Mine did.

Car still warm,

temp shows 70degrees,

outside temp 10.5degrees,

stalls after 10metres when i stopped to give way.

Shocked,

I just assume a glitch somewhere - it ll start again...

After abt 5 starts - and 10mins ... It started! Yay!

Anyone any idea why?

You had to turn the key five times over ten minutes before it would start?

 

That sounds to me like a more serious fault than the DSG just having a bad day.

Do you have to put your foot on the brake to start a DSG? Did you forget that?

No..It will only start in 'Park'

1. I tried to restart normally (food brake, P-position) : stalls

2. I tried to restart holding in starting key position trying to crank the engine : stalls

3. I tried to restart by revving the engine: stalls

4. Retried any above

nth time. Retried (3) above worked!

After the 2nd time i did wait 2mins between each restart.

It brought back memories of the dreaded manual choke and flooded engine!

Coil pack? Turbo?

Is it at all likely the immo in the key and in the ignition aren't communicating very well?

Its a diesel

Coil pack? Turbo?

Hope not!

Its driving fine now!

A bit awkward where it stalled, at junction.

At least it wasnt in the middle of a busy rd or something - eeek!

Interesting!

U reckon?

If so, wot would one do?

New fob batts?

Re-synch fob/car?

Its a diesel

Lol

Nx u be blaming the driver!

:-)

It was just an idea, Wayne and I don't know what the 'fix' would be but new batteries in the remote key won't help as the RFID immo chip is unpowered in the key fob.

But wouldn't that give a flashing dash light?

Yes, the key symbol I think. It was just a thought, process of elimination etc, starting with coil packs

Diesels don't have coilpacks

Alternator/battery issue?

A mate has a 58 pug hipper van and his started to it out at random and then one day it wouldn't start at all, turned out that the wiring loon had come loos and cut through the wires. Cost him £800 I the end plus transport to the garage.

I've had an auto stall out on me (but without the associated 10 minutes of restart theatre). The issue was that the idle speed was slightly too low when it was just warm enough to put the cold enrichment off.

Had similar problems with an auto diesel Discovery. After a lot of investigation it was found to be the ignition key/immobiliser interface. The lock had been replaced with a Defender ( cheaper) barrel so the chip was too far from the immobiliser, new Disco barrel ( under warranty) solved it.

Deffo not that.

As I said the engine was at 70degrees since it was still warmish from earlier trip

TBH Wayne it could be anything

More likely...Its had a 'moment' and might not do it again

Best wait till D M Keith's have a look at it, rather than all this conjecture and stories of big bills and even....."Coil Packs" ...on a diesel..LOL

Was there someplace that indicated in the OP it was about a diesel or do all Superbs run Heavy Oil.?

Morning George

Diesels don't have coilpacks

I realise that, Chris, I was responding to Gadgetmans post, hence the at the end of my sentence

Thanks for clarification Lee
