injectors
look okay. This only happens when the engine is
cold - has anyone got any ideas of what it may be?

If some glow plugs are not working then those cylinders may not fire until the engine warms up. Low fuel pressure is not good for diesels so you should check the fuel pressure.

The fuel pressure is not a problem. It looks like two injectors were showing low reading however i had the car plugged in when the engine was warm, would it be better if the engine was cold?
