peterasked
Hi, my Audi Q5 2l TDI just stopped whilst i was driving into a car park. i tried to restart the engine, although was only partially successful for about 1 second. When i attempted too restart the engine it only just turned over like my battery was flat, and that was it.
the only engine light to come on was the Glow plug pre engine heating light.
when roadside assistance came he did find that engine drive belt was significantly damaged.
i have had a new belt fitted and a new battery as well, although still have no success.
the mechanic is talking about a new starter motor, although i can't see how tis could cause the engine too shut down.
does anybody know if the engine shuts down automatically if the drive belt fails, and if so does it need to be reset so the engine can then start again.
should anyone have a suggestion i would love to hear it?
thanks, peter
