I am beginning to have issues getting my van to start, normally after I've done a journey and everything is hot. Turning the key it then spins over but dies quite violently (flywheel noise). I also find that I've got some clutch 'judder' when the vans up to normal running temperature. Has anyone else had this? It seems to be getting worse with time and I'm getting concerned that its going to leave me stranded.
What engine and mileage?
Get it looked at, could be a failed lift pump which is not feeding enough fuel to the High Pressure Pump (which can cause damage and is expensive to replace) or a leaking injector(s) which could at best cause dilution of engine oil, at worst put enough fuel into one cylinder to cause a hydraulic lock and bend a rod (also very expensive to rectify)
Hi, mine has done this for a while now & VW can't find the fault. It's a 2021 T6.1 110bhp too & just hit 35k. Only misses occasionally when warm & can take 3 or 4 attempts to fire. Battery is OK.
Wondered if an injector or something to do with regen which dumps fuel into the cylinder on the exhaust stroke because it seems as though the engine is hydrolocking. Started doing it just over 20000 miles & is currently with them again, I'll let you know if they find anything

Hi, on top of the starting issue, my van started randomly giving lots of faults on start up ( acc unavailable, parking manouvere assist unavailable, front assist unavailable, headlight range control fault, stop/start fault etc etc, power steering wasn't working).
Because the local Van Centre were so completely uninterested I took a gamble on the battery, changed it and had it coded to the van, and, (touches wood),
it has cured the starting and all the other electrical faults.
Might be worth a shot?
